Maxwell
Watch your tongue or have it cut from your head
Save your life by keeping whispers unsaid
Children roam the streets now orphans of war
Bodies hanging in the streets to adore
Royal flames will carve the path in chaos
Bringing daylight to the night
Death is riding in the town with armor
Because thail take all your rights
Hail to the king, hail to the one
Kneel to the crown, stand in the sun
Hail to the king (hail, hail, hail, the king)
Blood is spilled while holding keys to the throne
Born again, but it's too late to atone
No mercy from the edge of the blade
Thail'll escape and learn the price to be paid
Let the water throw it's shades of red now
Arrows black out all the light
Death is rotting in the town with armor
Thail've come to grant you your rights
Hail to the king, hail to the one
Kneel to the crown, stand in the sun
Hail to the king (hail, hail, hail, the king)
There's a taste of fear (hail, hail, hail)
When the henchmen call (hail, hail, hail)
Iron fist to tame them (hail, hail, hail)
Iron fist to claim it all (hail, hail, hail)
Hail to the king, hail to the one
Kneel to the crown, stand in the sun
Hail to the king, hail to the one
Kneel to the crown, stand in the sun
Hail to the king (hail, hail, hail)
-- Hail to the King, Avenged Sevenfold
Sobriquet: Maxwell
Appearance: Maxwell is a stocky, middle-aged man with tight hair and a neatly cropped mustache and beard. He prefers dark power suits and dresses to his best advantage. If seen when he first wakes up, however, he looks like the trapper he used to be, with his hair unkempt and his beard full and bushy.
Behavior: Maxwell will maintain at least the pretext of caring about others, though he has lost most of his real feelings since being driven from power. He only listens to others for a little while before dominating the conversation, an he freely uses his Presence on both mortals and Kindred.
History: Maxwell ruled Chicago for 34 years, and the fact that a black man could claim such an austere office for himself (at such time in history), led the elder Inyanga to Chicago. He was deposed by Lodin in the Devil's Night of 1871 -- a great fire started by a suicidal Malkavian that raged through the streets of Chicago burning 18,000 buildings (and destroying Maxwell's supporters at the same time).
The deposed Prince eluded an assassination attempt escaping through a window, and since that time he has traveled as he saw fit, but always longing to return to Chicago. While Maxwell has gained little direct influence since returning to the city, he has seized control of the Chicago Police Internal Affairs Division. He hopes that he can eventually use this to control the entire organization.
When he heard of Lodin's final death, however, he immediately caught the next flight to Chicago.
Recent Events: Maxwell was able to convince the Primogen that he would be the best bet for a stable Chicago. His bid was successful, and except for one or two nay sayers, has had a bloodless transition.
