## Background

A foul & nightmarish evil from the distant past… Malefor can and will kill you should you stand in his way, he truly believes himself superior to all those around him, going as far to proclaim himself the ‘Strongest Dragon in all History’. Though he is now seen as the Embodiment of all Evil, he wasn’t always that way, he was the promised defender of the dragon race, the elders had high hopes for him…

But now look how he turned out! He was driven insane by his own immense power. Now he is on a mad quest, his goal is simple but terrifying.. he wants to destroy the world!!

### Personality

While starting off polite and courteous to those around him, he is in reality maniacal and ruthless. He is arrogant and proud, much akin to Spyro himself and sees these parallels between them.

However, this demeanor of his turns out to be a façade as he is cold and ruthless when doesn’t get his way.

Malefor is also without a doubt a skilled manipulator and can instill fear & doubt in the even most foolhardy souls! Because he is the first ever purple dragon, he rightfully views himself superior to others. His arrogance and lust for greater power all dates back his troubled childhood, where he was abused by his peers, he was often called weak and pushed around. Until one day he just snapped and killed his abusers.

Now calling himself The Dark Lord, Malefor is cold, cruel, vindictive, monstrous, a megalomanic and downright evil. He is self-righteous, and truly believes his destiny is bring about the birth of a new world, by issuing it’s destruction.

He is proud of his abilities over the elements and his heritage as well, he is always boasting about how great and powerful he is! He will not hesitate to let you know.

He also does not understand concepts such as love and friendship, for he is too far gone, the old Malefor died long ago, replaced by a vile monster, he may pretend to be your friend but in reality will backstab you! He cannot be trusted whatsoever..
