==Biography==
===Serving HYDRA===
Malick was born into an affluent family with roots in an ancient cult known once as the Worshippers of Hive, but that had become known in more recent decades as HYDRA, his ancestors have long been cultists descended from the original human followers of Hive who had remained faithful to their perceived god. A dedicated member of the group's inner circle who commanded the respect of many members, Malick committed much of his life to fulfilling HYDRA's most ancient goal, to return Hive, the God of the Inhumans and deity of the cult, back to Earth from his exile on Maveth, routinely participating in numerous gatherings of the inner circle of HYDRA where lotteries were held to select a single attendee as the "traveler" that would enter the Monolith Chamber and travel to Hive's place of banishment to rescue, or at least serve, the Inhuman, though Malick was never selected.Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. 3.16: Paradise Lost His allegiance to HYDRA lead to him also conducting numerous joint missions with Viola, who would gain a deep respect for him, considering him a powerful man.
Malick went on to raise his own son, Wilfred, in a similar manner, instilling the religion of HYDRA within him while also continuing to serve the organization.Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: 7.01: The New Deal
===Death and Legacy===
Following the in 1929, Wilfred Malick's Father experienced a fall in fortunes, which he found himself unable to stand the bankruptcy he faced, Malick lost the will to live and as a result, he would subsequently commit suicide, leaping out of the window of a building and to his deaths before the eyes of his son and wife.Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: 7.02: Know Your Onions
The death of his father left Wilfred Malick in poverty and without the respect of Viola or any of the other operatives of HYDRA who had previously regarded the Malick family with admiration, causing him to adopt a low opinion of his sire. Malick's death also had highly a negative effect on his wife, who was greatly upset by his demise and went slightly mad until her own death two years after she was left widowed, dying without a word. Despite this, however, the fortune his father had lost was ultimately restored to Wilfred Malick when he was approached by Viola on behalf of Johann Schmidt and HYDRA, who offered Wilfred the chance to restore the honor his family had lost as a result of his father, which he accepted. Ultimately, the Malick Family line continued for three more generations in the forms of Wilfred Malick, then his own sons Nathaniel and Gideon and finally Gideon's daughter, Stephanie Malick, before the family was rendered extinct by the death of its last member, Gideon, Stephanie having died unmarried beforehand at the hands of Hive, the very Inhuman Malick and his family had for centuries sought to restore to power, rendering Mr. Malick's line extinct.Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. 3.17: The Team
