Sir Max is a supporting character in Phoenotopia and possibly Phoenotopia: Awakening. He is an elite knight who was tasked with protecting the royal family of Daea before the palace was infiltrated by Kobolds. Sir Max defended the royal family and tried to ward off the Kobolds, but he was no match for their advanced weaponry and was subdued, resulting in Prince Leo being held hostage in his own tower by their general. He was then thrown into a cell in Daea's dungeon along with Thomas and a few other innocent soldiers.
Events of Phoenotopia
Sir Max is first seen after Gale defeats the Daea Guard Horde and frees the prisoners in Cell A, one of them being Max. After Gale and Thomas are reunited, Max introduces himself and explains how Daea's palace was invaded by the Kobolds. He asks Gale to break into the Prince Tower to rescue Prince Leo, to which she agrees.
After Gale defeats the Kobold General and rescues Prince Leo, Sir Max suggests they all go to Panselo and keep Leo there for his own safety. He also accompanies the other adults in the adults-only meeting where the group figures out what to do next. At the meeting, Billy explains the situation with the Galactic Federation's impending invasion of Earth and how it can be prevented by obtaining the Phoenix Weapons hidden in the Forbidden Lands.
Leo agrees to let Gale journey into the Forbidden Lands to retrieve the Phoenix Weapons. Sir Max heads out to the Great Walls to notify the guards stationed there that Gale is a "special agent" of Prince Leo who is authorized to enter the Forbidden Lands. Once Gale is given access, Sir Max escapes with Prince Leo to the neighboring kingdom of Rhodenia to seek help for the coming invasion.
Trivia
- Sir Max is one of the few NPCs who can be given an Appreciation Flower by Gale. He starts to mistake this as an act of love before being corrected by Gale, at which point he covers up his mistake by praising their friendship.
