Max Capricorn owned the spaceship known as the Titanic.

Biography

Max Capricorn was a cyborg (though only his head was still recognisably humanoid). He sabotaged Titanic's voyage so he could get revenge on his company for discriminating against him due to his cyborg status. He used the Hosts to damage the Titanic and kill the crew, leaving no witnesses. He planned to turn the Titanic into a giant bomb heading for Earth. When the board members of his company were accused of mass murder they would be removed, after which he would then retire.

His plan was foiled by Astrid Peth who used a forklift to lift his entire cybernetic casing and throw him over the side of one of the Titanic's platforms. During the struggle, Max's wheels cut off the brakes of the forklift. Both Max and Astrid tumbled down into the flaming engines far below. (DW: Voyage of the Damned)

Behind the Scenes

Originally it was intended that Max Capricorn should have two milky-white eyes, but in the 'Voyage of the Damned' podcast commentary (with Russell T Davies, Phil Collinson and Julie Gardner) it was revealed that George Costigan (who played Max Capricorn) could not see with both 'cateract-lenses', therefore one was taken out and it was then considered more effective.
