Maximillian Seerdon was an officer in the Galactic Empire, specifically a commander within the Intelligence Division of the Imperial Security Bureau. His father, Moff Kohl Seerdon, used his influence to secure Maximillian's prominent role.
Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Seerdon gathered numerous reports detailing potential dangers to the Galactic Empire, intending to show them to Emperor Palpatine. He consulted with Grand Vizier Sate Pestage, who then presented the reports to the Emperor himself.
Palpatine, being impressed by Seerdon's discoveries, rewarded him with a personal vacation residence on a luxurious world in the Deep Core, possibly Byss.
Ryan Kaufman chose the name Maximillian for the character based on his own son's name, Max.
