Maud Bowe was the daughter of Percival Bowe and traveled from London to Chapelvale with Obadiah Smithers. She was instructed by her father to watch Mr Smithers and work with him on convincing the Chapelvale villagers to abandon their homes. Maud Bowe was in many ways more intelligent and even more cruel than Obadiah, and often threatened people because of her father's power. She had no scruples in getting her ends and asked her father to hire the London Bullies in order to terrorize Winifred Winn into selling her home.
