Biography[]
Maxwell was a CIA agent under the command of Felix Leiter. He, Brad, and a third agent were sent to Circus Circus to keep an eye on Tiffany Case and the diamonds. The three followed Case into the Zambora sideshow and kept close watch over her while the hypnotized beauty in the cage underwent her supposed metamorphosis. However, Tiffany was able to escape when "Zambora", now aparently a wild and dangerous gorilla, was released from her "handler's" influence and managed to break out of her cage. As the "raging beast" charged the audience, Maxwell and his two colleagues attempted to pursue Tiffany through the crowd of panicked viewers, but lost sight of her.
Maxwell later helped James Bond to rescue Willard Whyte.
At the end of the film, he helped Whyte and Felix to attack Ernst Stavro Blofeld's headquarters.
