Max

Max is the young son of Great Council member Miranda and famed Royal Theatre playwright-in-residence Raymundo. He appears in Ultima VII as one of several children tended to by the Royal Nursery.

Description
Often found in the nursery of Castle Britannia or out playing in the company of Sherry the Mouse, Max was an energetic toddler. Still bearing a childhood lisp, the boy would pronounce his name as "Makth," and would claim to be a "funny boy" and a capable singer. Should the Avatar ask for a performance, Max would belt out a raucous rendition of "Old Lord British Had a farm." Should the hero further inquire as to his reputation as a "funny boy," however, the child would throw his pacifier at the confused Avatar, engaging in some manner of game in which the befuddled hero had to return his "binky."

His mother, Miranda, appears in Ultima Underworld II, trapped in Castle Britannia. The boy, however, does not. Presumably, he was not under the Guardian's blackrock dome when it formed.

Trivia

 * Max's portrait is based upon Max Benson, the real world son of the game's lead writer, Raymond Benson, who in turn gives his visage to Max's father Raymundo.
 * If Nanna is present during a conversation with Max, she will correct his pronunciation of his name.
 * Max, like all of the nursery children, will cut short conversations while in the midst of a game of tag.
