Malia Aleqsei Damaresq

Malia Aleqsei Damaresq is a character from the Fate inspired Dungeons and Dragons Campaign, Fate/Umbral Veil.

### Profile

#### Background

Malia is a bit of an enigma as she came from Russia to enroll at Clocktower, but is not connected to any major Russian mage families. She joined the Clocktower at 16 and after graduating applied and became a rising star inside the Astromancy department. All of this came to a quick close during an incident now called the Comet Trail Slaughter. Details are generally vague but the experiment resulted in the deaths of 11 different high ranking students and one teacher who were all murdered by means unknown, with unexplainable wounds such as a sliced off head when there were no bladed implements on site by any means. Malia was the only person left alive, found in one corner of the room muttering to herself with a protection circle around her. Malia wasn't imprisoned as it couldn't be proven she had planned it out but she was expelled from Clocktower and a sealing designation placed on her at the urging of the families of the victims.

At some point years after that she encountered Rex in a conflict while in Ireland while on search for an item unknown, but at this point had Chiyome with her: her magnum opus and proof of concept regarding her works involving the Greater Grail. It is unknown where and what she did before or after this event up until entering the millennium Lock.

More recently she went into the Millennium Lock in cooperation with Gadriel Chavameur, brought out Abelard for unknown purposes and went back in only to be captured by the church. From there her arm was cut off and she met the Millennium Lock party.

#### Appearance

Malia has bright red hair, green eyes, and wears a cream colored shirt, a light blue cravat, with a gold chain holding a dark blue cape around her shoulders. She also wears a dark blue skirt with leather knee high boots.

#### Personality

Malia can be playful and generally adapts quickly to any situation, her demeanor shifting almost unnaturally quickly such as when the party found her she was particularly upset, which quickly shifted to generally sassy when she recognized Rex. Her usual mood can be considered good humored, but it veils some potentially darker thoughts as she was legitimately curious where everyone would end up if the Millennium Lock collapsed.

##### Relationships

Chiyome-Generally a good relationship, with some slight disagreements that have yet to be explained. Chiyome's death affected her but she would not talk about it when prompted.

Minase Shizuka-Met during her time in the Millennium Lock, she mistakenly believed Minase had a wish to be granted and offered her entry into the Grail War. Minase's wish situation was debunked later to Malia's embarrassment.

Rex Z. Wodime-Malia has a complex relationship with Rex. They originally met in Ireland at least a year and a half before her entry into the Millennium Lock, where she defeated him in combat until Chiyome stepped in to stop her. The results of that fight are still unknown but its generally regarded Chiyome successfully repelled her. At that time she regarded him as a proper enemy.

After meeting in the Lock it'd be more accurate to say they have an almost brother and sister relationship, with Malia tutoring him to speak japanese and allowing him entry into the Grail War. There is still slight tension between them but far lessened than two people who want to kill each other.

Gadriel Chavameur-Malia is old friends with Gadriel and she's one of the first Masters to receive her command seals. Her recent actions in the Millennium Lock have put that bond to the test as Malia knows Gadriel was at least partially involved with some of the issues she faced.

### Role

Malia is directly responsible for the creation of the Grail War System in this universe, it is currently unknown exactly how she tapped into the Greater Grail
