He doesn't physically change and he is still the same caring person. The only thing that sort of changed was that th bond between Max and his sister became even stronger now that he knew how it felt to loose her.

When the old man killed himself to go and see his wife in heaven was the ues of irony in my story. Before he thought that the only way he would be able to see his wife was by kill other people to prolonge his life until he would have a chance to sail back to where his wife was. He lost track of time and ended up killing people for nothing because his wife had died centuries ago. But the only way he would be able to see his wife was by killing himself so he would meet her in heaven.

Everyone has a time when must leave this world so don't do anything regretful.
