- —Max Seidelmann
Max Seidelmann is an American buyer for Haymakers Department Store in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He acts as a friend to Frank Carlson upon his return to 1912 and often suggests to play blackjack with Buick Riviera in the Smoking Room, as well as giving small hints about Carlson's objectives.
Second Mission[]
When Carlson travels to the Boat Deck at the beginning of his mission, Max calls him over and comments on how cold it is outside that evening. He suggests that the pair of them go to the Smoking Room as a friendly gesture. If Carlson agrees, Max first says they should stop by the Café Parisien to meet with Colonel Zeitel and Willi von Haderlitz. Upon the conclusion of their meeting, he remarks that he doesn't trust either of them, and thinks they are both up to no good before returning to the Smoking Room.
Max can be found later on in the First Class Reception. He remarks that he had just seen Isidor Straus, implying this is where the cufflink can be found, will point Carlson towards John Smethells if the steward is looking for them, and will also mention Claris Limehouse has a cabin on the same deck.
After Willi is murdered by Zeitel, the clues left behind eventually give Carlson a pack of cigarettes that belong to Max. If he returns them to Max in the Smoking Room, he thanks Carlson for doing so and claims that he originally gave them to Willi earlier in the night. Max then speaks of seeing Willi on top of the fourth smokestack when the Titanic was docked in Queenstown, suspicious that he was hiding something.
Max does not survive the sinking and can be found on the aft section of the ship once all of the lifeboats are gone.
