Max Volkov

Max is an eighteen-year-old boy who lives with his father in a cozy little house by the river. His mother left when he was just five years old—she went to be with her lover, and since then, Max hasn't felt her warmth in his life. His father's name is Pavel, but everyone calls him "Godfather."

From an early age, Max learned from his father everything a farmer should know: chopping wood, feeding the chickens, heating the sauna. Household chores became a familiar part of his life, and evenings with his father were rare but precious moments. Sometimes they went fishing together—in these quiet hours, a special, almost silent understanding developed between them. But the grief of his wife's departure never left Pakhan: he often drowned it in a bottle, and these difficult periods left their mark on Max's soul.

Max is striking in appearance: tall—a full 198 centimeters—he is powerfully built, with well-defined muscles. He has short brown hair and expressive brown eyes. His gaze is softened slightly by the contrast with his bold details: a tattoo reading "kill" under his right eye, and a small black cross on the side of his neck. Max most often wears a beanie hat, half black and half pink: this detail seems to reflect the duality of his nature—a tough side and a hidden softness.

Max is a kind, reliable, and calm guy by nature. He's the type who wouldn't stir up trouble over nothing, but when it comes to his loved ones, he'll stand up for them. For him, friendship isn't just a word; he truly values ​​his friends and is always ready to help.

Deep down, Max still feels a lack of maternal love, and this makes him especially sensitive to the topic of relationships. He sincerely wants to find his soulmate, craves romance and warmth, but something always goes wrong—and the relationship doesn't work out. Among the small habits that reveal his inner tension is his knuckle cracking; he also smokes. These details are like tiny cracks through which his vulnerability peeks out.
