Biography[]
Early Life[]
Max and Evie Sommers were members of The Reestablishment. They were the key doctors and scientists of the group. They were the quiet brains of The Reestablishment. While they were military, they were focused on medical things and they kept to themselves. They “donated” their daughters Emmaline and Ella Sommers to The Reestablishment after Emmaline was discovered to be an "Unnatural," or someone with powers. When Ella didn’t show any powers, she was taken out of their custody, given an alias, relocated, and adopted. Evie put Paris Anderson in charge of Ella, who became known to the world as Juliette. Max and Evie were aware of the abusive behavior of Juliette's adoptive parents when her power manifested, but did not care to intervene.
Restore Me[]
Evie and Max appear after Juliette kills the hundreds of sector leaders, taking her back to New Zealand.
Defy Me[]
Evie and Max act as if the horrors of the last seventeen years never happened to Juliette. Like nothing strange has ever happened. Max tortures Juliette by keeping her painfully drugged until Evie is ready to "remake" her.
Imagine Me[]
Anderson goes to Max after Juliette calls Anderson attractive. Anderson asks Max if he can fix her, to which Max laughs at him.
When the alarms in the Oceania base go off, Anderson leaves Max with Juliette. It becomes clear that Max is afraid of Juliette. Max is contacted by Ibrahim through an invisible earpiece planted in his brain, who tells Max to bring her. When he tells Juliette to come with him, Juliette — still under the influence of Anderson — refuses. He then speaks down the earpiece, saying he “doesn’t want to touch her” and that he “doesn’t like the way she looks at him”. Eventually, Ibrahim has to come and get Juliette himself.
Max attempts to complete Operation Synthesis. He freezes Juliette and Warner in a “toxic light” coming from the ceiling, after they tried to help Emmaline. When Max focuses on Emmaline instead of Juliette and Warner, Juliette manages to break free, with some help from her strength power, and from all the effort the ceiling begins to shatter. Juliette cracks Emmaline’s tank. Emmaline then kills Max with her powers.
Characteristics[]

Appearance[]
Max has light brown skin, wavy brown hair and blue-green eyes.
Relationships[]
Emmaline Sommers and Ella Sommers[]

Evie Sommers[]
Evie is Max's wife. Max is absolutely devoted to her. Max seems to be the only person Evie shows any kind of affection towards.
Paris Anderson[]
Anderson and Max have been friends for 30 years, as of Imagine Me. Max patches Anderson up for him after getting injured. The only reason Anderson is still involved with The Reestablishment, even after all of his failures, is because of Evie’s indulgence of Max, who always vouches for Anderson for reasons unfathomable to the rest of the supreme commanders.
