On the outside, Malak appears to be a handsome young man in his prime, He possesses a lithe build and a strong form, lightly muscled and possessing an average height for men of his age. The true nature of Malak's beauty is in his face. Malak is quite attractive underneath his shadowy hood, possessing mysterious yellow eyes and a devilish grin. Malak can be quite alluring at times, and other times he can be frightening. In the moonlight for example, the light reflects off the pallor of his nearly alabaster skin, reflecting the flawless nature of his face. Malak is about as handsome as he is twisted on the inside, though the Dark mana he uses has taken an effect on his face, whenever he uses his powers that attractive nature fades, his eyes glow and his lips part to show sharpened teeth and fangs. Purple or green flames appear on his person and the once clear and beautiful skin produces veigns that can clearly be seen.
When Malak acts as himself he wears clothing that is truly fitting for a warlock like himself. Black robes and cloak enshroud his form with shadows, a dark hood obscuring his face save for his glowing yellow eyes (One is often covered by his hair) Malak resembles the Warlock he truly is, a frightening, mysterious being with great powers over black magic. This clothing is in no way subtle, and Malak changes to this whenever he is not in his home or working for the King on a mission. The clothing underneath the robe is expensive, protective cloth with light reinforces sections that protect his vital areas in case a spell fails to defend him. This outfit is far more decorated than his â??civilianâ? guise, with dark-gold runes that cover the cloak and pieces of jewelery, including the Ruby Amulet he wears under his neck, another ruby brooch that holds his cloak around his shoulders, rings on his uncovered hand, and a suspicious black gauntlet on his right hand.
Malak is an expert in the art of deception, for years he has maintained a public façade that has protected him from potential enemies and those who grow too curious as to what happens inside the walls and in the great basement of his manor. When Malak assumes this disguise he runs his hand over his face, seemingly dispelling all signs of corruption from his face, turning his eyes from a violent gold to a peaceful violet. Malachai appears truly friendly and kind, all of the harshness Malak cherishes vanishing into an act designed to throw off potential enemies and fooling foes into underestimating him, a lethal mistake.
Malachai often wears the clothing of a noble of the Darkwood lineage, royal purples, reds and blues. The outfit is that of a Noble Spell Caster, even though the family that Malak obliterated was not strong in magic themselves. Malak has several outfits, never sticking with one for all too often, though most of all of them have an overcoat with a matching cloak, embroidered with beautiful patterns and arcane symbols. Malak is often fond of robes, wearing them whenever he desires. Malakâ??s clothing has a degree of a protective nature, making him able to shrug off sparks or small amounts of flame, though they are in no way. Malak always wears this outfit when acting as Malachai
Underneath his clothes however Malak bears many scars from the slavery he endured as a child, deep scars from when whips which split his flesh, deeper scars from blades, and even some burns from the various tortures that were inflicted on him as a youth. Malak has erased the most disfiguring of these scars by taking the lives of innocents with pure skin, especially virgins, and absorbing their purity, mending and restoring his flesh, he does however keep many, unable to get rid of some, and keeping others as reminders of his life as something lower than an animal.

On the outside Malachai seems to be an eccentric nobleman, he possesses many quirks and eccentricities, passing as a man who has lived his entire life in wealth and comfort. The truth is far from this, Malachai, the kind lord of the Darkwood area was never a noble, he had slaughtered the noble family that once ruled the land and passed himself as a much kinder nephew of the cruel lord who once lived in his manor.
Malak is simply a skilled actor, and though he despises his gentle façade he carries it out since it allows him to fool potential enemies into believing he is incompetent or unwilling to do real damage. He is also capable of fooling those he wishes to do harm to that he serves the side of the Light, while in reality he is as dark as they get. Malak hides behind an attractive and innocent face, wearing a smile and a mask to disguise the true monster that he is when meeting with those whom he wants to destroy to weed out their weaknesses and fears before using them against them in force or stabbing them in the back.
When dealing with allies Malak reverts to his true personality. He seems to be callous and cold compared to his guise, but is uncomfortably precise and polite to allies, often using their titles instead of speaking their names. Malak is capable of sounding like he respects others, and doing it well, he is a very skilled actor, even if he has nothing but contempt for others, often though, he does not hesitate to let someone know he doesnâ??t like them.
