Early Years
Little is relatively known about the early years of Maximins life. He was born sometime in the Fall of B1E-36, to the Chief's wife. The only son of an ancient man, whos age is estimated to be older than 55, Maxmin had to learn much in the few years of his life before being Chief himself. The occupied tribal leader didn't have time to be having children, until he realized his rule may not extend if he had no children.
One early event that is known in Maxmin's early years includes one time when they went hunting for bison herds. A cold frost lay on the hills for several days as Max and a group of hunters traveled to the hunting grounds. He later recalled this day as "the coldest day in hell" with his hair frozen to his hat, and bare fingers stiff like hard leather. The group then traveled for another day, and as they finally reached the hunting grounds, they saw herds of animals. Hunting the entire day, taking down bison, deer, and elk, the group took shelter in a cave for the night. But the excitement had only begun, when a giant cave bear revealed out of the shadows. The "Great Bear" as he described it had awoken from its hibernation smelling the hundreds and hundreds of pounds of meat. Maximin generally gets quiet as he retells this part of the story, when: "It leapt fast on its paws, taking three men down at a time. It stood as tall as the cave, ripping men and woman through its jaws. Crunching down on bones, making them sound brittle, like clay." Max and four other men eventually took the bear down, ripping spears and iron swords through its throat. But the damage had been done, with more than a dozen people injured, half of them dead within the night. Max later saw this trip as what monsters could do, if they weren't stopped.
Later throughout his early life, Maximin learned many trades, such as fishing, hunting, and mining. He also learned a vast knowledge of new weaponry, such as the expensive new material that many thought unbreakable; iron.
