Max Shore

"Do tell mister Holmes"

- Max Shore to Jared Shore as Jared begins to unveil his plan.

Max Shore is the younger of the two Shore brothers, being fourteen years old. Max, along with his older brother Jared, run the Group, Max having taken on a more descisive role, where Jared takes on a more cautious and corrective role. Max's primary weapons of choice are his hunting rifle and his Desert Eagle pistol, while his secondary weapon is his Yukon X-large Bowie knife. While he is most of the brawn of the duo, he is still the primary leader figure. He is not as mentally stable as his brother, and the effect displayed throughout the course of the Brothers in Arms series reveals how the zombie apocalypse affected him negatively.

Max is the son of Andrew and Maria Shore, and the younger brother of Jared Shore.



Max is, as of the first book, in a romantic relationship with Jessica Leith.

Physical Description
Max is described as having curly, dirty-blond hair. He is described as being very tall for his age, about 5'8", and 130 pounds, like his older brother. He has green eyes. He is 14 years old.



Personal Life
Until the events of the first book, Max and Jared lived with their family in Toronto, Ontario. Him and his older brother left Toronto in search of their parents in New York.

Zombie Apocalypse
Until the events of the first book, Max and Jared remained in their house in Toronto throughout the apocalypse. They used their house as a base and fortress, keeping it relatively safe of zombies. When Max and Jared first encountered Judd Bratton, Max made a gradual connection with him, as they were both survivours of similar age. Max and Judd soon became somewhat friendly, going on missions together with relative ease. It seems that Bratton's death saddened Max, revealing Max did care for Judd.

When the brothers and Bratton arrived in Detroit and met Ryan Callahan and Jessica Leith for the first time, Max seemed to take an instant disliking to Jessica, despite his brother's fast-born relationship with Callahan. It wasn't until Max would later face a near-death experience with Jessica, where he reveals to her that he does have feelings for her, and the two first began a highly influential relationship.

Personality
Max is brash yet fearless. He seems to leap into situations without looking, but this is compensated with an enthusaism difficult to come by elsewhere in the apocalypse.

Although Max is sometimes bubbly, he does have a much darker, more troubled side to him. Max is deeply affected by the apocalypse, to the point where he is somewhat unstable. Max also may be shy, due to his behaviour towards Jessica at their first meeting.

As stated above, the zombie apocalypse is shown to have affected Max negatively.
