Maximillien de Chalons

Maximillien de Chalons is a spirit warrior and follower of Justice. He is a member (?) of the Foggy Bottom Raven Band.

Family
Maximillien is the youngest son of Comte Donatien de Chalons of Val Firmin and Comtesse Eloise Dumont. He grew up in Orlais, with his older siblings, Sylvienne and Armonde. He is also a distant cousin of Grand Duke Gaspard de Chalons.

History
In 9:30 Dragon, Maximillien was betrothed to marry Lady Leonor de la Glace. He attempted to refuse the arrangement, to no avail. But suddenly, Leonor fell deathly ill--as did his brother Armonde. With help from his friend Embria, Max discovered that they were infected with Blight, via a blighted ring. He tracked down the source of the ring, to find it had been part of a treasure haul recovered from a lost dwarven Thaig.

Max secured help from the Grey Wardens of Montsimmard, who performed the Joining ritual for Leonor and Armonde as a last attempt to save their lives. While the Joining worked for Leonor, it failed for Armonde, who succumbed to the Blight.

Maximillien then aided the Grey Warden effort to contain the Blight, by retrieving an ancient elven artifact that is able to create an impermeable magical dome for 1000 years, which would allow the Grey Wardens to block off one exit from the Deep Roads, allowing the Wardens to stem the tide of darkspawn long enough to figure out another plan. The device was activated and now that entrance to the Deep Roads is sealed away for a thousand years... along with a large part of the Kocari Wilds.

Maximillien went through with his marriage to Leonor, who immediately had to leave marital life to fulfill her duties to the Grey Wardens. They remain friends, but have lived apart for the entirety of their marriage. After his dealings with the Grey Wardens, Max moved to Antiva City, where he bought a villa near the Theatre District.
