## Backstory

Malus was born into a small crime family in the town of Moordon. Eventually, Malus secretly practiced magic, despite it being illegal in Avalor. He believed that the knowledge would give him and his family an advantage in the criminal underworld. However, when Vigo Verdae quickly began to rise up, Malus' family instantly submitted to him. Disgusted by his family's actions, Malus left on his own to continue his magical abilities.

Malus eventually met Sullivan Kane, and the two quickly took advantage of each others skillsets. Slaughtering, capturing, and killing any bounties that came across them, solely for profit. Despite Malus' family submitting to Vigo, Malus never actually hated the crime lord and instead respected him, as the two both viewed humanity superior to other species.

## Personality

Malus is a greedy, disrespectful and arrogant person. His goals and motives are solely of getting more rich and powerful, rather than seeking out wisdom and knowledge like most magic users. He also believes he's the best at what he does, that no one can beat him at a magical duel. Despite his arrogance, Malus has proven to be a decent fighter in magical combat.

## Powers, Skills & Abilities

Being a wizard who's been practicing since he was young, Malus has a wide range of skills. Although not an expert in close quarters, he is good at magical combat. He knows a wide range of spells, only lacking in necromancy.

However, unlike Raveus Atrix, Malus doesn't have as great a wisdom about the rest of the world, other species, and ancient artefacts.

## Trivia

* Malus is one of the reasons Kane detests Dragons, having manipulated him into viewing mankind as the superior species
