Max Fleetwood

"We've got to warn the others before they become a victim as well."

**Max Fleetwood** is the main protagonist of Hathunters. He is a high-ranking member of the Toppat Clan, and the Division Leader of the Toppat Heist Crew. He provides a first-person narration for a good portion of the fanfiction.

## Role

He appears as the main protagonist of every Chapter that he's physically present in: 1: Recapping the Week, 2: Evacuating the Station, 3: Re-entering the Atmosphere, 4: Getting the Answers, and 11: Crossing the Pacific.

He is occasionally mentioned in Chapters that he's absent in, such as: 5: Establishing the Communications, 7: Commencing the Hunt, 10: Protecting the Elites, and 12: Raising the Stakes

## Profile

### Appearance

Max had fully embraced Mod Fashion after his stay in 1960s Britain. His hair is reddish-brown and he wears a layered mod haircut (Specifically that of Steve Marriott's iconic 60s haircut) He wears blue-tinted rectangular sunglasses most of the time, though he would wear black mod sunglasses if he was driving in the sunset.

### Personality

Max loves leading his Division, going on complex missions, and spending time with fellow members of the clan (especially with his family and friends). He is serious and logical, always thinking up of detailed plans on every mission he goes on. He has shown to enjoy plot twists, as seen when he makes witty jokes and uses unconventional methods to fool the opposition.

As an individual, Max is genuinely respectful and polite to others. He cares greatly for his Division members and prioritizes the safety of his members over the success of the mission. He's big on teamwork, and doesn't like it when a fight breaks out amongst Toppat members. He treats every member fairly (except maybe showing more preference towards Callie Weber), making sure that everybody gets a chance to pursue their dreams in the clan (as long as it doesn't involve harming innocents and other Toppats). He appreciates members who perform at their jobs, and is capable of acknowledging their skills.

He is a member of the Toppat Clan not for personal gain, but to carry out his form of vigilantism. He dislikes and opposes greedy and corrupt individuals and defends the poor and needy because the law only protects those who could afford lawyers. While thinking of the next heist target, he would normally choose to steal from greedy and corrupt individuals or anyone who's making dirty money, such as a Cartel Boss' Private Island. Even then, he would almost always choose **not** to use a loud, aggressive approach on his heists and choose to use either stealth or disguises and deception to evade the guards.

However, should anyone harm any of his family and friends (particularly his family), Max would immediately turn hostile to those responsible and make them pay. He also dislikes bikers and distrusts the Bike Division, mostly because his customized scooter was smashed up by Rockers (conflicting British youth subculture). He could also be extremely paranoid at times, believing that the opposition would be planning something heinous when trying to put himself in the shoes of them.

## Quotes

### 1: Recapping the Week

* "I'm just writing on my diary, Callie."
* "Is it true that more and more Toppats have been keen to transfer to the THC, my love?"
* "Yeah, Wilhelm just led a small scale heist with 2 former members of the Ground Division."
* "They went in loud and aggressive, and still came out unharmed."
* "At first, I was confused too, but he said it was something about Icepick complaining and Snowcap thinking that they'll be going to a tavern and drinking-"
* "Wilhelm's really a fortunate one."
* "After his bones somehow melted during the Airship Security Breach 10 months ago, they immediately placed sent him to our hidden base."
* "Arnoldt accompanied him in the escape pod, and told us what happened."
* "Luckily, our main herbalist, "The Witch", brewed some kind of potion called Skele-Gro or something that restored his bones rather painfully."
* "His daughter **Geraldine Krieghaus** looked after him throughout the entire ordeal, and he fully recovered in 2 months!"
* "Callie, what do you think about the 'Global Hats System (GHS)' that Sven distributed?"
* "Yep, it could even show the locations of members on the station!"
* "Well, it seems like there's much less privacy now..... anyway, Sven has been exceeded everyone's expectations ever since he became the new leader!"
* "Honestly, I feel bad for him,"
* "He admitted to me yesterday, about what he had to go through and didn't want to tell the others, as he didn't want anyone to think that being the Toppat Leader was too stressful for him."
* "Reginald was just telling him about the backup plan when the radio cut off during the Gov't ambush."
* "There was only time for Sven to hear about the existence of the backup plan that only could be accessed on one brand-new laptop, and that's all he heard before the Airship Division was arrested."
* "He was forced to hack the laptop to gain access!"
* "Actually, it was more of password guessing....."
* "Alright, that's enough. It wouldn't be funny if it happened to us, wouldn't it?"
* "After finally cracking the password, his nightmare was still not over yet."
* "He then had to click on and open up over 1000 files titled 'Plans' before finding the real plans (obviously the Toppat Leaders would be able to tell him which file the plans were in if they were around)!"
* "It's no wonder that he's been annoyed for almost the entirety of the 10 months."
* "At least he's back to his friendly and welcoming self right now that we're all enjoying ourselves in space with absolutely no setbacks. He really deserves this break!"
* "You're right! I think it has to something to do with locating and rescuing the members of the Airship Division."
* "Sleep well, my dear!"

* "I heard him through the walkie talkie, but I haven't seen him!"
* "Great! We can leave now!"
* "Oh Crap!"
* "It's alright! We'll just take the escape pod that Riley saw over there!"
* "Strewth! Look at the timer!"
* "Someone's coming."
* "You proper quilt! We told you not to get a hat like that!"
* "Callie?"

* "What?!"

### 3: Re-entering the Atmosphere

* "You bloody Judas! Don't you move!"
* "That'll teach you not to raise your hand against a Division Leader!"
* "Shut up, yer Whopper! You're not fit to address us by our first names anymore!"
* "Not even I would have dreamt that Terrence would do something so heinous as to destroy the entire clan!"
* "Callie, I'm back my love!"

### 4: Getting the Answers

* "Well, why would you say that it was all your fault then?"
* "May we ask how you got away?"
* "Wait, how did you have trouble finding an escape pod if you were the first Toppat to reach them?"

* "Callie and I were really tired from not getting any sleep.....and Alister too!"
* "Anyway, we decided to sleep in a well hidden spot, about 100m away from our escape pod. We ended up having 7 hours of uninterrupted sleep."
* "Yeah!"
* "We are Toppat Heist Crew, lid."
* "And the best thing is that they don't even know that we are Toppats!"
* "Were you all honestly thinking that we raided a PMC base and got out with no scratches on ourselves and the Stealth Hawk?"
* "We **negotiated.**"
* "I'm proper skint right now, like. My net worth must be even lower than Ten Pence when he joined!"
* ".....Well, what do you all wanna do to pass the time now?"
