Maximus

Maximus is a rookie soldier who grew up above ground but, like Lucy, was also raised in a cloistered "family" of sorts: the Brotherhood of Steel. However, unlike Lucy, he has a cynical sense of self-preservation and does not always act honorably.A former citizen of the New California Republic, the boy who would become Maximus had the misfortune of living in Shady Sands. The Republic's capital was destroyed some time after the Second Battle of Hoover Dam with a nuclear weapon. Although he was on the edge of the crater, he survived inside a milk vending machine. After leaving his hideout, he saw the still-burning crater, charred bodies of other NCR citizens, before coming face to face with an armed Brotherhood soldier in power armor. The memory was seared into his mind, defining the trajectory of his life.[3][4]Due to his traumatic childhood and hard life in the Brotherhood, some of these gaps have left him unaccustomed to creature comforts, borderline unaware that humans can still enjoy a good quality of life even in the post-apocalypse.[11] The biggest gap in his experience is tied to sex. The Brotherhood does not have a sexual education curriculum, and so Maximus is not entirely familiar with the concept of intercourse
