Mal tends to wear human clothing, either jeans and a nice shirt when casual, or a three piece suit when more formal things are going on. When on a job however he wears a specially cut shikasho that is tighter around the legs and has light armor on the shoulders. Mal wears his katana along his spine with the hilt directly behind his head, even in his human attire, as he dislikes being without the weapon.

## Personality

Mal is a bit of a light hearted man, but overall much more pragmatic than anything else. He knows that leaving his fate in someone else's hands is a fool's errand. To that end he tends to work alone. He does enjoy hanging out with anyone that can keep their blade in the sheathe, but knows that people like that are generally rare...or that's what his training in the Gotei taught him.

### Likes

Kido. In all forms but lightning most of all.

A nice drink.

Hanging out with friends between missions.

Money.

### Dislikes

Drama.

Unnecessary violence.

People that are better at kido than he is.

## History

In the academy Mal excelled in his studies of kido and quickly was moved to an advanced class. His previous instructor didn't take that well, and attempted to sabotage his performance during a final test. The attack resulted in an injury to Mal's back, landing him in the barracks of the 4th squad for well over a month.

When he had finally healed he was offered another chance to take the test, to join the Gotei proper, but he'd had enough. If that sort of corruption, jealously, and betrayal could be present in the instructors that shaped the graduates of the academy then what could he expect at higher levels? So he left.

Mal called in what favors he had and was discharged from the Gotei training program. He was allowed to keep his Zanpakuto, only because the asauchi had already awakened, and was able to obtain a gigai, before heading out to the human world.
