## History

### Early Life

Malachi Messenger was born to Turms, god of roads, travel, loads, gymnasiums, athletes, diplomacy, orators, thieves, commerce, trade, invitations, travelers, messengers, and merchants and Mariana Messenger on June 15, 2004 in Johannesburg, South Africa. Mariana Messenger works in her basement inventing things, but yet they all failed and for that she was made an outcast with everyone. One day at an expo and she was showing her(failed) experiments she met a man with grey eyes and brown hair and they had gotten into a conversation. Mariana was an eccentric woman and practically no one could keep up with her but yet the man did much to Mariana's surprise. Eventually Mariana got the nerve to ask him to her lab to see if he could help her with her current experiment and he agreed, and after that they continued to work on her experiments, the man giving her a few helpful tips here and there. A few weeks later a doorbell rang and she opened the door to find a baby on the doorstep with the man not in sight and with a note only saying to call him Malachi.

### Childhood

Malachi always helped his mom with her experiments and was home schooled, and shared his mother’s love for inventing. He grew up home schooled barely leaving his home other than running errands for his mother, and by the time he was eight he always encountered monsters which he only lived by the attacks because he just ran for his dear life. He barely had any friends and always low on money as no one really wanted what his father made. He grew up in Johannesburg and when he was a child he always was the one selling the newspapers on the corner to get some little cash he could scrape from the meagre selling’s he could get.

### Moving Around

Four years later, after moving around towns since his mother who was always looking for jobs, Malachi was at a temporary school when he got a new a janitor and for the next two months he got the sense that the Janitor was watching him and when his math teacher turned out to be a monster, the janitor saved him and afterwards the janitor dragged him into a car and drove off explaining everything about the Gods. It took them a month to get to camp, as they were on the other side of the country and the satyr had spent all his money on food and shelter. Most of the time they were fending off the monsters and the rest, taking night shifts when the other was asleep, though the satyr took longer turns as Malachi was under skilled, but Malachi always managed to wake up the satyr when a monster did come, and together they managed to kill the monsters but barely.

### Getting to Camp

They got to know each other well and the satyr taught Malachi the basic fighting skills to fend off the monsters when they came, though Malachi could never do it without the satyrs help, and in return Malachi gave the satyr small machines that could help him with the reeds, by making the notes stronger and louder and more forceful. The satyr had run out of money beforehand so they couldn't use a plane, and he arrived at camp when he was fourteen

## Personality

Malachi is extremely confident in his great running abilities and shows extreme delight for being able to outpace a pursuer of any demigod (Other than his brothers and Zack, of course). He is a valued member of the misfits, being both brave and clever. However, he is also haughty and slightly arrogant, and isn't afraid to tease or snap at his friends but has a good sense of logic and is proven to be a loyal friend. Like his half brothers, Malachi uses his blessing of speed to help other campers and get them to safety or being able to help many people at once. Malachi is harsh and fierce to transgressors when confronting those who do not respect the Gods. He is very independent and likes to train and be by himself, but he does love to be with his pseudo family. Despite Malachi’s usual tough and serious exterior, Malachi is okay with his friends hugging him (only once though) and really enjoyed playing in the snow and did so in a quite childish manner, being cautious so no one would see him being “cute” but started having fun with it with the family. Malachi will not hesitate to call out any of his friends if they start “acting up”. Malachi is also a very reliable demigod. He can be counted on to easily get the job done, in the morally correct way as well, but he is also a bit of a prankster. With his brothers, they can often be seen running around the town and playing pranks. Malachi is a very laid-back and "cool" person. He was always the troublemaker of his old schools and he loves to pull pranks on people, as well as make people laugh. Many of his friends (at his old schools) have described him as "one of the funniest kids". He is very curious, always asking about the latest songs or movies. Malachi is very easy to be friends with, he can keep secrets, and understands them.  His tendency to steal absentmindedly has often gotten him in trouble, but he is quite proud of his sly fingers despite that. He is quite adverse to physical contact of all kinds, though it takes time for him to open up. Malachi is typically a nice person to people he likes. He cares a lot about his friends and family and will do pretty much anything for them, even if he doesn’t exactly think things through first. When he loves or cares about someone, it’s either go big or go home with his emotions. He is very sarcastic. While he isn’t quite as sardonic with people he really likes, the sarcasm is extended to everyone he meets.

### Fatal flaw

Malachi's fatal flaw is his stubbornness. He never backs down from anything, but leads him to getting in trouble a lot

## Appearance

Malachi is often described by others to be a seventeen year old boy of blasian descent, specifically African American and Korean, getting these traits from his mother. Malachi is described as having smooth dark tanned skin, dark blue-ish eyes and curly and short brown hair. He is often described to be wearing a navy blue and fluffy sweater, a black shirt with a white cadesues on it, jeans, and dark blue high top converse that are winged and can turn into roller skates.
