In the Light Timeline, Maxwell would raise his daughter and send her to the Ogaji School for Future Heroes.

## History

### Early History

Maxwell was born into the House of Robins, as the prince of the Desert of Thieves. He was the first-born son, and the heir to the throne.

Being the first born, he also inherited the Elemental Power of Steel that is passed down to each King. Maxwell was trained since he was a child to wield and master this power.

Because of his seclusion from the rest of the world, the future king of the Desert of Thieves, he was not able to participate in the Extinction of the Elemental Masters.

Unbeknownst to him, his brother Mojo and his partner Belkoff planned the assassination of him, but the plan failed miserably. Instead of killing his brother, Mojo accidentally killed his parents instead. Ashamed of what he had done, he and Belkoff fled the Desert forever.

Maxwell was heartbroken and disgusted at the terrible act done by his brother. With his father gone, it was only fair that he takes the mantle of king, but the people of the Desert were angry. Mojo was well liked in their country and thought that Maxwell had framed his younger brother. Because of the controversy, and inability to remain, Maxwell had to flee the desert.

### New Life in the Royal Family.

Due to his humbleness, Maxwell sought out lowly jobs to keep himself stable after fleeing the Desert. He originally applied to be a knight for the Ogaji Royal Family, but his status as prince and his skill with a dagger made him more fit to be a bodyguard. Eventually, he rose up in the ranks, and became the personal Master at Arms for Princess Zea.

### Milo's Adventures

#### The Light Knight

Maxwell spent his days watching over the young princess protecting her in every way. When his brother Mojo attacked the castle twice, he attempted to fight back, but was ordered by the king to leave it up to their head knight, Jonah.

Mojo made quick work of Jonah, and the Royal Family was forced to find the real Hero of Courage. Luckily, Timothy Rogers stepped in and saved the day, eventually becoming the Hero of Courage.

Together with Maxwell and Zea, the three of them reformed Team Waters to be able to stop the now looming threat of Bamos, and to finish the quest that Milo started to find the other fallen Elemental Masters.

A few days later in the middle of the night, the Palace was broken into, and Zea's parents were killed. Mojo was accompanied by a great evil. . . He was called Bamos, the Knight of Darkness.

Outside the Palace, Timothy and Zea fended off her parent's murderers, and in a confusing battle, Zea was killed as well...

Timothy and Maxwell returned to their cottage, and Maxwell said he may as well quit considering he has no powers and he only tagged along because of the Princess, but Timothy convinced him to stay. In the following months, Timothy and Maxwell made great strides in the battle against Bamos. Timothy unlocked his Golden power, they met Kai the Master of Fire from Ninjago, they found the Master of Nature, Simon, and the Master of Creation.

Together, they weakened Bamos to the point where his powers were drained from him almost completely. However, with the help of his son Lukas, he regained his strength (and tossed his son to the side later)

When Bamos’ full strength returned he attacked the Ninja’s base and used his powers to curse the elemental masters once again. He turned Simon into a tree, Maxwell into a metal statue, and sent Kai back to Ninjago. (The Master of Creation and Form had already fled)

Now that Timothy was all alone, Bamos was about to deliver the final blow, when all of a sudden, he was struck from behind! His son Lukas had returned, angry that his father abandoned him, he found the second Cursed book that held the power of the Overlord. He absorbed the power of Shadow, and was now more powerful than Bamos… He killed his father, and assumed a new title: Serces, the Sorcerer of Shadows.

With his newfound power, Serces killed the members of Team Waters, and placed a curse on Maxwell that turned him into a metal statue, killing him.

Maxwell's soul would go to the Sacred Realm where he would wait until the final battle comes.

#### Doomsday

Maxwell returned with the rest of the Elemental Masters to fight Genesis and his army.

He fought against his brother and defeated him, along with the other heroes who stopped Genesis for good.

Maxwell would return to the Desert of Thieves after this and get married and have a daughter.

### Rebirth

During the events of *The New Elemental Masters*, Maxwell helps the The New Ninja of Ogaji by letting them use the Desert Palace, his home, as their base of operations, which also happens to be the place where the Realm Crystal was stored.

Carlo and Sheiver eventually show up there for the crystal, and Maxwell is killed in battle.

### Ogaji Origins

Maxwell returns, along with every other previous Elemental Master who fought in Doomsday, to take down Nightmarre along with the Elemental Masters from the future.

When Nightmarre is finally defeated, Maxwell goes on to live a long and happy life in the desert with his wife and daughter in the Light Timeline.

## Description

Maxwell has short black hair a beard and a goatee. As a result of being part of the race of people residing in the desert, his skin color is of a different pigment than most other Ogajians.

He typically wears dark grey ninja gi, to reflect his Elemental Power over Steel.

## Personality

Maxwell is narrow minded, but his head is usually in the right place. Among the teams he has been a part of, he was known as the voice of reason. It is because of this that he was a trusted advisor to the princess, and her Master at Arms.

## Abilities and Weapons

Maxwell's Elemental Power, Steel, allows him to change the properties of any object he is touching into pure metal. This is only demonstrated using his signature **Spear of Steel**, but due to his daughter possessing his same ability, it is known that if his True Potential as unlocked, he could turn whatever he touches into metal.
