-Immediately after he attended the "Joe Kubert School" of comic books and cartooning for two years. While attending this "school" Maximo also frequently played an online game called Ragnarok Online; some may have even considered him addicted. He played a stalker, and was often known for running from fights. One time Maximo even asked his guild leader for a GR and was denied; a recording of this is easily found on youtube by searching for Maximo Oscuro, his character's name.
