Knight Maxwell fell in love with Serzy Montaigne, the Alchymist Queen, after a long and (he thought) romantic correspondence. It was lust as much as love, and he unfortunately an unsightly mutation. Dishonored by his sin, he was sent west as a knight errant.
He traveled to the Regency of Canidium to seek Serzy's hand in marriage, but she declined upon seeing his horns. Now he travels in search of a great quest in hopes of redeeming his name.
He wears the Thermal Armor, which was granted to him by the Alchymist Queen as a token of friendship.
