Malachi Ducharme

Malachi Ducharme is a Lasombra neonate and was one of the three protagonists of the Penumbra chronicle. He returns as a minor character in Spectre.
== Personality ==
Malachi talks a bit louder than he should because loud equals people listening to him and he thinks they'll be more likely to follow the lead if they can hear it real well. When it suits him he can be touchy-feely and isn't adverse to things like a hand on a shoulder to comfort them, and so forth. His gestures when he speaks and gets caught up in his own voice and words can be boisterous as well. When he's mad though, this friendly charade is more liable to crack. His body language can read as more aggressive because he has a hard time reeling in his feelings when he's angered. In a way he wears his heart on his sleeve despite acting like he doesn't, and it can be fairly obvious to anyone around him. If it's pointed out, though, it only serves to anger him more.
While he doesn't like to admit that to some degree being with the Sabbat shaped his opinions on humanity, it did. Being Kindred implies a certain amount of power and superiority that is hard for Malachi to shirk off, and the abilities that he has at his disposal lend him no favor in that regard. Humanity is weaker and easier to shape and manipulate once you get the hang of it, and while stubbornly human and moral at times that is something he finds little more than difficult to deal with. Until they become a thorn in his side with questioning, the needs that come with being mortal, and the like. It helps little that with an already inflated ego being Lasombra and learning of the strengths that come with Obtenebration were true signs of dominance and one of the few things he's grateful to the Sabbat for, if not the only one. While some of his prejudices have calmed down now that he's separate from them, his mind has yet to change further on the matter.
