Malaxus

**Malaxus** is an ancient demon, and the main antagionist of Reign of Malaxus.

## Phyisical Appearance

Malaxus is a demon as tall as a building. Physical features on Malaxus include jagged teeth, black eyes with purple irises, two large protruding horns on his head, and skin that is the same color as the Void itself, if not a slightly brighter color.

Malaxus is also said to have taken many forms throughout the story during Reign of Malaxus. His clone body is red, has a fragmented horn and a perfectly intact horn on his head, a mechanical eye that replaces his right eye, lacks a lower half, has a large metal plate on his chest that protects his heart, and two mechanical arms, one normal, and another that's a plasma launcher.

Malaxus' true body is covered in demonic armor, although it is unfinished due to the fact that pieces of the armor couldn't be found. Malaxus also wears fingerless gloves that have spikes on the knuckles.

## History

#### **B.O.C (Before Object Canon)**

Before the era of the current Object Heroes, Malaxus was a highly dangerous demon that had terrorized the world, with nobody to oppose him, and those that did were slain or corrupted to become part of his army, usually the former. However, one fateful day, a band of heroes had found Malaxus in his fortress and fought him. The heroes were victorious, but they discovered a horrific truth about Malaxus. Even without his physical form, his evil presence is still capable of spreading, in the form of his own spirit. After defeating his spirit, Malaxus was banished by an ancient magical spell that placed him in an enchanted tomb, its locks were enchanted by the power of the Magistones, keeping him sealed inside for years to come. Malaxus' armor was also taken apart, aside from the chestplate, and sealed off in the far reaches of the planet. Malaxus' body was buried deep in a crypt, which would soon become known as Bloodroot Dungeon.

#### **Post-Droning Ventures**

After the events of The Droning Ventures, which led to a mass loss of life, and the unexpected side-effect of the destruction of the Magistones, the locks on Malaxus' tomb soon begun to lose their magic, slowly allowing the malicious demon to break free, but he couldn't exactly break all the way free without getting a physical vessel... Fortunately for Malaxus, a Knight Drone had been wandering by the tomb in a search for adventure, had wandered too close to his tomb, allowing Malaxus to possess the Knight Drone and turn it into Dark Knight Drone. With this, Malaxus soon begins his plans of taking over the planet. But in order to do that, he needs one thing: An army...

#### **Rebel Against the Dark Company**

During the events of Rebel Against The Dark Company, the quarter-powerful Dark Knight Drone was looking to gather some soldiers for an army. During this time, he was approached by an individual in a black cloak with purple eyes, claiming that he was the leader of a cult that worships a demon god, and this cult has existed for centuries. Malaxus, who was controlling Dark Knight Drone, realized that the demon god was him, and decided that he had already found a great group of allies that shared his ideals. And so Dark Knight Drone and this mysterious cult leader traveled the lands, bringing back the dead to grow their army's numbers and they were also spying on the heroes at the same time. Malaxus' presence had also managed to corrupt a few entities, which the heroes witnessed during Chapter 6, when a Security Sphere was transformed into a more vicious version that actively seeks out their targets. The last appearance of Dark Knight Drone and the leader was after Chapter 8 in the Lumine Forest, where Dark Knight Drone uses his regaining power to resurrect one of the villains that had died within the toy factory/store/robot, (Change this if you know what it is.) which brought her back as a combination of flesh and machine. Angry at her death, she proceeds to join the evil duo in hopes of avenging her death, and eventually Shadow Firey's death.

#### **Age of the Yanmas**

Although Malaxus isn't present in Age of the Yanmas, he makes himself known after the first chapter when a pair of Yanmas were looking at Yanstation's shut down body, with a large group of shadow hands grabbing it before both of the Yanmas could do anything and dragging Yanstation into the Cultist's Base, where he would undergo heavy repairs and modifications, along with Yanviathan and Yanaw.
