―Ultimis Richtofen about Maxis.

Doctor **Ludvig Maxis** is an original character who appears in *The Walking Dead X Call of Duty Zombies*. He was the leader of Group 935, a scientific research organization dedicated to improving the human condition, who oversaw the project known as "Der Riese" and aided in the creation of the zombies and hellhounds. He was also the father of Samantha Maxis. Despite not making a physical appearance in the series, he is frequently mentioned by both versions of Edward Richtofen, and his voice can also be heard via radios.

## Pre-Apocalypse

### Near Breslau, Germany

Nothing is known about Maxis' life before or as he founded Group 935, however, he invited Edward Richtofen to work with him at Der Riese, Group 935’s main facility stationed near Breslau, Germany. He had worked with Richtofen on various projects, including teleportation and wonder weapons using a new element that was discovered near the Tunguska River: Element 115. When Richtofen and fellow Group 935 scientist, Dr. Schuster, successfully teleported a walnut, Maxis scolded them for not working on the assigned wonder weapons projects. It was then revealed that Maxis had made a pact with the Nazi Party for weapons research in exchange for funding, and as such, he ordered Richtofen and Schuster to end their teleporter experiments and return to their assigned work.

As their experiments with Element 115 continued, Maxis became worried about Richtofen as he believed he was becoming a threat to him and his daughter and inviting him to Group 935 was a mistake. Before the zombie outbreak, Maxis became romantically attracted to his secretary, Sophia, which distracted him from his duties as Group 935’s leader. Richtofen believed Maxis was distracted and was unfit to lead Group 935, and when he learned that Maxis didn’t keep his promise to mass-produce the Wunderwaffe DG-2, Richtofen conspired against him.

After World War II ended, Maxis began his own teleportation experiments with Richtofen as his assistant; one of such experiments involved his daughter’s dog, Fluffy. He attempted to teleport Fluffy, but the experiment failed as the dog did not return to the mainframe. Not long after, Fluffy returned to the teleporter by an electrical force. Maxis demanded the door to be opened, but Edward refused. When they finally opened the door, Fluffy had transformed into the first hellhound. Samantha ran into the room, asking her father what he had done with Fluffy. The hellhound began to attack, destroying the room. Maxis tried to calm and reassure his daughter and then tried to escape, but Richtofen locked the door behind him, trapping him and Samantha with the raging hellhound. Richtofen then activated the teleporter, sending all three away.

While his daughter was teleported to Griffin Station and trapped in the M.P.D., Maxis was apparently teleported to a tomb where he developed the ability to merge with electricity. Richtofen, realizing that Maxis wasn’t dead, ordered Groph and Schuster to find him and calm down Samantha. When brought to his daughter, Maxis apologized to her for all that he had done to her, and then told her to kill all the members of Group 935 for betraying him. Shortly after, Maxis shot himself in the head, sending Samantha over the edge as she began her killing spree.
