Maximilian Schmidt

General Maximilian Schmidt is a new character introduced in When the Cold Breeze Blows Away.

The younger protégé of the late Wilhelm Strasse who was the Director of the Coalition Advanced Weapons Divison, Maximilian was renowned as one of the most important figures in the Coalition of the Red Star: A gifted researcher, technologist, and doctor who sought to earn the favor of Supreme Leader Victor Nevarez, using his knowledge of the Coalition's system to manipulate it and ascend in the hierarchy.

Nicknamed the "Executor", Schmidt was known to be unpredictable and volatile. In fact, he was capable of performing unimaginable acts of cruelty and viewed compassion as nothing more than a compromising human instinct that should be ignored whenever it gets in the way of scientific investigation and inquiry. His introductory recording suggests his ambition is limitless.

Holding the rank of General, Maximilian was a bona fide genius, a polymath who has revolutionised many fields of science, including biology, chemistry, physics, computing, warfare, artificial intelligence, space exploration, and many more. His aptitude is married to complete amorality and zero concern for his fellow humans.

The end result is the worst possible expression of a scientist; callous, devious and utterly evil, who sees the world purely in terms of atoms and equations, as a massive laboratory where people are servants or lab-rats. To him, humans and life itself exists to be sorted, catalogued and studied, and those who prove themselves unworthy of the right of life are treated as less than dead skin.

At the age of 45, he has blue eyes, brown hair, and wears a customized black-colored uniform.