Malak truly takes delight in performing vile experiments on innocents; he is fascinated with pain and human suffering, and will often spend great amounts of time experimenting on a single poor soul, victims taken to Malakâ??s home often find themselves being tortured, mutilated, or otherwise treated horribly until they finally reach the release of death, only to be resurrected for more. Malak tests his spells this way, casting them on individuals or summoning creatures to determine the effect and the horror they cause. Malak has no regard for human life whatsoever and is especially careless regarding the lives of innocents. Malak will waste subordinates without hesitation using fear to drive them though he makes an excelled commander, and does fight by the sides of his troops, casting buffs over the ones he wishes to perform more admirably while leaving the units he deems worthless to die in combat.
Malak sees himself above all others, he believes he is better than anybody at what he does, and whenever he discovers someone who can best him, he becomes enraged; his pride is his greatest sin, and greed is his second. Malak truly believes himself to be better than those he meets, he may or may not express this belief and in many cases he is in fact superior. Malak hates the king for this reason, as the king is superior in power to him, though he also accepts the Kingâ??s rule, as he has proven to be effective as a leader, and is much more gentle and open to the Warlock than he is to those he has conquered.
Malak hates the idea of being controlled, and he hates following orders from others who he regards as inferior, blatantly ignoring orders most times and doing his own thing. Fortunately he often proves more competent than those he works for, being an extremely skilled strategist and an intellectual of the highest degree.
��� [ The past is history.
] ;; In common knowelege, lord Malachai was born as a member of the Darkwood family in Elzier, raised and trained in a prestigious magical academy and having come over to the Darkwood region upon hearing of the tragic demise of his family due to a mysterious plague that killed everyone in the manor.
This of course is far from the truth.
The warlock that now calls himself "Malak" was born a slave to the family that controlled the Darkwood region in Lassadar. Malak was unlucky enough to be born to a slave, a woman known Tara, a slave in the household of the powerful Darkwood family, a family of very rich nobles and collectors of artifacts. The boy was a slave from birth, and his masters were cruel ones. Tara protected her son for as long as she could, but that was exhausting as an effort, and she died shortly after she gave birth to her son. The boy was beautiful, but he was still a slave. The family raised him to childhood for that reason, depriving him the kindness and love that every child deserves. The boy's master gave him no name, preferring to address him by a title, as "Slave", as a result he learned to despise that word whenever it was spoken. The master also ignored him in the favor of his own children and as a result the boy often had to scrounge and steal food to manage to get along without going hungry.
As the boy grew up he learned how truly malicious his masters really were, they worked him hard, beating him whenever he was unable to do his chores or whenever he did not speak to them with the utmost respect. It didn't matter that Malak was small and fragile, the beatings were just as harsh as they were on the other slaves. Certain members of the family, especially the head of the family, The man hated the young slave for his attractive nature, and took it out on his body, beatings and whip[pings were commonplace.
When Malak grew to be a preeteen he began to have dark dreams, there was secrets in his master's homes, secrets that had been long forgotten. The boy took these dreams literally, and one night sought out the secret, finding a hidden door in the castle basement. The boy entered the door and found himself in the hallowes halls of one of the greatest, and most evil magic users to ever walk the land. Maloch. It was there he discovered the Talisman, and the moment he picked it up it spoke to him, telling that it could help him, that there was evil running through the blood that his masters callously spilled, that blood had awakened him, and that blood was what would give the boy his new power, the power to change his life.
The boy stayed in Maloch's lab, the amulet speaking to him, teaching him how to read the many books scattered around, and that is what malak did, learning ancient, forbidden spells in the short weeks he spent there. He named himself, casting aside his status as a slave and taking one as an apprentice, naming himself after his master... Malak. Malak stayed in the passage for weeks, forgetting to sleep, to eat, but oddly not needing to, the magic fed and energized him. Malak lasted and waited, learning as he went.
When Malak emerged from the secret passage he had changed, the boy had almost a year down there, and by then the family had assumed he had made a successful escape attempt. The first member of the Manor to spot him as he emerged, dressed in black rags and carrying a book under his arm and an amulet around his neck was an overseer who, doing his job, ordered the boy to get back to work, brandishing his whip and prepairing to land a punishing strike with the weapon. The boy acted first, reaching out and catching the blow in his new gloved hand, watching as it burst into flames before vile incantations slept from his lips, the guard's body being ripped asunder by evil spirits that followed Malak as he went and one by one slaughtered the noble family, drinking deep of their blood and consuming their souls, watching as he absorbed their vitality and youth and his scars vanishing. Malak trook over the manor, dressing hismelf in his old master's clothes.
