Max Rockatansky is an Advocacy Patrol officer tasked with maintaining law and order in the UEE. Max is quiet, rarely speaking to any great extent, and never paying much attention to his steadily increasing reputation. He and his wife, Jessie, have an infant son.
Though some consider him the best officer on the force, he is secretly afraid that he is becoming as cold and heartless as the criminals he pursues. He reached a breaking point when a gang of criminally insane pirates knows as Nine Tails burn Max's partner Goose alive inside his Cutlass Blue patrol ship. That event led to Max's resignation from Advocacy and a pursuit of justice of his own design.
