Maxwell Almec

Maxwell Jay Almec was a human biomancer who was responsible for the creation of the supernaturally charged pathogen Necora. In life, he was noted as being relatively sane and extremely intelligent during his younger years, but was slowly driven mad by his own work later in life. He was obsessed with super-soldiers, and worked closely with Dalton Wood to try and achieve this goal.

Dalton used his research into the Primordial Aspects to create Necora with Maxwell. Their first experiment, a slave super-soldier, wasn't a full success. Maxwell instead intended to use his son, against his will, as the 'complete' Necora super-weapon. He succeeded, though it cost him his sanity, his partnership with Dalton, his son's future and his life.

Maxwell's power and the horrific wave of death he unleashed on Drakoria earned him the name 'Blackwake'. In an attempt to spread Necora around the world, he created the Black Tomes and made plans to ship them to various powerful families and watch them self-destruct. After being pursued by Archae, a former test subject of his, he was eventually killed by Archae's son Mylo at Brightstone Cove.
