Max

Max is an architectural student and artist. He worked for a week on a drawing of St. Louis Cathedral for his summer final.

Background
Max was a young man in his early twenties, brown-haired, lean, and wearing cut-off jeans and a T-shirt that bore a Frank Lloyd Wright house on it.

He had been working on the drawing of the cathedral for a week, and was supposed to turn it in the following day as part of his summer final. While working on it the wind carried it off his easel. It flew into Gabriel's chest, before he can grab it the wind carries it further behind a fence.

Out of gratitude, he does a job for Gabriel, to reconstruct a pattern out of seven parts (being photographs taken in the Voodoo Murders).

The job took him longer than he thought, and he had a weird feeling of being watched while working on it. The other day he was back in Jackson Square, now working on the Pontalba. He was glad to give the reconstructed pattern and get rid of it.

Behind the scenes
Max is a minor character that appears in the game as the Technical Artist, and given a name in the novel. There are a few differences between the novel and the game's character.

He appears as the Artist in the 20th Anniversary Edition.
