**Maligras Quiroga** is a character from *The Blackout Club (game)*.

## Description

Maligras comes across in her writing as a firm, commanding, and charismatic person. She is confident enough to write a letter to the local school, and she possesses enough confidence and charisma to campaign to become Redacre's next mayor. She was described by Gwen as being “all passion. Not scared of negative attention.”

## History

### Before the Game

The Quirogas are a new transplant family. According to Gwen, Maligras has been in Redacre for a couple years. Despite that, she managed to avoid falling under the influence of the Song. At some point, she wrote a letter complaining about the lack of technology in Redacre's School District budget, arguing that the school should prepare their students with the instruments of success of the modern world, despite the limitations of living within the National Radio Quiet Zone.

Her spouse is a host to SPEAK-AS-ONE who has been described as 'simpering' by Grandmother, while Maligras herself is a host to DIE-FOR-YOU and has been described as the 'leader' in comparison. HQ describes Maligras as “all passion” and “not scared of negative attention.”

SPEAK-AS-ONE said that Maligras likely hosted an enemy Voice. When asked why they used "hosted" in past tense, SPEAK-AS-ONE responded that they are not to speak of it.

Maligras is currently missing and is believed to have been taken by SPEAK-AS-ONE.

Grandmother shares that the Club will not hear from Maligras again, as SPEAK-AS-ONE completely wiped her memories. While her body is alive, there is nothing that can help her.It was later confirmed that during the election for the new mayor of Redacre (Wherein the main opponent was Myron Trips, an individual suspected to be a host of SPEAK-AS-ONE) Maligras was said to have gone missing. As such the election was placed on hold for the sake of the investigation.

The current location of Maligras is unknown, and Grandmother has stated that even when she was a devoted Watcher that information surrounding what happened to Maligras was vague. She says that when Watchers asked The Voice 'what was done with her', they replied that Maligras was 'confirmed to host an enemy..', but that they were '...not aware of it'. Grandmother says that Watchers asked for clarification on where Maligras was taken after she was apprehended for the ties to the one she hosted, and the in response The Voice stated 'We had vagrants here.' 'Now we do not.' 'Where does one go..' 'Who does not have a home?'. Grandmother states that Maligras is not residing within The Barracks, but may be lost alongside the many individuals who enter the Barracks for recruitment but henceforth disappear.

Devin Esposito couldn't find death or arrest records for Maligras.
