-Maximilian Rose doing business with a fellow gangster over the phone

When Bobby Pendragon, Gunny, and Vo Spader were searching for the turning point on first earth, Gunny (Vincent) introduces Bobby and Spader to Max Rose, a gangster. Rose had a partnership with a gangster, Winn Farrow, who later became Max's enemy. Max calls Bobby, Buck Rogers, and Spader, Flash Gordon, when the Travelers are working for him.

When Bobby finds out Rose is helping the Nazi's, the travelers suspect he is the problem. Max Rose later hired Bobby and Spader after they saved his life from assasintaion. Max Rose was supposed to die in a car accident on May 6, 1937. With that changed Winn Farrow blew up the German zepplinn, the Hindenburg, which kept history on track.
