Maxson was regarded as a very skilled tactician, many Paladins even referring to him as 'brilliant'. This hot-headed temper was mostly attributed to his young age and so ignored by the senior staff. He was a collected, kept-together man who rarely let on his feelings - however when angry, he became aggressive and very protective of his views. He not only had a natural charm but was also very skilled with speechcraft, and was known to give very captivating and reassuring speeches. Maxson was very charismatic and convincing, leading to many of the soldiers under his command being almost blindly devoted to him.
' This man had a presence so strong that my own charisma almost wanted to crawl away in fear.'
In 2287, Maxson was already the Elder of the Brotherhood and had his men's deepest loyalty and respect, which he must have earned in the time between his ascension to the position.