Malak introduced himself to the people as Malachai, a nobleman who had moved in to the manor after the family passed away so tragically. Malachai presented himself as a kind lord, taking the region over almost immediately. Malachai's behavior at first was completely normal, seeming to be a kind young lord. However one day people started to vanish. Malak's magic required him to perform sacrificed, and he wanted to know more, unfortunately that meant a couple of experiments had to be made. Malak used orphans at first, seeing as how no one would miss them and that he could claim he was uniting them with loving families. Malak was careful at this point, and did not exactly love his experiments at that point, having not been truly corrupted yet.
Malak met Naolin in this period, having encountered the young noble necromancer on a trip into the city. The males got along famously, despite their conflicting personalities. Malak at this time was not too far from his alter ego in personality, he still had warmth inside him, though he was jealous of Nao's noble blood and his great spellcasting powers, he also experienced feelings he hadn't known he had before, both for Naolin and the dragon that he was friends went.
One day Malak couldn't take the frustration any longer, he challenged Nao to a duel, he wanted to defeat nao, to prove to himself that he wwas better than him, all those years of being second to him were to come to a swift close. Malak was outmatched, as nao was a far better necromancer, however, Malak briefly turned the tables with a spell he had just learned, the Eldritch Blast. Naolin won, even though Malak used forbidden spells and Malak was forced to his knees, his emotions clashing within him even though Naolin spared him and even though he had been attacked, forgave him for the incident, as they were after all friends. Malak had before just wanted to express himself, but now the black hatred burning inside of him for his friend had grown to a pitch, the male wiped the tears from his eyes and apologized, taking Naolin's hand even though his movements were truly false.
Malak was defeated, and broken by Nao's victory, Nao was still kind to him, he showed mercy, this burned Malak up, and made him hate him far more than ever before.
Malak would not let this slight to his honor go, his jealously and rage brought him to Naolin's side as he slept on his eighteenth birthday, bending over him and whispering dark and baleful words into his ears to ensure his sleep, his fingers carving a dark mark, the mark of his master into his flesh. The mark would ruin the necromancer's life, destroy all that he allowed himself to grow close to. The Necromancer would later find a method to releave himself of the curse, but only temporary, and it took the loss of the he loved. Malak met Naolin the next day, a sympathetic, kind look on his face, stating that he was felt his loss, and his sadness. the two split paths later, Malachai telling that Naolin was welcome in his home at any time.
When When Malak finally turned twenty, the king came to him. of course the king saw through his guise, and the number of orphans and criminals he had cut through testing out his powers. The king offered the Warlock a deal, telling him that he could supply him with a fresh supply of maidens and youths to conduct his experiments on so long as he conducted his experiments in the name of the king. Malak did not have much of a choice, seeing as even though this was before Vayne took Elzier, Darkwood was a province of Lassadar, but the king was smart, avoiding angering the male to earn a powerful ally. Malak agreed to the king's deal, and began working his experiments for the king's army, augmenting various soldiers with the magics he had learned by torturing countless innocents.
Malak proved to be one of the most twisted and terrifying beings in Lassadar shortly, all the while holding the beloved name of Malachai. Malak, not referred to by name became a boogieman in Lassadar, as some unfortunates surely would end up in his "Care" Malak served the king, though not as a member in his army usually, and serving as a commander or a general whenever taking control of the King's magical corps.
Malak was there when the king overtook the city in Elzier, having personally blown down the doors and demoralized the troops so King Vaynes men could rush in and take the city.

Power- Total, unlimited power. That is what Malak wants, and that is what Malak intends to gain.
Experimentation: Malak is a scientific type, he enjoys a variety of sadistic experiments he performs on innocents.
Sex- sometimes Malak enjoys sexual pleasure more than he does pain, as sadistic as he is he does quite like having another under his power squirming naked beneath him, powerless to resist him.
The Drow: Malak has a fetish for elves, he also likes the elf due to her solitary and aggressive nature.
The Elf: As Saidâ?¦ Elf. Fetish. Of course it is more likely that he is interested in experimenting on her more than anything. Her personality could use a fewâ?¦ adjustments after all.
��� [ When the dog bites.
] ;;
Being controlled- Malak doesnâ??t take orders well, he long ago decided that he answers to no man or god. The King of Darkness however has wizened to this and does not give him orders, but merely offers him opportunities to perform mutually beneficial tasks.
