Christian Ward

Maynard Ward is the abusive older brother of Grant Ward.

Biography
Maynard Ward grew up in the Massachusetts area along with two younger brothers, one of them being future agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., Grant Ward. Maynard was very abusive to his brothers, frequently beating both of them, and making Grant learn self-defense to be able to protect his younger brother.

A particularly cruel incident was when Maynard threw the youngest brother into a well and sought to prevent Grant from rescuing him. Grant eventually managed to do it without Maynard knowing. This incident caused Grant to feel real hate for the first time against Maynard.

In an intimate conversation with Skye, Ward told her that it was not his older brother, but he, who would beat on their younger brother, but it was because Maynard made him.

Fifteen years ago, Grant was imprisoned because he torched his parents' home. When John Garrett asked him about the situation, Grant denied knowledge that Maynard was in the house at the time. Garrett told him that Maynard wanted Grant charged as an adult for attempted murder.

Maynard's current whereabouts are unknown.
