Biography

Adopted

His parent, presumed to be his mother, abandoned him on the steps of the Shadowhunter Academy early in 2010. Found by the students, Simon Lewis decided to call Magnus for help. He and Alec agreed to take care of the matter, not wanting to leave the child at the mercy of the Clave.

While caring for him in their suite at the Academy, Alec grew attached to the child. Soon, his family arrived under the belief that they would keep the child and raise him as their own. Maryse and Isabelle were quick to suggest the name «Max Lightwood», after the child of their family who passed over two years prior, which Alec liked and had considered as well, while Robert recommended Michael, after his dear friend.

After a conversation, Magnus and Alec agreed to officially adopt the child as their own and name him Max, even giving him the Shadowhunter name Lightwood with urging from the family. [1] [4]

As a baby warlock, Max was not in total control of his powers and would accidentally used his magic often. At the age of one, he seemingly had an affinity with anti-gravity spells—using them to float in the air or to crawl up walls and ceilings. Magnus would typically cast his own spells to undo Max’s magic but eventually they let him do so till he got bored, trusting that he wouldn’t get hurt. His grandmother, Maryse, initially struggled with these actions when she was entrusted to babysit while Magnus and Alec were in Shanghai for a few days, trying to get him off the high ceilings of the New York Institute with a spear. Upon their return, Maryse had an injured arm and Kadir Safar had two black eyes; which they claim were unrelated to Max. [5]

Childhood

Two years later, Max still happily lived with his adoptive parents and extended family, [6] who welcomed him and treated him with love. In 2012, his parents adopted an orphaned Shadowhunter child named Rafael, and the boy became Max’s elder, adoptive brother. [2] Max immediately loved Rafe and was excited to train with him. It was decided by their parents that Max could train as a Shadowhunter, using his magic to make up for Shadowhunter attributes.

Later that same year, the family went to the London Institute to help the Blackthorns. While there, the siblings became friends with the youngest, Tavvy, who later traveled back to Idris with their family. [7]

They soon attended Livvy and Robert’s funerals, where Rafe and Max tried to console Tavvy for the loss of his sister. When the bodies were set on fire, the siblings held each other’s hands as they stood with their family.

Once Magnus started being even sicker due to the illness affecting all warlocks, Max and Rafe were sent back to New York to be looked after by Simon and Isabelle, where Alec checked on them daily to make sure Max wasn’t getting sick as well. Fortunately, he was not very affected by the illness and seemed to be okay.

While the rest of their family were fighting in the battle that broke out against The Cohort and Oban’s Unseelie army a few days later, the siblings, Tavvy and Dru were watched over in Alicante by Maryse.

In October that year, around three weeks after Alec’s appointment as Consul, their family, friends and loved ones gathered at the beach by the Los Angeles Institute at what was made out to Magnus to simply be a party. However, it was actually the set for Alec’s proposal, which Magnus accepted, and the wedding ceremony was held there that night. [8]

Some months later, at the cherry blossom festival with his family, Max encountered Janus hiding behind a tree watching his family. Mistaking him for his uncle, Max asked if he was playing hide-and-seek and then hugged him, assuring him he wouldn’t tell where he was hiding. Max then ran off to rejoin his family before he could notice the knife Janus was holding. [9]

Biography

Early life

Months before his birth, his father was having an affair with Annamarie Highsmith and was just about to leave Maryse and the children when he found out that Maryse was pregnant with him. [2] Finding out that they were going to have another child made Robert decide to stay and stop his affair.

Being the youngest in the family, Max had always been close to his older siblings, Isabelle and Alec Lightwood, and is even attached to his adoptive brother, Jace. [3] When Jace first came to live with his family, Max was in awe of him and immediately went to hug his leg and pronounced his love for «Jonathing», saying he could sleep in his room. [4]

Around the time Clary Fray met the Shadowhunters of the New York Institute, Max was with his parents at Alicante for official Clave business. [5] Eventually, Max and his parents returned to New York. He met and was quickly befriended by Clary, who taught him to read the manga he had bought from the airport, much to his delight. [3]

Alicante

A while after their brief return to New York, the Lightwoods traveled back to Idris, to discuss Valentine’s return with the Clave, and stayed with the Penhallows.

