This quiet, mysterious teenager has a secret. He's not of this earth. And he reveals his secret to save the one he loves. Later, Max dicovers that him and his sister Isabelle, and friend Michael, aren't the only aliens around. His destiny sets him with a hybrid like himself, named Tess. Though his heart belongs to Liz, Max is torn between his destiny and going home, or being with Liz. As Leader of his planet, and always taking responsibility of others on his own shoulders, Max has a big problem to deal with. This burden is on him for most of the Season, tearing apart the poor senstive soul that is Max Evans. ... Season 3 holds new problems for Max, who struggles with finding his son. That's right, he got Tess pregnant at the end of Season 2 when Liz blames him for Alex's death. Now that they all know the truth, he searches for a new way home to save that son, but obstacles are in the way. He dies, and is ressurrected by Liz, making them equal, and bringing them together again, finally.
This Roswell waitress, daughter of the owners of the Crashdown Cafe, had a pretty normal life until one day when she was shot. After that, her whole world changed, as she fell in love with the mysterious alien, Max Evans.

Then Liz is visited by future Max, and has to get Max to fall out of love with her for the sake of saving the world and getting Max and Tess together. Even though she loves Max, she gives him up and later is introduced to the delinquent Sean Deluca, her best friend's cousin. When Liz nearly loses Max for good, she comes around and faces the fact that Max is not responsible for Alex's death. In Season 3 she and Max are closer then before, but being arrested and developing her own powers creates a void between them once again. She goes to Vermont to a private school because her life is out of control, and while there Max is killed. She is visited a few days later by someone who looks just like Max, and her mourning ceases.

For a while all Michael focused on was getting home, where he could fit in, but now with his relationship with Maria, it is a hard decision to think about.
