Biography
Maximillian was secretly the leader of a coven which worshipped the Fendahl. He led the ceremony which transformed Ransome into the Fendahl Core. When he saw his coven members being transformed into Fendahleen, he realised it had all gone horribly wrong. His fate was sealed when he briefly locked eyes with the Fendahl and was overcome by a permanent, near-total paralysis. Realising he was doomed, he used a gun which the Fourth Doctor gave him at his request to commit suicide, saving himself from the fate of his bretheren. (DW: Image of the Fendahl)
