**Name:** Maxwell

**Age:** 26

**Birthday:** June 27

**Gender:** Male

**Height:** 1.85m

**Occupation:** Call Center Operator

Zambia’s Maxwell feels strongly about social causes. The call center operator says that when relaxing he spends most of his time helping the poor. If he’s given the opportunity to spend the day with someone famous, he’d choose Nelson Mandela because “he’s got a heart for the poor.” And if Maxwell could visit any one place in the world, he’d go to Martin Luther King Square.

Over and above his social conscience, Maxwell has a sense of humor, even about his most embarrassing moment ever. “I was busy boasting about how much I loved my girlfriend only to discover she had already dumped me!” Maxwell loves music by Malaika, Mandoza, Bricks, Nathan Nyirenda, K’millian, Koffi Olomide, 2Face, P-Square and the Sakala Brothers.

Outside of Kenya, she loves Greece or Rome because of the way they have preserved the artefacts and culture through the generations. “I love art and I’d kill to live there!” she says. She has 3 siblings - all brothers, and all older - and lists her late father as her role model because he taught her the art of tolerance and hard work. Annabel says she loves attention and is looking forward to having Africa’s eyes on her 24/7. “It makes me feel like the princess I’ve always been,” she says. Her family is happy she’s going to be on the show and she says they can’t wait to tell everyone they’re related to her.
Aptekarka Oni'jus

**Aptekarka Oni'jus** to obecna nieumarła Opuszczona, niegdyś półelfka łotrzyca. Wraz z Mistrzem Aptekarzem Faranellem oraz Aptekarką Brightflame Masjenal stanowi ścisłe kierownictwo Królewskiego Stowarzyszenia Aptekarzy (*Royal Apothecary Society*) - acz od momentu wprowadzenia dodatku Wrath of the Lich King ważną rolę we władzach Stowarzyszenia - choć bliżej nieokreśloną - pełni również Wielki Aptekarz Putress. Sama Oni'jus bezpośrednio nadzoruje dział **Testowania** (*Testing*). Ta postać jak dotąd nie pojawiła się w grze World of Warcraft.

## Wygląd i historia

*Za życia próżna z racji swej urody, obecnie owija rozkładające się ciało czarną tkaniną, pomagającą jej skrywać się w mroku. Nikt nie wie, jak wygląda pod osłaniającym ją materiałem; widać jedynie jej lśniące oczy.* (Lands of Conflict)
Przed wojną Aptekarka Oni'jus szpiegowała dla Arthasa - dzięki swym umiejętnościom doprowadzała do ujawnienia wrogów księcia. Opuściła go, nim ujął w dłonie przeklęty runiczny miecz Frostmourne. Kiedy wracała na drugi kontynent, pragnąc ostrzec Lordaeron, padła ofiarą Plagi. Jednak silna wola, wykształcona podczas służby Arthasowi, pozwoliła jej zachować przynajmniej częściową niezależność. Dzięki temu ochoczo odpowiedziała na zew formującej bunt Sylvanas Windrunner.

### W służbie Sylvanas

Aptekarka Oni'jus jest wysoce wykwalifikowaną trucicielką i zabójczynią. Doceniając jej zdolności Sylvanas postawiła ją na czele działu Testowania (*Testing*) nowopowstałego Królewskiego Stowarzyszenia Aptekarzy (właśnie Oni'jus dodała do jego nazwy słowo "Królewskie"). Dział ten zajmuje się pozyskiwaniem obiektów do testowania sporządzonych przez Oni'jus lub członków działu Faranella trucizn i mikstur. W tym celu członkowie wydziału wyszukują i porywają tak żywych ludzi jak i przedstawicieli Plagi. Oni'jus serdecznie nienawidzi Plagi i Arthasa. Za swą największą porażkę uważa to, że nie dostrzegła pogłębiającego się zepsucia księcia. Całe swoje dalsze istnienie poświęca zniszczeniu go.
