Max Capricorn owned the Titanic. He was a cyborg (though only his head was still recognisably humaniod). He sabotaged Titanic's voyage so he could get revenge on his company for discriminating against him because he was a cyborg. He used the Hosts to sabotage 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. He would then retire.
His plan was foiled by Astrid Peth who used a forklift to lift his entire cybernetic casing and him over the side of one ot the Titanic's platforms. Both Max and Astrid tumbled down into the flaming engines far below. (DW: Voyage of the Damned)
