Sir Maximus Granville is the second baronet in an ancient family. As a boy, he saw his father complete Granville Park, one of the finest houses in the country, and over fifty years in the building. Sir Maximus inherited substantial plantations in Barbados. His fortune has only expanded over the years, though the abolition of the slave trade in 1807 has made business more difficult and he is concerned about the current law in debate about making slave trading a felony.

Sir Maximus is a cool-headed businessman who's single aim in life is to increase his self-consequence and wealth and to boost the Granville name and fortunes. While he is publicly decent, he has a bullying temperament which comes across as jocular within male society. Towards women, he is dismissive. He took in his granddaughter, Isabella from a sense of duty but finds her rather an embarrassment. Only a desire that perhaps someone might be bribed into marrying her and therefore getting her off his hands has led him to bringing her to London.

Sir Maximus is a NPC belonging to Rose.
