Maximilian Liao
Sarna News
Maximilian Liao was Chancellor of the Capellan Confederation during its darkest days in the Fourth Succession War. The leader of a nation continually at war with House Davion and the Federated Suns after the dissolution of the Star League, Maximilian Liao almost managed to substitute a mind-wiped double for Prince Hanse Davion of the Federated Suns in 3025. Only ingenuity on the part of Ardan Sortek and the security system on Hanse's BattleMaster allowed Hanse to reclaim his identity and kingdom. Hanse used this act by Maximilian Liao to justify the Fourth Succession War.
Maximilian succumbed to mental instability and eventually died in a mental institution after the war.
He had three children with his wife Jasmine: Candace, Romano, and Tormano.
