-General Stuff-
Name: Maxim N(uit) Noir
Nickname/Alias(es): Tracer, Guy, Spike, Sam
Race: Earth Pony
Gender: Male
Age: Stallion
Additional Status: Moderately well-known gumshoe from Manehattan.
-Physical Stuff-
Pelt Color: Chiaroscuro black, with shades of gray for highlights
Mane/Tail Color and Style: Gray mane with white highlights
Eye Color: Gray
Cutie Mark: A quill and magnifying glass in an X.
Other Scars/Markings: Long scar across left flank, very visible. Black eyepatch over left eye.
Physique: Skinny, apparently underfed, lean, etc.

-Social Stuff-
Current Residence: Small apartment above his office off the Ponyville main street.
Job: Private Detective
Mother: Sona Noir
Father: Nero M. Noir
Ex-Fiancee: Maria Blanc
-Personality Stuff-
Likes: Dark nights, cities that know how to keep their secrets, nice hats, enigmas, soft music, heavy rain.
Dislikes: Figures of authority, dead-ends, foals, hot days, being broke.
Motivation: To come to Ponyville and provide a much needed service to the citizenry as a private investigator. More personally, he has come to find out why Ponyville seems to be the center of action in Equestria ever since Nightmare Moon was defeated.
Strengths: A knack for thinking out of the box and an indomitable drive to get to the bottom of any mystery.
Weaknesses/Flaws: Pathological need to solve puzzles. Gets irritated if prevented from investigating a lead. Sometimes accidentally speaks his internal monologue out loud.
Fears: Not being able to solve a case. Spiders.
Overall Persona: Maxim N. Noir has been described in the past as “intense”. A more apt, but less commonly used descriptor, would be “hardboiled”. Hailing from the streets of Manehattan, Maxim has never once met a mystery he couldn't crack. This reputation earned him a bit of a name in city, but nothing close to true fame. This all changed when Nightmare Moon returned during the 1000th Summer Sun Celebration. Now an enigma bounces about in Max's mind like a bee trapped in a glass jar:
Why?
Why are so many strange, chaotic events starting to occur more frequently throughout Equestria?
Why are such powerful beings, like Nightmare Moon and Discord, plaguing the land once again?
And why does most of the chaos seem to be centered in Ponyville?
After many sleepless nights of research, Max has come to a decision: He will leave for Ponyville and set up his office there, acting as the town's resident sleuth. His reasoning is that, other than the ability to research the town in his free time, any strange happenings will end up on his desk. Another piece of the puzzle for him to answer the agonizing question:
