Past[]

Professor Maelstrom is the leader of V.I.L.E. He is the one who taught Carmen, El Topo, Le Chevre, Crackle and Tigress the arts of psychology and how to make the perfect diversion (as shown in the example, where Maelstrom changed his suitcase full of worms and bugs with the one with money in which Tigress swapped it), and in the aforementioned example, he told the four students that in order to make the perfect diversion you need to have a different object, that weights the same as the one of their targets'.

Season 1[]

He is first seen in a flashback when Carmen recounts her story about how she escaped V.I.L.E. island. He was one of Carmen's surrogate parents and the teacher of psychology and thievery. He taught Carmen and her ex-friends how to pull of a bait-and-switch tactic, which is used multiple times throughout the rest of the series.

He is later seen hiring Paper Star to steal the Magna Carta from a museum. He explains its value to the other leaders of V.I.L.E. and they give him the OK to go on with the heist.
