Maximilian "Max" Wagner is a main character in the series Finding Carter. He is the ex-boyfriend and best friend of Carter Wilson, and the current boyfriend of Taylor Wilson.

Biography[]

Childhood[]

Max witnessed his father abuse his mother with a knife when he was a child. As a result, his father was imprisoned, resulting in his mother raising him herself. Since Carter is a childhood friend, Max also grew up around Lori, who treats him like her own son.

Adulthood[]

Apprehension[]

Max is currently in jail for murdering Jared.[1]

Personality[]

Max is laid-back and friendly; he is loyal to the people he cares about. Though David described Max as "a stoner with a slow tongue" in his book, Max is well-educated to a degree and reveals to the Wilson family he knows a few random facts; evolution and the carbon cycle are two of his favorite topics.

Though he was shot by Crash, Max forgave him quickly, much to the dismay of Taylor. Max explains to Taylor that he believes people can change for the better and that holding grudges is not his strong suit nor something Max likes to do. Max aims for and prefers independence, though he cannot do his own laundry well, and has a green thumb.

Physical appearance[]

Max is tall. He has wavy, shoulder-length light brown hair, and blue eyes. He has a tattoo on high right fore-arm of a Chinese symbol.