Being reminded of his past- Few people know that Malak was once a slave, but being taunted with this fact reminds him of all the horrible things that his masters did to him in his bondage, Reminding him of his life of slavery is a death wish, as Malakâ??s Gauntlet doesnâ??t discriminate and once the petrifaction curse takes effect, it canâ??t be stopped.
The Necromancer- Malak positively hates the necromancer, dumbfounded with the fact that he defeated him in his dark power. The necromancer is older than him, a noble, and skilled with the use of his spirits. Naolin defeated Malak once in a duel, and Malak has never forgiven for that, going to extreme lengths to make his life miserable by inflicting one of his most unpleasant curses on him in his sleep, a curse that would stifle his power and destroy all he loves, then to finally control and destroy him utterly. Malak is driven to kill Naolin, wanting greatly to absorb his soul and gain his power.
Dragons- Malak just doesnâ??t like them. Both the Noble and Tyrant dragons irritate him, though he seeks to consume the Noble one, as she is far more powerful.
��� [ When the bee stings.
] ;;
Enslavement- The thought of being forced to bow to another is something Malak canâ??t stand, he would be easily willing to destroy himself through magic rather than obey anotherâ??s whims by force.
[ â?¦ Ñ?нâ?®Ñâ?® Ñаи оиâ??γ вâ?® â?¦ ]
��� [ Feel my wrath.

Black Magic- Black Magic is Malakâ??s preferred and ultimate form of offense and defense, spells that are easily cast and cause great pain and death to his enemies. Black Magic is the most diverse of all Malakâ??s magic. Black magic is composed of forbidden spells that cause harm to his enemies in ways that conventional magic users wouldnâ??t dare. Black magic draws on the very evil of Malakâ??s soul, and the soul that is sealed in the Amulet that Malak carries to generate its power, feeding on the corruption and darkness of the earth and in the hearts of humans.
Seeing Malak use Black Magic is a terrible sight to behold, his eyes glow a molten yellow color as black and green flames spill from his hands and sometimes even his eyes and mouth.
The most basic form of attack that Malak uses is called an eldritch blast, a simple blast of dark energy launched from the hand. The blasts can be altered to form piercing, long ranged, or even scattered blasts which burn and harm those they touch. Malak can form these blasts into whatever form he pleases, sometimes forming a sword or bow from the energy. Eldritch blasts scald and burn the flesh of the living and create wounds that are not easily healed.
Malak also has other forms of attack, summoning sweeping darkness, twisting living beings into monsters, enslaving spirits and supernatural beings, physically harming others, draining their energy, striking fear into their hearts, and ripping the souls out of mortalâ??s bodies (a personal favorite). The more complex spells take more time to cast, but Malak is a deadly spell caster none the less.
Black Magicâ??s only weakness is great holy power, unlike light and dark it takes power from evil, not lack of light. A holy attack can cancel his power.
Necromancy- Malak is a powerful Necromancer, using spells to manipulate the spirits of the dead, or more specifically the bodies of the dead. While Malak is able to control spirits he uses other forms for his magic, summoning undead creatures to fight for him rather than having a peaceful relation with spirits. Malak is a master of the darker forms of necromancy, and his alter ego Malachai is an accomplished spell caster. Malakâ??s skill in Necromancy is limited due to the fact that he is not a full blooded Necromancer; his power is â??borrowedâ?? from the Ancient Necromancer named Malach. Malak also uses this, paired with Black Magic to raise corpses from the dead as undead slaves.
Conjuration: Malak loves to summon creatures, whether they are familiars or demons. His favorites are monstrous hellhounds, beasts that resemble wolves but are often but are somewhat skeletal in nature, billowing green flames from their eyes and mouths and creatures called Hydras, venomous snakelike demons which emerge from his shoulders when it comes time to strike. Malak also uses spells from this field to change his clothing with a flash of green flames or to summon his weapon, but not much more, Everything but clothes and weapons may take a long time to summon.
