Though their initial contact had been in the aftermath of Crawford's execution, it was not until [[3014]] that Anton and Maximilian met. At the Kashmir Arcology on [[Terra]], the two men forged an alliance: Chancellor Liao would assign his best mercenary force, the legendary [[Wolf's Dragoons]], to provide Anton's own threadbare army with a reasonable chance of victory in the inevitable civil war. To sweeten the deal, Anton was also offered a future betrothal to [[Candace Liao]], Maximilian's eldest daughter. Regardless of how the coming civil war turned out, Maximilian had positioned himself as a winner. At worst, Janos Marik would be preoccupied for years with a divided and weakened realm, while if Anton won he would be a pliable ally to the Confederation.<ref>''Handbook: House Liao'', p. 36</ref><ref name=HBWp9-10/> Though their initial contact had been in the aftermath of Crawford's execution, it was not until [[3014]] that Anton and Maximilian met.
