Zealous and humourless, Maxil was a Time Lord commander of Gallifreyan Chancellery Guard and castellan of the High Council.

Biography

Like all Time Lords, Maxil was taken from his family at the age of eight for the selection process in the Drylands. Staring into the Untempered Schism as part of a Time Lord initiation rite, Maxil was inspired by what he saw in the Schism. (PROSE: A Brief History of Time Lords)

Maxil became Commander of the Chancellery Guard. During this time, he stunned the Fifth Doctor with a staser blast and confined him in a cell under the Capitol to await the judgement of President Borusa and the High Council. He also planted a listening device in the Doctor's TARDIS on the orders of Castellan Jerricho. (TV: Arc of Infinity)

Promoted to Castellan, Maxil regularly trained Castellan Wynter. (AUDIO: Lies) Inquisitor Prime Darkel contacted him to escort her into the Vaults so that she could speak with her advisor (AUDIO: Imperiatrix) and, during the Gallifreyan Civil War, he sided with Pandora over Romana. Afterwards, he was demoted to Commander. (AUDIO: Appropriation)

After the Fifth Doctor's regeneration, his successor took on Maxil's appearance. (TV: The Caves of Androzani) The Sixth Doctor once mentioned the resemblance to Peri Brown. (AUDIO: Prime Winner)
