Finale (main antagonist)

Ink Max is a powerful mastermind. The main antagonist of the Traitor series, he rules as Supreme Leader of The Ink Authority.

A terrifying and egotistical figure of power, Ink Max is a psychotic mastermind and cunning deviant, having little to no care for organic life on the offset of a few things. He takes a great disliking to humanity and wishes to rule over it all as a means to "purify" it completely to his likings. He is the arch-enemy of the series' main protagonists excluding Michael Andrel.

He was portrayed by Melle Van Der Poel in the 4-Episode pilot run of Traitor. In the main series he is portrayed by Andre C.

## Appearance

Ink Max has a massive build-up with a huge muscular body. he is towering over any other character, being 12 ft tall. his face shows eyes that seem to almost be empty, one of them having a scar. His mouth has razor-sharp teeth with blackened gums. In some of his latest artwork, he seems to have lines running down his eyes similar to that of a clown. His face is also paler, indicating how he's never been fully human. He has the ability to morph his hands into blades at ease and at any length. He is currently the largest character in the entire franchise, with his form being twice the size of the normal human. For his outfit, he wears a dark charcoal flannel double-breasted suit with widely spaced white pinstripes. A crimson tie is complete with the suit alongside shined Bruno Marco dress shoes. At times, he'll don a clear poncho as to not ruin his suit. In different episodes, variations of this suit are worn by him such as different ties.

## Personality

Ink Max is a rather enigmatic figure, but it is known that he has a personal vendetta against humanity. He mainly wants to stop the rebels from disrupting his plans. Nonetheless, he normally keeps a calm sense of dignity to himself, making it hard to get information out of him.

Ink Max is a boastful, intelligent and confident villain, understanding his power and not using it's full potential unless necessary. A quirk he likes to make clear is the fact he is all-powerful and the universe's ultimate living power. It goes without saying Ink Max has sheer confidence to aid him alongside his size and power, to which he uses this and his devious nature to intimidate enemies or underlings into following his orders or surrendering.

Ink Max is also quite capable of mental tormenting at a dangerously close level (although most isn't specified), making him a dangerous enemy in a battle of wits. Ink Max is also a divisive schemer and designer, being the mastermind of a massive government.

Ink Max comes off as a sly and egotistical individual, showing zero remorse for anyone, normally giving anyone a solid, glaring expression as he speaks, suggesting he either finds his underlings requests or questions annoying and useless to his personal gains or refuses to show many emotions. Nonetheless, he is a rather stoic person, not showing many emotions to most situations.

Ink Max normally cracks horrid insults at victims and enemies to shatter their confidence and cave in to him. going as far as making fun of Jake's sadness for losing his wife years prior and mocking Kate's depression, posing as her father multiple times to mock her.

Ink Max is also a charismatic individual, wooing over many people. Despite this, he has zero care for these people besides his wife, Ink Samantha. At times, he will properly manipulate her to keep her in line and where he wants her to be, going as far as bruising her during fists of rage and anger at something else or even forcing himself onto her, giving the idea that their relationship isn't exactly a healthy one. The same is said for his children, who he'll ridicule and embarrass just for the sake of it being possible.

Ink Max is also known for being racist, misogynistic, murderous, torturous, homophobic, and anti-Semitic, but feigns concern for equality and "traditional moral values" for the sake of his public image of modernity, or simply out of the misguided notion that this would render him more agreeable. Surprisingly, the façade he puts on for his supporters works every time.

Ink Max appears to be nothing more than a blank figure with a shallow personality upon first glance. However, this first glance can be easily dismissed entirely once someone sees Ink Max's true nature.

Ink Max is considered a polar opposite to that of the main protagonists. Whereas the protagonists wish to create and help others, Ink Max destroys and manipulates anyone he can. He is often considered a metaphor for hatred, based on how he is nearly unagreeable in anything he may do.

## History

Ink Max's history prior to meeting Anthony Rodgers is shrouded. Little to nothing regarding it is foretold on the exception of small details normally sprinkled in with very little context or meaning.

## Powers and Abilities

* **Telepathy:** One of Ink Max's most useful psychological powers, Ink Max is capable of peering into minds of others to get what he wants. It's normally a last ditch effort is breaking them with simple fear isn't enough.
* **Pain Inducement:** Ink Max is capable of delivering fatal injuries to victims if need-be. He normally uses this when they attempt to run away, to which he'll send a deep cut to their leg to slow them down. He is also capable of simply killing them on the spot but decides to conserve his power unless absolutely necessary.

## Trivia

* Ink Max never is seen using a weapon or some sort of blunt object to harm enemies, relying on his fists or powers to do so.
* In early drafts to Traitor, Ink Max was meant to be a simple ploy for a greater evil. But Charmer scrapped it mainly due to him thinking it'd waste the character's potential.
* Ink Max's backstory is something of a situation, with Charmer having switched it up and changed it in the past. He claims that he wants a good backstory where the audience can slightly sympathize for Ink Max but not one where he's outed as a misunderstood or confused villain.
	+ A variation that was nearly used was that Ink Max grew hatred for humans after the Roman Empire wiped out his species. However, this would make it seem as if he was rightfully getting revenge.

* Charmer has confirmed that Ink Max is fully aware that he's doing the wrong things and is considered a horrible person by the mutual public but he goes on to follow with "But in truth, Ink Max doesn't care in the slightest and simply feeds off of this hatred against him".
* Ink Max has been noted to "not enjoy tea" despite being british. The reason is due to his tastebuds, tea tastes absolutely atrocious. Even adding sugar makes it taste worse.
