Keith T. Maxwell

Keith T. Maxwell is the main character in the games of GOF1 and GOF2.

Maxwell in GOF1
In GOF1, Maxwell received an honorable discharge from the Terran Space Fleet and Admiral Smith granted him his own ship, an Icarus Scout Class II. Maxwell was then greeted by Lt. Christine Hammond by the order of Admiral Smith to help him adjust to the life of a mercenary. As time went on, Maxwell and Hammond developed feelings for each other.

As a mercenary, Maxwell picked up jobs wherever he can. He did everything from ferrying passengers, hauling cargo to various other "suicide missions". Eventually his journey landed him right in the middle of a major conspiracy which involved a Vossk, a Terran commander who turned out to be Vlad Borsikov and the newly formed group of pirates.

Christine Hammond was killed by Vlad Borsikov but Maxwell avenged her death in the end.

Maxwell in GOF2
In the year 3589 A.D., a hyperdrive malfunction in the Dareius Asteroid Belt transported Maxwell to a part of space that is unknown to him. Maxwell discovered that he was 35 years in the future in the year 3624 A.D., and plenty has changed. Maxwell finds out the galaxy is on the midst of the Void Threat. He meets Carla Paolini of Deep Science who becomes his love interest. After helping to defeat the Voids, he uncovers the Valkyrie conspiracy. He defeats Carla's evil sister and unlocks several new things in the process.

Several months later, the star in the Ginoya system mysteriously explodes. Maxwell gets pulled in the event as the supernova goes from bad to worse. As he assists in the evacuation efforts and the development of a more permanent solution to the pressing issue, new star systems, weapons, equipment, and ships are unlocked.

Trivia
name is 'Dangerous' as a joke. When Boyle asks what his first middle name is, Keith replies "T." To this day, his middle name is still unknown.
 * In the storyline of GOF2, Maxwell tells Boyle his second middle
 * At the end of the basic GOF2 storyline, Keith allegedly slept with Carla Paolini, which is censored to stop it from getting a M or MA rating.
 * Keith is a drinker- a very heavy one too as explained by him getting very drunk at the end of all three GoF2 storylines.
 * Keith seems to be a good friend of Khador, as evident with Keith saying he will be at any service for him, which Khador finds a gesture of goodwill.
