Maximilien is a wealthy omnic and a member of Talon's inner council. He runs a casino in Monaco.[2]
Story
Maximilien was known to Blackwatch at least eight years prior to the disbandment of Overwatch.[3] After the death of Antonio (of whom he was an associate), Maximilien was among those who stepped up to fill the void he'd left.[2]
Storm Rising
After the King's Row Uprising, Overwatch struggled to arrest Doomfist. Overwatch agent Sojourn recommended that they instead capture Doomfist by targeting Maximilien, and she sends a strike team to arrest him.[4]
Masquerade
Maximilien met with Doomfist and Widowmaker at a casino in Monaco shortly after Doomfist's prison break. There he apprised Doomfist of goings-on within Talon, reaffirming his loyalty to Doomfist's cause and warning him that some within the organization would have preferred to see him remain behind bars. After defeating a group of hitmen sent by Vialli, a rival Talon council member, Doomfist asked Maximilien to clean up the mess and departed.
Maximilien later met with Doomfist, Reaper, and other members of the inner council in a hidden boardroom at a masquerade ball in Venice, Italy, where Doomfist discussed his plans to start a new war.[5]
Trivia
Maximilien with ₶ symbol pin.
- Maximilien is the same first name as Maximilien Robespierre, icon of the French Revolution known for his Reign of Terror, a political time of persecution, mass execution and fear which led to King Louis XVI's execution, as well as Robespierre's betrayal and execution of his own friends, until Robespierre himself was eventually executed.
- Maximilien is a French variant of the Latin name Maximilianus, derived from the names of two Roman generals: Maximus and Aemilianus.
- During the casino scene of Masquerade and during the Storm Rising Archives event, Maximilien is shown wearing a golden pin in the shape of the symbol for the livre tournois (₶),[6] an out-of-circulation currency formerly used in France. The livre tournois was the primary monetary unit in France from the 17th century until the franc was established in 1799 to reflect political changes that occurred in the country during the French Revolution.[7]
