Max
Portrayed by Thomas Kretschmann
Day 2

Max is a fictional character from the TV series 24. He is the one of the villains in Season 2 & 24: The Game.

Max was a German arms dealer with terrorist clients. When a deal went sour after the interference of American authorities, Max's clients retaliated by killing his family right in front of his eyes. Since he is also an oil businessman, and he's hungry for revenge against the United States, Max was the mastermind of a plot to start a war between the United States and three unnamed Middle Eastern nations, in an attempt to drive up oil prices. His accomplices in this scheme were Peter Kingsley and Alexander Trepkos. To this end, Max allowed the terrorist organization known as Second Wave, lead by Islamic terrorist Syed Ali, to acquire a nuclear warhead. Kingsley then fabricated recordings that connected the three countries to Ali. This failed, as Jack Bauer foiled the plot, and Kingsley was killed but Max and Trepkos managed to conceal their involvement.

With the failure of the nuclear threat, Max decided to start the war another way. Max hired Mandy to infect President Palmer with a biological agent.

Max then hired terrorist Peter Madsen to target acting President Jim Prescott. His carefully laid plans eventually fall apart, when he kidnaps Kate Warner in an attempt to blackmail her father into helping him smuggle nuclear weapons out of the country. In the final shootout on his yacht Max tried to escape in a speedboat with Kate as his hostage, but he is found and shot to death by Jack.
