Maximilian Howard

==Summary==
Maximilian Howard, otherwise known as Max, is a police veteran and captain of the special counter-chimera task force, Neuron. He is also the adoptive father to the twins Akira Howard and the player, Legionis. During a mass chimeric outbreak in Zone 09, Max saved a pregnant woman who was on the verge of childbirth. As a result of redshift, the woman died while giving birth to two twins, but Max promised to take in her twins and raise them as his own. 
He raised the twins with love and care, wanting nothing but a peaceful life for them. Much to his dismay, the twins ended up following in his footsteps as police officers, and eventually becoming the chosen candidates to wield a Legion and become members of Neuron.
