What do you get when you have a mother driven to insanity by loss after loss, and a father so distant that he barely acknowledges your existence? You get Sterling Max. An only child after many, many attempts. His mother lost count of how many children she lost from her womb and his father gave up hopes of ever having a reliable heir ‘But why would he do that?’ I hear you ask, well Sterling had been a terribly sick child in his youth. Having been legally pronounced dead twice in his life, it’s not wonder that his mother coddles him to the point that rumours have spread that the pair are also intimate. Yes, Sterling Max and his mother, Blanche Max, have been rumoured to be lovers. Is it true? I’m not telling, but I dare you to ask him.

A little … unhinged, Sterling has never shied away from taking what he wants, and with his mother’s ever watchful eye on him, she always guaranteed that littler Sterling got exactly what he wanted and he’s been used to that ever since.

Taught by the very best tutors that money could afford, no expense was spared in Sterling’s education. Private tutors taught him everything that he knows. He attended Hogwarts when the time came and he was sorted into Slytherin but he was already years ahead of his peers. He was a snob and he was wicked with a wand, he would torment girls and boys alike, he would threaten whoever crossed him and he turned his nose up at the lesser bloods.

During his second year of Hogwarts, Sterling was made Seeker of the Slytherin quidditch team. Slytherin Seeker for three years in a row would have been a great source of pride for anyone, but Sterling was pissed that he hadn’t been made Captain. He was clearly the best on the team with mounds of strategies and years of training with former Quidditch champions, but no, he was overlooked, and what was more, he was overlooked for all the clubs.

Things came to blow in his fifth year when he came head to head with Dexter Sharpe, the newly chosen Quidditch Captain for the Slytherin team. Sterling was not picked for the team and was also kicked off of every other team and out of every other activity of which he was a part of. He was furious and attacked his head of house. It didn’t end well and he was expelled. He was taught by tutors for the remainder of his educational years, sitting his final NEWT exams a year earlier than his former school peers.

After his own little graduation, Sterling went on and got a job playing for the Montrose Magpies quidditch team. He was their seeker and he won them several matches. He played with the team for five years before he “retired” due to a difference of opinion. They felt he shouldn’t be getting so many fouls and causing the team so many penalties, and he felt he should have been captain after five years. His contract was never renewed and no other team wanted him and so he retired. It was a blessing in disguise as he found himself a way into the Ministry of Magic in the Department of Magical Games and Sports. He worked within the British and Irish Quidditch League and then he moved to the International Quidditch League. After three years of flawless work, Sterling was promoted yet again to the Department Head, focusing more of the department’s funds to quidditch, leaving the other clubs to take cuts, but it paid off. Quidditch started raking in more and more galleons and Sterling received a well deserved pay rise. Sterling was smug and proud of being such a young head of a department at only 27 years of age, but he wasn’t content with staying in a position with nothing above him, he wanted a better position, and he had his eye on the Minister position, but how could he possibly get that?

Sterling studied hard with private tutors once more until he qualified as a lawyer. He much preferred this line of work and he enjoyed the challenges. He wasn’t so happy to lose, but thankfully that never happened often and he would save his temper for his private time. A man approached him during some of his private time and invited him to join the ranks of Lord Voldemort. He had been a supporter and now he was becoming a fully fledged Death Eater. 30 years old and life was going well.

At 34 years of age Sterling applied to be in the wizangamot. He missed out on a great opportunity and his rage got the better of him, thankfully he was home when he received the news, but unfortunately for his mothers guests they had to flee the family home. It took his mother a while to calm his rage but he eventually took off and took out his aggression on some unsuspecting muggles. It only took another two years for another position to open up and this time Sterling made it. He has comfortably been judging people for the last two years and feels he has found a role that perfectly suits him.
