## Appearance

Malcolm has pale skin, pointed ears, greenish-golden eyes, black eyebrows, and short, blueish, jet black hair. He normally wears a black hoodie with red strings, black and white cargo pants, black combat gloves and black combat boots.

## Personality

Malcolm is highly intelligent though has, and always will use his intelligence to do more harm than good.

He's always been highly interested in technology and such. He enjoys being surrounded by large computer screens, even if they don't work, claiming that they make him feel comfortable and useful. However, Malcolm grew up extremely underprivileged, and as a result would often hack his way into arbitrary people's social media accounts and bribe or blackmail them for money using information they did not want shared, such as suggestive or sexual photos, illegal business, cheating, and other things. Malcolm never once even hints at feeling any sort of regret or remorse for his actions, and believes that he had to do what was necessary to survive and make his way to the top.

It should be known that this isn't the only morally questionable thing Malcolm has done, in fact, at the age of seventeen he was tampering with a technology-based explosive that was implanted in a hidden hideout inside of a large mall, accidentally setting the explosive off and killing everyone inside of the mall, and even some others on the outside as a result of collateral damage. This, however, was an accident. Malcolm attempts to make amends by hacking into the bank accounts of the wealthy and sending almost all of the family members that suffered loss a large sum of cash.

Interestingly, in contrast to Alcmene, he sees the good in most people, and believes that even the most bitter and horrid people have good attributes and qualities. He states that even calloused serial killers have at least had one good thought that could possibly make a positive contribution to society. Even while he does see the good in people, he isn't easily manipulated and still goes out of his way to distance himself from irredeemable people.

Malcolm isn't very easy to anger or upset, he doesn't typically consider the opinions or statements of others and believes that he has bigger things to do. Normally if someone manages to get Malcolm deeply upset, he shuts himself away inside of his office-bedroom surrounded by his computers until he's ready to come out— even installing an iris scan lock to make sure that nobody is able to enter.

While Malcolm isn't the meanest member in The Alliance, at times he can come off as unapproachable or ill mannered, especially when he's focusing on anything technology related. He's easy to talk to for some people, though others notably struggle to talk to him— either because they think he dislikes them or they dislike him.

## Backstory

So far, it's known that Malcolm was born on the streets of poverty, and for some time he and his family lived a more unfortunate lifestyle than others. Slowly as time progressed, his mother grew sicker, eventually to the point of being on the brink of death, also causing his father to have a sudden realization, deciding to leave his wife and son at their worst. All that's known after this time is how Malcolm began to provide for himself and his mother, working his way to the top and becoming a dangerous worldwide hacker.

At one point, around a rather young age, Malcolm mentioned blowing up a large mall, thus murdering thousands of people, and even some others on the outside of the mall as collateral damage. It's also mentioned that Malcolm planned to give up on hacking, and nearly turned himself into the authorities around that time.
