Hi, I'm Elly. I'm throwing my proverbial hat in the ring (har har) as one of your villains. Insert evil laugh here!

Actually, this guy isn't that much of a villain. His name is Maxim, a character from a wonderful webcomic by Phil and Kaja Foglio named Girl Genius! (girlgeniusonline.com) He's more of a slapstick comedy sort in the webcomic, and he serves the main heroine of the tale. Here, unfortunately, he's been shoehorned into a villain role because well. He's not human.

This doesn't mean he won't give Being Bad the ol' college try, though, because as history has shown, the people he's sworn to serve in the past don't always play on the side of good.
