The former miracle man for the Florinese royalty in the tale of The Princess Bride. Though he's quite old and has been married to his wife, Valerie, for 80 years, it's unclear exactly how old he is. He lost his confidence after King Lotharon fired him and, until Fezzik and Inigo bring him Westley, he refuses to perform magic or miracles. Valerie talks him into helping Fezzik and Inigo after she hears that Westley wants to return to life because of true love, though Max does make a small mistake with his pill and only gives Westley 40 minutes instead of an hour of life.
