Mad Max

Mad Max (or M.A.D. Max or the Mad Tribune) is the nickname given to Maximus Aurelius Decimus, the Tribune of the Plebs cast from the Tarpeian Rock in the first round of S.P.Q.R.

Mad Max went crazy with power upon becoming Pompeius Magnus' Master of the Horse, distributing land at a steep discount to literally everyone and initiating hated land reform which made him an enemy of literally everyone in the Republic.

He then tried to blackmail the Optimates into granting him a Propraetorship, and when this failed, claimed they attempted to bribe him. After which, he led a mob of Plebs and Proles to seize the Roman granaries, and attempt to seize the treasury.

He was killed by Vibus Junius Eclectus (the Iron Centurion), who violated his sacrosanctity on the floor of the Senate and dragged him to be thrown off the cliff.

Mad Max's death ultimately led to the establishment of a permanent dictatorship under Gaius Julius Caesar.
