I think Maximus is complicated.

He wants to be a "hero" except the specific type of hero that he wants to be is a Brotherhood of Steel Knight which is...problematic for many reasons.

On top of that, he's not only socially stunted due to his upbringing, but he also doesn't get respect from his peers either (likely because he was adopted into the BoS, instead of being born into it). He basically has a massive chip on his shoulder which causes him to do some borderline sociopathic shit to earn the Brotherhood's favor.

But he does seem to be more disillusioned by the BoS by the end, so that should hopefully mellow him out. Also, something about the fact that he always manages to fail upwards is weirdly endearing. He clearly has no idea what he's doing, but bless his heart he's trying lol.
