Biography
In the past while the humans are illegally hunting elephants, King Eli Phant was hit by a bullet and was knocked down, but survived. Maximus is jealous of him and wanted to steal his leader's position. So he used out of the hunt to knock him out and get him captured without the knowledge of other elephants. After Eli's possible death, his wife Queen Savannah remained pregnant without her husband.

Several months later, another hunting season begins in the jungle. Savannah was about to give birth to her cubs when she met the lion Leo. Leo fled with Savannah's cubs when the hunters started a fire in the jungle. After a long time, Maximus started to pursue Leo to bring Savannah's cubs back and marry with her.

At the end of the journey, Leo says goodbye to his friends and decides to return the cubs back to Savannah, however Maximus finds him and decided to take and return the cubs on his own to win all the credit. But on the way back, Maximus abuse the cubs and threatens to kill them. Leo tries to stop him and Uncle Lope appears to help him. But when Savannah appears, Maximus lied that Leo wanted to devour their cubs and tries to kill him, but ends up hitting Uncle Lope who almost dies but survived.

Leo decides to go after them and stop the wedding, revealing to Savannah and the other elephants that it was Maximus who was the cause of Eli's disappearance and wanted to marry her so he can become King. Maximus becomes enraged and battles Leo, until he was caught in a trap and ends up being captured by hunters and gets taken away, finally defeating the villainous elephant. He was never heard from again. It is possible that he is now at a zoo.
