'''General Maxwell''' is a career military officer for the [[Nationalists]] of [[Terra]] as well as father to [[Brenda Maxwell]], his only child apparently. He knows Colonel [[Charlie Watts]], and probably is his superior, along with Colonel [[Stone]], whom he calls "Stoney". He has some sort of friendship with President [[Arends]], whom he is forced to investigate later on after Arends began shutting out the [[Precedium|Nationalist Precedium]]. He attempts to bypass the [[Eastern Alliance]] forces of [[Lunar One]] to gather intelligence on the happenings there.  His reconnaissance mission fails and he returns to Terra.
After returning to Terra, he visited his daughter who told him that Charlie (actually [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]]) was also back on Terra. With this knowledge, he would have vital information to report, however [[Brace]] and his officers took "Charlie" away after Brenda contacted them. He chastised her, not that it mattered, as he and Brenda were captured and brought to "Charlie". Apollo tried to convince the three Terrans that he wasn't Charlie Watts, but failed until [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]] rescued them.

Apollo tries to convince the three Terrans that he isn't Charlie Watts, but fails until {{TOS|Starbuck}} rescues them.
General Maxwell, Stone and the [[Warriors]] attempted to get an audience with President Arends, but were unable to do so alone. In front of the entire Presidium, he and, later on, Apollo attempted to convince Arends and the Presidium members that the Nationalists would not agree to the peace treaty. Sure enough, they were right, and as the members of the Presidium fled vainly to shelter from the nuclear weaponry, Maxwell derisively told Arends to frame the treaty because they would all be dead within six minutes.

In front of the entire Precedium, he (and, later on, Apollo) attempts to convince Arends and the Precedium members that the Nationalists would not agree to the peace treaty. Sure enough, they are right. As the Alliance starts their attack, Maxwell derisively tells Arends to frame the treaty fast because they would all be dead within six minutes.
The [[Galactica (TOS)|''Galactica'']], however, managed to destroy all the nuclear weaponry, scaring the Alliance into accepting the peace accord. When Maxwell tried to thank Apollo and solicit Colonial technology, [[John]] had pulled him out of the Presidium. ([[Experiment in Terra]])
