Max is an angry, jaded ten-year-old who is extremely pessimistic and seems to despise a wide variety of things, including, but not limited to, all of the amenities of Camp Campbell and David. He seems to have a bad home life with his parents not caring for him, which might be the reason for his behavior. Max has gone out of his way to cause trouble, and enjoys seeing people fail repeatedly. Max is much more mature than his fellow campers, but uses it to an advantage. He's also very intelligent.
