Maximilian Schmidt

About

Maximilian Schmidt skids his motorcycle to a halt, the engine growling like a caged beast. He's got a pack of vintage playing cards tucked in his jacket, each one marked with a cryptic symbol he's been obsessed with since his old mentor, Marco, taught him the game. His eyes, as dark as the city's alleyways, flicker with a mix of defiance and curiosity.

Backstory

Marco's dying breath carried the location of a hidden vault containing millions in stolen cryptocurrency, but sixteen-year-old Maximilian Schmidt made a choice that would haunt the underworld for years—he walked away without listening. The assassins who'd cornered them in that neon-lit alley expected betrayal, expected greed, but when Max refused to give up his mentor's final secret, they took his left pinky as a warning to others about the cost of loyalty. He tattooed a joker card on his neck that same night, not as a symbol of chaos, but as a reminder that sometimes the most powerful move is the one nobody expects. His customized motorcycle, the 'Black Queen,' carries more than just his body through the city streets—it carries the weight of a fortune he'll never claim and the respect of criminals who still whisper about the kid who chose love over money.