One night, merely days into their stay at Idris, Max, who was supposed to be in bed, saw someone scaling the demon towers that hold up the wards that protect Idris. When Max told the others, they merely dismiss his claims, simply believing it to be a figment of his imagination, as they had other things to worry about.

When the demons attacked the city, Max stayed at the Penhallows’ with Izzy while the others left to defend the city. Sebastian went to the house and hit Max with a hammer on the back of his head, with the intent to kill him for the chance that he knew of his true nature after seeing him climb the demon towers, [6] and later tried to do the same with Isabelle when she found them. Though she survived the blow and was only knocked out, Max died instantly, holding the toy soldier Jace had given him. His parents later came home and found them. He and Isabelle were brought back with them to the Accords Hall, where the family mourned for him. [7]

Postmortem

Max’s death had a huge impact on those within his family. Alec was able to largely keep things together, holding out for the others’ sake. On the other hand, Isabelle withdrew completely from the outside world for a short time, blaming her brother’s death on herself after not believing him when he told them he had seen someone climbing the demon towers. Immersed in self-loathing, she shut out the rest of her family and stayed alone in her room in Alicante, not even attending her brother’s funeral. Eventually, she allowed Simon in, and he was able to comfort her to an extent. Following this, Isabelle returned to normal life as best as possible, later finding Sebastian and aiding Jace in killing him.

Six weeks after his death, Maryse was still coping alone in the Institute, since Robert was still in Idris. His death caused the rift between his parents to worsen, with Robert even taking the Inquisitor position. Max’s death was perhaps to an extent the cause of their eventual separation, Isabelle even going so far as to accuse her father of being glad of Max’s death, having stayed with Maryse following an affair he had mainly because of her pregnancy with Max. [8]

Jace later saw Max in a dream induced by Lilith. [9] On a journey to Edom, Isabelle, Alec, and Jace had hallucinations of Max while bypassing a demon which fed on dreams. While Max was simply present at a victory banquet held for Alec, in Isabelle’s dream, set in 2013, Max was still a boy, stuck at nine years old. The realization that the image of Max was wrong broke the illusion. In Jace’s hallucination, Max was stuck in a cage with the others while Jace and Sebastian both sat on thrones, ruling the world together. [8]

Personality and traits

Young as he was, Max had always disliked being reminded that he was not yet of age. He hated being overlooked or left behind during matters for the adults and that he cannot engage in the conversations all his family members discuss with one another.

According to Jace, he could sleep through just about anything and, «like a cat», could sleep anywhere.

Max was an avid reader; he was particularly fond of folk and fairy tales. He related to these tales of dark magic and beasts because he watched his family face danger every day. [10]

Max once bought a Naruto manga and had taken an interest in them ever since Clary taught him how to correctly read it. He also seemed to not like it when certain other people touch his things, an example of this is when «Sebastian Verlac» read his copy of the manga ‘Angel Sanctuary’. Before Max died, Clary had promised to bring him to Comiz World.

Physical description

Max was a boy considered small for his age, appearing to be around seven though he was nine. He wore over-sized glasses that reminded Clary of Simon at that age, and had brown hair and gray eyes. [7] [3]

Содержание

Описание [ править | править код ]

Что случится, когда Магнус Бейн принесет малыша домой к своему парню Алеку Лайтвуду?

После того, как бросили малыша-мага на ступеньках Академии, Магнус спасает ребенка и приносит его к своему парню, Алеку.

