Maxime Gorm (died 2017) was a former member of the Assassin Brotherhood who joined the Templar Order after being brainwashed by Warren Vidic and became Daniel Cross' war dog during the Great Purge. Gorm was the son of Julia Gorm, a rogue Assassin and former member of Boris Pash's Bloodstone Unit active during the Vietnam War.
In 2017, an amnesiac Maxime was experimented on by Thomas and Alice Adler, who used an Animus to have him explore the genetic memories of his grandfather, the British Assassin Eddie Gorm.
Biography[]
Maxime was born the son of Julia Gorm, an Assassin who was a member of Boris Pash's Bloodstone Unit during the Vietnam War. Raised an Assassin, Maxime was later kidnapped by Warren Vidic, the Director of the Animus Project at Abstergo Industries and a member of the Templars. Maxime was brainwashed and, like Daniel Cross, became a Templar agent. By 2000, he became a high ranking Templar commander, responsible for carrying out attacks on Assassin facilities. On 6 December, Maxime led the Templars on an attack on an Assassin training camp in Kyushu, Japan. This attack saw the killing of numerous Assassins, including the camp's head, Yuri.[1]
Kidnapped[]
Sometime later, Maxime was stationed at the Abstergo Foundation Rehabilitation Center in Madrid, Spain, working alongside scientists Alice and Thomas Adler. After the destruction of the facility in 2016 by Callum Lynch,[2] Maxime was later kidnapped by the Adler's,[1] who held him captive in their home in Switzerland and subjected him to Animus experimentation to have him explore the memories of his grandfather, Eddie Gorm.[3] Despite the Adler's best attempts, Maxime relived all of Eddie's life but with no success on the Apple of Eden's location.[4]
Luckily, Maxime was left alone but distraught over his true identity, believing himself to be Eddie. He soon escaped his restraints and went upstairs to the living room. There, he introduced himself to Elisa Adler and her doctor, Florent Carpentier. However, the revelation turned tense and messy once Carpentier revealed himself to be Assassin and killed Thomas and Alice in the process. Maxime was soon attacked by Florent, who was really Tomo Sakawaga, Yuri's son, but he subdued Tomo with a knife to his right eye. Quickly, he and Elisa left the home and hid from the incoming Assassins.[4][1]
Captured Again[]
Maxime and Elisa made their way to Tomo's car and escaped the Assassins' grasp. However, Maxime was held hostage by a mind-controlled Elisa, who held a gun on him. Driving to a helicopter pad in the Swiss Alps, a kidnapped Maxime was later managed off to Stanislas, who brought him and Elisa aboard Nathalie Chapman's helicopter. Inside, Maxime was reminded of his past and his subsequent brainwashing as Chapman wanted to have him and Elisa brought her base in the Alps. Yet, Maxime was given an ultimatum by Chapman, which was to relive his mother's memories in exchange to revive his own. Thus, he agreed.[5]
Death[]
After completing the task, Maxime was taken and restrained by Stanislas and four guards to his room. While he was being taken to his room, Maxime and his guards stopped once Elisa wanted to speak with him alone. Immediately, Stanislas and the guards raise their guns at her as Maxime waited. However, due to a blindspot, all the guards and Maxime are quickly killed by a hidden Tomo.[5]
