### Type of Villain

Paranoid Corrupt Official

**Malcolm Graham** is a major antagonist in the TV series *Lucifer*. He served as the secondary antagonist of Season 1, the posthumous overarching antagonist of Season 2 and a minor posthumous antagonist in the following seasons.

He was a corrupt L.A.P.D. homicide detective who was shot and killed by Dan Espinoza before being revived from Hell by Amenadiel in exchange for helping him return Lucifer Morningstar there. However, since Malcolm had lost his sanity in the underworld, he became solely obsessed with not going back there and went on a killing spree in the process before being stopped and killed by Chloe Decker.

He was portrayed by Kevin Rankin.

## His Cool and Evil Rankings

### What Makes Him a Guile Villain?

* He was a corrupt police detective who worked with criminals and assisted them in their crimes, even before spending time in Hell, which debases his tragedy.
* It's possible that he loved his family before his death, but he certainly stopped caring about them after his resurrection, becoming verbally abusive to his wife.
* He is shown to have some moments of being very charismatic and manipulative, and a few examples are listed below:
	+ He blackmails Daniel Espinoza, the man who shot him, into working with him with the threat of revealing the truth.
	+ He tried to kill Lucifer Morningstar on Amenadiel's orders so he could stay out of Hell, and then frame Dan for it.
	+ He knocked Dan unconscious and kidnapped him.
	+ He impersonated Dan and texted to his wife, Chloe Decker, that they're breaking up.
* The fact that he's in Hell means he feels remorse for *something*, whatever it may be, as it was never said what it was he regretted, although it might've been his corruption and wasting his second chance at life by causing all the misery he did.

### What Makes Him Evil?

* He tried to shoot and kill Chloe Decker once he realised she's watching him take bribes from a criminal.
* He killed his partner, Anthony Paolucci, and staged it to look like a suicide.
* Going fully insane, he became a serial killer who killed "false" Satanists, while claiming himself to be the only real Lucifer fanatic, and brutally mutilating their bodies. He killed two people this style.
* After Lucifer called him insane and started hating him for killing people in his name, he killed Jacob Williams and framed Lucifer for it.
* He tried to escape from Los Angeles with a fake identity to evade Lucifer's wrath.
* After losing his money to Chloe, he kidnapped her and Dan's eight-year-old daughter Trixie and threatened to kill her if he doesn't give her the money.
* Even though Chloe gave him the money, he still tried to kill her and Trixie.
* He fatally shot Lucifer in the stomach.

## Trivia

* Malcolm was originally Pure Evil before being cut for heinous standard issues and having moral agency issues.
* Malcolm is the first ever Near Pure Evil to be approved as a Guile Villain, but if he did not fail the heinous standards and have a questionable moral agency, he would easily been Pure Evil.