Curses- Curses are the most powerful long-term effects that Malak has in his possession, and with the most numerous effects. Curses are spells that Malak uses to inflict a rather permanent or long lasting effect on an enemy, not all are deadly, but all are unpleasant, curses have many, many effects but generally cause pain and suffering on the victim, from transforming someone into something or branding them with a mark that causes death to follow them, striking down all who are close to them while leaving them agonizingly alive, or having food turn to ashes in a personâ??s mouth. Malak inflicts curses on enemies he hates and sometimes on allies as a punishment for irritating him. Curses are sometimes able to be lifted by holy magic, but some of them, like the Curse of the Seal he left on Naolin and the Curse of the Gorgon can only be lifted by Malak himself. Malakâ??s favorite curse is the Curse of Gorgon, which slowly, but surely turns an enemy into a unliving statue, immortalized and in constant pain for all eternity. Curses have no real offensive purpose, instead Malak merely uses them to torture other living beings after combat.
Hexes- Hexes interfere with enemy thought and sanity, causing them a variety of effects from simple ones that confuse and muddle foes to complex ones that take control of an opponentâ??s body, forcing them to attack those close to them. Hexes can also affect the body. Hexes can also physically harm someone, though curses do that far worse.

In close Combat Malak is relatively helpless, up close he doesnâ??t stand a chance against a knight armed with a sword, though he is usually able to jump away and evade a foe long enough to get some distance so he can start slinging spells again. If he has to fight he prefers to use close ranged spells or his gauntlet, the Hand of Amon-Sul
Malochâ??s Talisman- Malochâ??s talisman is a Talisman that once belonged to the evil sorcerer that once ravaged both of the lands with his dark magic, responsible for the corruption of Lassadar in general and strangely the presence of roaming undead elsewhere. This Talasman possessed a portion of Malachâ??s soul, and is the source of Malakâ??s necromantic powers and knowelege, as well as his ability to consume the souls of the living. Maloch himself is available as a spirit, still wielding all the fury he had in life in death, having given his Protégé and successor the rest. The Talisman is Malakâ??s prized possession, and woe to any thief who manages to steal it. This is noted as a weapon because whenever Malak interacts with his dark lord, he gains an absurd boost in his magical power, guided by the king of the dead himself.
Hand of Andum-Sul- The Hand of Twilight- The Hand of Twilight is a powerful, ancient artifact of evil power that Malak wears. The hand takes the form of a long black gauntlet, worn on Malakâ??s right arm; The Hand covers his hand and forearm, all the way up to the elbow. The upper part of the glove appears to be made of thin black metal that fits the skin so smoothly and tightly it appears to be a glove, in no way bulky or cumbersome, with craftsmanship that almost rivals that of the elves of Greatwood. The gauntletâ??s hand is even more unique, on the back of the hand is a large, demonic looking eye seemingly embedded in it, the eye on the back of the hand remains closed when inactive, but when it opens, the gloveâ??s power is activated. The fingers are long and sleek, matching Malakâ??s fingers perfectly, though when activated the fingers can grow into deadly talons, increasing the weaponâ??s already terrifying look. The Hand seems to be able to change shape, growing bladelike attachments at its userâ??s will when activated. In its activated state the eye glows and lines run through the glove, ritual designs highlighted in blood red cover the glove. The Hand of Twilight has numerous powers, able to channel a curse with great effect, like the curse of the Gorgon, enabling their use in combat. allowing him to rapidly petrify foes.
The hand of Amon Sol has also displayed other abilities, more terrifying ones. Using The Hand Malak is able to grab a living being and drain the life force from them, rapidly aging them until they are nothing but bones and ash, Malak has also been seen tearing the soul from a human being who angered him. The Hand also has another power, when Malak uses it and touches an object, it is destroyed, either shattered or disintegrated, crumbling to ash whether it was stone, steel wood, or flesh. Malak is never seen without it (Usually keeping it in Glove form) The Hand has its inherent weaknesses too, of course it has an extremely short range in order to work, leaving Malak vulnerable to ranged attack nearly at all times, it also makes it difficult to fight more heavily armed enemies, and nearly impossible to fight multiple enemies. One on one however, Malak can be quite deadly.
[ â? о и â?® â? ]
��� [ This connection is deep.
] ;; The Drunken Necromancer is Malakâ??s worst enemy (Or at least that is how Malak feels, Nao is unaware of his old rivalâ??s malicious nature), a noble at birth the man is a powerful necromancer, gifted in the arts. Malak believes that the Necromancer is an insult to the art of the dead, and his hatred is what drove him to lay his most powerful curse on him to chain his powers
Malak doesnâ??t particularly like many on his own side, he despises the King for his power, yet follows him purely out of respect for that same power, that and the fact that the King has offered him even greater power.
