Maxwell roth biography

Roth is a complicated character whose advances towards Jacob Frye have been read as romantic by some fans. An interview with Jeffery Yohalem (the lead writer for Syndicate) confirms the implicit gay relationship between Roth and Frye, and further discusses how their kiss right before Roth’s death is meant to catalyze Frye’s understanding of his sexuality.

The ambivalence that Frye seems to show towards Roth’s flirting and general homoerotic subtext has been discussed, but Roth seems to be genuinely interested in Frye in his own disturbed way.
