Max Miller

**Max Miller** was one of the special children who participated in the 66th Hunger Games. He possessed Bell of Lies, the hereditary power of the Balam Clan. He was one of the first to die, having killed himself out of guilt.

## Personality

Max was a teenage guy with brown hair and eyes. He was fairly short and scrawny with bruises across his body, parts from his bullies at schools while parts from his father and uncle.

## Personality

Max was a quiet, solemn, and nervous person who jumped at the slightest of sound. While he wasn't a cruel person at heart, he grew resented of the world because of his constant abuse under the hands of his father and the relentless bullying he got at school. When he found out the truth of his power, he killed himself out of guilt.

## History

Max Miller was born to Jim Miller and his first wife, who died of a house fire when Max was only a few months old. However, this was not the case as she was killed by the Sisters of Istehar when she tried to stop them from feeding him Lilith's blood.

His father blamed him for his mother's death and constantly abused him ever since he was young, both physically and verbally, and sometimes his uncle Roger would join him. They spread lies about him across town, which resulted in him being bullied by his peers. When he was 12, his father married a new wife named Alice who turned a blind-eye to his abuse.

When his demonic power first manifested as a telekinetic ability, he used it to have revenge on all those who had hurt him. He used his power to kill his abusive father and uncle and fake it in a drunk driving accident, and caused multiple students in his school in a variety of ways, from accidents to gang wars to poisonings and seemingly suicides. While his stepmother suspected him to be the cause behind the constant deaths in town, she didn't say a word in fear of becoming the next victim, and thus, she was spared by Max.

Like other special children, he was summoned to the Phlegraean Fields to participate in the 66th Hunger Games. However, because of shock and fear and guilts, he committed suicide and became one of the first to die in the battle.
