Maximilian Fairfax

Maximilian Fairfax is the tycoon at the helm of Fairfax Industries, the conglomerate that dominates the industrial-occult complex. He was the first to realize that the spirit—the energy released by the Maelström—could be refined, bottled, and sold on a massive scale.

Behind the respectable facade of this captain of industry lies a mind that views people as assets. Fairfax’s most valuable programs are not machines but living creations, and his company will stop at nothing—including experimentation—to maintain its lead.

Fairfax embodies the cold, corporate face of the occult in Deadlock: while other factions rely on fear or magic, Fairfax relies on capital, contracts, and industrial-scale operations. Its influence far exceeds that of a mere corporation.
