The day you inherited the title of Vampire Hunter... I felt as if a wall had been erected between us... and for that reason I set out on my expedition. I wanted to be better than you and relieve you of your fate.
~ Maxim Kischine to Juste Belmont

Background

After Dracula’s second defeat at the hands of Simon Belmont in 1698, the people viewed him as a hero and began gathering around him. Soon enough, a peaceful village formed around the Belmont household. Nearly 30 years passed and the village became home to the powerful Kischine Clan, and the newest member of the clan, Maxim Kischine. Maxim grew up as an aspiring vampire hunter, alongside his friends Juste Belmont and Lydie Erlanger.

Juste in particular was the grandson of Simon, and thus viewed as a prodigy. Maxim, wanting to become one of the greats, made himself Juste’s rival. The two eventually competed for who would inherit the Vampire Killer whip, but Juste outclassed Maxim in every competition they had; inheriting the whip over Maxim.

Maxim, frustrated and jealous by Juste’s victory, decided to leave on a training expedition, and Juste had not heard from him in two years; until one day, suddenly, Maxim reappeared in town with wounds all over his body, and told Juste that Lydie had been kidnapped and taken to Dracula’s Castle. Astonished that Dracula’s Castle had risen despite it not having been a century since his previous defeat, Juste rushed over to the castle as fast as he could.

Maxim’s training expedition was actually a journey to find Dracula’s body parts and resurrect him, so that he could prove himself by taking the Dark Lord down. However, Maxim was possessed by Dracula in the process, and stole Lydie himself.

Thus, Maxim had developed two separate personalities; Maxim (his regular self,) and Dark Maxim (his possessed form.) This created two alternate dimensional versions of Dracula’s Castle, Castle A and Castle B, which Juste was forced to traverse. After doing so, and conquering both entire castles, Juste finally confronted Dark Maxim in his chambers. However, during their duel, Maxim noticed his bracelet on Juste’s arm, and regained his mind.

There, it was discovered that the being that possessed Maxim was not Dracula himself, but an unknown Wraith who took over Dracula’s form and powers. After the Dracula Wraith fuses himself with the parts of Dracula’s body, he and Juste have one final duel, where Juste fortunately prevails.

Being taken by Juste, Maxim was able to escape the crumbling castle and slowly came to his senses. Maxim, ashamed by what he had done, apoligzed to Juste and Lydie, promising to put their friendship back on track and return peacefully to the village.

Maxim’s future is entirely unknown, although it is known that his Stellar Sword ends up in the hands of the legendary Eric Lecarde; who himself would then pass it onto the vampire hunter, Jonathan Morris.

Weaknesses

Note

Trivia

  • In the bad ending, Evil Maxim's portrait was utilized when he told Juste that he would have to force him to change his mind (referring to Juste putting Maxim out of his misery), implying that his true persona barely restrained his evil persona enough to yell that out. This was confirmed in the Futabasha Castlevania: Byakuya no Concerto Official Guide, citing that he retained his "true nature" despite already becoming dangerously close to succumbing to his evil self.
  • In Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance, an item known as the War Fatigues strongly resembles Maxim's own coat he wears. This is implied to be the same one or an identical one due to the item's location: it is placed inside the Entrance's castle grounds of Castle B right beside the castle's main gate. This is the exact same spot Maxim was standing on in Castle A at the beginning of the game.
  • Maxim is the only boss in Harmony of Dissonance to not drop a Magic Crystal (if one does not also count Dracula Wraith's first form. However, Dracula Wraith's second form does drop a Magic Crystal).
  • The weapon is called the Stella Sword in Japan. Stella is Latin for "Star".
  • In Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance, the weapon can be hacked in the sub-weapon slot for Juste Belmont and Simon Belmont, though they cannot utilize its attack. If Juste has the star sub-weapon and picks up another sub-weapon, the dropped star visually turns into a High Potion. Collecting this High Potion will make Juste obtain the unusable Star sub-weapon.
    • Reversibly, Maxim can use cheats to pick-up sub-weapons but is unable to utilize them except his own star sub-weapon.

    There was definitely no room for doubt. It is certain that the [castle] exists at the back of the mountains. The church’s greatest vampire hunter, Julius Belmont must be contacted. However, the conversation jumped into the matter of the disappearance of several village children."

    That really is no doubt an obsession.
    The youth had more than 28 holes penetrating his limbs and body. His heart is already starting to fail and he is desperately trying to say something amidst the darkness.
    “Only…… protect…… you……-----“
    When he said those words he must say, the man’s soul already left his body-----becoming one of the floating spirits that wander the halls of the castle.
    However-----
    Fate did not allow it.
    For those people who are involved with the demon castle, even the loneliness of death seemed half hearted-----
    The man’s soul is pierced by a small scythe that flew in from somewhere. That scythe did not exist physically. It was a diabolic blade created by some magic and possessed a strong soul."

    A spectacled vampire hunter confirmed this as his duty.
    In front of him is a [grotesque creature] whose dreadful power can be felt. The creature appears human but the instant he looked at it, all of his body’s cells cried out in terror.
    “The timing is bad, church person.”
    Whilst listening to the words said by the [grotesque creature], the young hunter kept on reminding himself.
    -----I am …… I ought to be a vampire hunter."

Akumajo Dracula: Kabuchi no Tsuisoukyoku "Ever since the Middle Ages, every 100 years, this legendary castle would rise together with its master Count Dracula ----- And whenever it happens, it is said that a clan of vampire hunters will seal it. Several hundred years have passed with battles with the [dark lord] Dracula.
    When suddenly, an end to it all has been foretold. 1999----- Thanks to the power of a clan in Japan, Dracula’s castle was sealed inside a [solar eclipse] to disappear forever.
    However, in this world, there is no such thing as forever. [They] had understood that Dracula’s regeneration cycle ought to have ended. Indeed, people have prepared for this but will it still exist? The castle is the symbol of the chaos within humans and as long as people exist, it will not be completely sealed.
