Cpt. Max ( Maxmillion Adolf) is the nephew of King Philip V of Spain. In 1728,he began the study of Christianity with the followers of Frances Xavier. He took this as his surname. He left the seminay after realizing that his calling lay elsewhere.

Upon this realization, he "borrowed" one of his uncles boats and proceeded to seek out adventure. The ship he borrowed is a galleon of 800 tons. It's name was " La Nuestra Senora de Sevilla", which means The Our Lady of Seville. He rechristened it "El Amante", which means The Affectionate One. He has had at least three different crews for his ship. Ten years ago he put it in dry dock while he took care of some "business".

Missing the sea, he put her back in the water and decided to re-rechristen her. His personal flag has a motto in Latin which reads DESPERARE ET GAUDERE, which means "Despair and Ecstasy". He decided to name her DESPAIR.

He also acquired a 35 foot scooner, which he uses for fast and deadly attacks on his prey......er, ENEMIES. He named her Bella Dona, after a love, lost.

His DESPAIR comes from the emptiness of his soul.....
