Maximillian

Maximillian Von Klein is a returning character and one of four playable evil geniuses in Evil Genius 2.

Description
He boasts a strong set of balanced features and abilities that make it ideal for first-time players of the Evil Genius series. This leads to him often referred to as the 'easiest' character to play.

The character is styled after and an obvious parody of the popular character Ernst Stavro Blofeld from the James Bond series of novels and films.

Abilities
'''Work Harder! —' Orders minions to prioritise jobs in Maximillian's vicinity.''

'''Train Faster! —' Instantly completes any minion training near Maximillian.''

Large Work Force — ''Max knows when to rely on overwhelming numbers, and when to get a specialist to do the job. Max can earn gold more reliably than anyone else and starts with additional minions.'' (Passive Ability)

Doomsday Device
The doomsday device for Maximillian is a device dubbed 'M.I.D.A.S.'. It works by turning surfaces which it is fired on into solid gold and in turn retrieved by his minions and added into your gold reserves. The device is used and manufactured in three separate stages and can be used multiple times before the games completion.

Once fired, the M.I.D.A.S doomsday device also has the potential to turn multiple of Maximillian's minions into solid gold statutes, these can either be placed on display or sold for 1000 gold each. However, be weary that the statues do have a significant amount of 'heat' attached to them. Due to this, they cannot be placed inside any cover operation and will arouse suspicion in nearby investigators.
