Maximillian (Suikoden)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maximillian is a character in Konami's role-playing games Suikoden I and Suikoden II. He was former leader of the Knights of Maximillian which rose to fame during the Succession War. Devoted to the highest standards of virtue, the knights were disbanded after the war by the Scarlet Moon Empire due to their anti-corruption stance.

Despite this Maximillian did his best to continue to his best to fight evil, usually with the help of his sidekick, Sancho. He fought bravely in the Gate Rune War and the Dunan Unification War before finally retiring. Some time between the end of the Dunan Unification War and the Second Fire Bring War fifteen years later, Maximillian passed away peacefully. His grandson, Fred Maximillian continues to fight the good fight in his memory.

His visual style, as well as his servant Sancho, give away this character's inspiration by Don Quixote, the fictitious knight in the book of the same name by Miguel de Cervantes.
