Work harder! - Order minions to prioritize jobs in Maximilian's vicinity. Everything he touches will turn to gold." He'll do whatever it takes - run for president, hold a gun to the world's head - all in the name of profit. Now Maximilian is setting his sights higher than a multibillion dollar corporation. Why else would there be a need for weapons? It makes no difference to him - weapons are weapons, profit is profit, and other people are disposable.

Maximilian has even given some people a second chance to join him when the latter has crossed him. He does however, show a "nicer" and slightly more patient side with some people, especially if he sees that they can be useful. He is not above killing some of his own minions to prove a point, or even no reason at all. He is shown to be highly narcissistic, and shows, at best, contempt for most of his minions. He is however, very smart, cunning and well accomplished. It is unknown what else his narrative campaign entails.īeing an evil genius, Maximilian is a very corrupt, impatient, selfish, greedy, impulsive and hateful individual. In the beginning of the game he tries to run for ruler of the world, however this backfires. He is able to bring in more gold than the other Geniuses and this is reflected in the powers of his doomsday device (nicknamed the MIDAS device). After which, he seems to have become a lot more greedy, as evident with his inner sanctum being made of gold. He failed to take over the world in the first game. But besides that his appearance is mostly the same. His face has been made a lot smoother and his nose is much more curved. Maximilian's appearance has been mostly unchanged from his original appearance from the first Evil Genius.
