Maximous King

**Maximous King** (formerly **Maximous Knolastname**) is the main antagonist of the next arc in the adult animated black comedy-web series Helluva Boss. He is a powerful and wealthy crime lord of the Rings of Hell, the older brother of Moxxie and the eldest son and business partner of Crimson. He is one of Moxxie's three archenemies (alongside Crimson and Striker).

## Appearance

Maximous King's appearance is fairly straightforward. He is a large, plump imp with red skin, a dark gray double-breasted suit, a light blue collared undershirt, a red neck-tie and black pants. Unlike his father Crimson and his younger brother Moxxie, his white pointy hair is short and styled into a slick-back and white striped horns. He also has sharp teeth protruding from both sides of his upper jaw and yellow sclera with black slit pupils. His shoes are black and resemble bull's hooves. He has a long, red, prehensile tail with an arrow-shaped tip. Despite appearing to be obese, his body is made entirely of pure muscle, making him immensely powerful in physical terms.

## Personality

Maximous had set out to be a great imp. A person out to do good unlike his father. Ultimately, he has become a being of pure evil. He is a cruel, cynical, shadowy, tyrannical, vicious, eerily charming, sarcastic, pompous, psychotic, ruthless, unhinged, slightly naive, cantankerous, ill-tempered, two-faced, calculating, uncaring, cold-blooded, murderous, deceitful, and cunning crime lord and businessman who says that his friends must be dealt with in a "friendly and businesslike way".
Maximous's personality traits stem from his father Crimson Knolastname's neglectful, unfulfilling upbringing. However, in spite of his negative qualities, he is also affable to everyone, especially his younger brother Moxxie. Beneath his businessman-like exterior, Maximous is clearly a ruthless, brutal murderer - during a scene with Blitzo, he is heard clearly on the phone discussing with Striker about their manner of torturing and murdering some unknown victim.

As a child, he was sadly rejected by his unnamed mother, became very jealous of Moxxie and then influenced by his father, who sought employment as a mob criminal. He also maintained a strained relationship with his mother. One day, when Crimson took Maximous out for a drive with Moxxie and stopped in the middle of nowhere where they hide the case full of gold and money for the time being until the police call off the search. As Crimson prepare to take off, he and his shark gangsters took Moxxie back into the car, accidentally leaving Maxx, hampered by his already-considerable weight, behind. He waited for a long time, but Crimson never returned for him. Maxx continued to roam throughout the desert, where he resolved to survive. He saw an oasis with loads of female imps taking a swim. He jumped into it, only to find that the oasis was a hallucination and that it actually jumped into a field of cacti. Maximous jumped out of the patch. Frustrated, he saw the poster on the cactus that says "Red Hot City". To his surprise, he found the Red Hot City (a Hell version of Las Vegas). Despite his parents' contradicting methods, he was a quiet yet lonely chubby boy. In his teenage/young adult years, Max became a gambling sensation. Maximous studied and gained knowledge. But in adulthood, since he moved to Imp City, he had amassed a great amount of knowledge and began to build a criminal empire. Around this time, he took the name Maximous King. Maximous posed as a legitimate businessman, however, he secretly grew his criminal enterprise.

Maximous was feared throughout Imp City but his true identity was unknown. Because of this, the media dubbed him Maximous "Maxx" King. He is also bitter and resentful towards his father for abandoning him and replacing him with Moxxie in the first place as seeing the family picture of him enraged him and caused him to snap at his family while expressing his cynicism towards his younger brother Moxxie, even exerting a level of brutality and deception towards his father's mafia gang. However, despite his seemingly cruel and mean demeanor towards Moxxie, he may have some degree of care towards him. He really does not like arrogance, but he does have constant mood swings, being entertaining, comedic, and laid-back one minute, cloaking his dark aspirations in sarcasm and misdirection, and then argumentative, short-tempered, impatient, and angry the next as even the slightest inconvenience sends him into a fiery rage despite his humorous attempts to remain calm.