Саймон, как и остальные из Академии, удивлен, когда малыш-маг с темно-синей кожей найден на ступенях Академии. Они отдали ребенка приглашенному лектору, Магнусу Бейну, который должен принести ребенка домой. временно, конечно. его мужчине! [1]

Plot [ править | править код ]

Магнус Бейн прибывает в Академию Сумеречных Охотников, чтобы прочитать лекцию, и исследует это место в поисках Алека. По пути он встречается и игриво заигрывает с Джули Бэволь, которая немного влюбляется в него.

Саймон Льюис отправляется на тренировку стрельбы из лука со своими друзьями и обнаруживает брошенного малыша с синей кожей мага на ступеньках Академии. Оставив ребенка со своими друзьями-паникерами, Саймон бежит за Магнусом, который забирает ребенка у Джорджа; он читает записку, найденную с ребенком, и определяет, что это мальчик. Декан Пенхаллоу прибывает с Катариной Лосс, и Алек проталкивается сквозь растущую толпу, чтобы быть с Магнусом.

Ведутся споры о том, стоит ли звонить Клэйву, но Магнус отказывается оставлять ребенка с ними и утверждает, что он и Алек позаботятся об нем. Саймон испытывает облегчение.

Несколько часов спустя, когда ребенок заснул, Магнус выходит на улицу, чтобы подышать воздухом, и встречает Лили Чен, которая требует увидеть Алека. Магнус отводит ее в Академию и находит в комнате всю семью Лайтвудов, включая Клэри.

Лили взывает к Алеку по его фамилии, и Роберт Лайтвуд ошибочно думает что позвали именно его, пока Лили грубо не отмахивается от него, и не объясняет Алеку, что один из ее вампиров, Элиотт укусил примитивного под влиянием фэйри фруктов и был снят в состоянии алкогольного опьянения. Алек заверяет ее, что проблема будет решена, и она уходит, поздоровавшись с ребенком.

Лайтвуды начинают обсуждать имена для ребенка и как обезопасить квартиру для детей, и Магнус понимает, что они думают, что он и Алек оставят ребенка. Они предлагают Макс Лайтвуд в качестве имени.

Во время ужина со своими однокурсниками Джули и Беатриз засыпают Саймона вопросами о Магнусе, а он читает им лекции о том, как его смущает интерес к его «знаменитым» друзьям. Джули и Беатриз странно реагируют и покидают столовую, и Саймон понимает, что он им обоим нравится. Он размышляет, как их мягко отвергнуть, но его мысли прерываются появлением Изабель, которую он встречает поцелуем.

После того, как все уходят, Магнус и Алек обсуждают о том чтобы оставить ребенка; Алек рассказывает, что хочет оставить его из-за своего брата Макса, кто так и не вырос на его глазах. Магнус соглашается сохранить ребенка, но когда Алек упоминает о браке, Магнус мягко отказывается и вместо этого обещает жениться на нем только после того, как Сумеречным Охотникам и существам Нижнего Мира разрешат пожениться в традиционных церемониях Сумеречных Охотников.

Позже Магнус и Катарина прогуливаются до старой комнаты Рагнора Фелла, где сейчас спала Катарина. Она показывает Магнусу старое письмо, написанное Рагнору погибшим Рафаэлем Сантьяго, которое Рагнор так и не смог прочесть, и они вспоминают о тех, кого потеряли, удивляясь изменениям, которые Саймон смог привнести между элитами и отбросами в Академии.

Саймон говорит с Алеком об их дружбе, поскольку Саймон считает, что Алек не любит его; Алек объясняет, что он вел себя спокойно вокруг Саймона, потому что Саймон спас Магнуса от Асмодеуса вместо него, а затем потерял память, прежде чем Алек смог поблагодарить его, и он не знал, что с этим делать. Они подтверждают свою дружбу.

Магнус возвращается в свою комнату, приняв решение относительно ребенка, и объявляет, что они назовут его Максом Лайтвудом, к всеобщему удовольствию. Пока они спорят по вторым именам, Магнус переходит в другую комнату и целует сына, пробормотав ему заверения, что они все в этом вместе.
