Characterisation
Bell based the character of Max on a person who helped raise him in New Zealand. He said "Max is based on a man whom I loved, but who gave me a very hard time". The head of the Ramsay family, Max has been described as being "almost the father figure of Neighbours" in the early days. He was always proud that Ramsay Street was named after his grandfather. He was also described as being "essentially a nice guy" who can be hard-headed, unmoving and "domineering at times". Max survives by dominating situations and he approves of those who comply.
