Mal, Retired Mercenary Captain
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile, This day shall gentle his condition; And gentlemen in England now-a-bed Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here, And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.
-Henry V by William Shakespeare

Character Information[]
Background[]
This genasi was captured at a young age by an adventuring party looking for oddities for the Library of Korranberg. For more than a decade, he was studied there. He wasn’t exactly a prisoner, but the option of leaving was never really presented.
Mal spent a good deal of his time studying. He wasn’t presented with other options. One day he caught the attention of an acquisitions expert from House Tharashk. Motivated by the Host knows what, this stranger decided that the young Genasi needed to be liberated. He “stole” the object of study and introduced him to the rest of the world. When asked for a name, the genasi presented the closest thing he had, “Anomaly.” This was almost immediately shortened to Mal.
Mal struggled to find a place in the world and traveled with his liberator for some time. It was only after observing a battle that he realized where his strengths lay and how he might donate them to his liberator and his house. Once he was finally given a chance to prove himself, Mal quickly rose through the ranks. Mal served as a mercenary captain for House Tharashk for years. He served them well in the Last War and was rewarded with his current armaments for exceptional service.
After deciding to retire, he was almost immediately set upon in a minor skirmish. The commander of the opposing force called for Mal’s head. Had it not been for Tock he surely would have perished. Realizing the blunder of announcing retirement he changed his plans to a simple change of occupation. He would set out adventuring instead. Tock’s father told Mal he would consider it a personal favor if he were to take his son out to see the world in a slightly less violent atmosphere. Mal asked if the man had ever actually met an adventurer, but eventually agreed.
Appearance[]
Age: 34 Gender: Male Height: 6'1" Weight: 203 lbs.
Long of leg and broad of chest, Mal looks every bit the soldier. His skin is the night sky away from the city and his features are accented by black geomantic lines crossing his body. A cloud of darkness, somewhat like smoke, rises from his head in a way that might resemble windblown human hair.
He bears several visible scars, new and old. The oldest have darkened from their normal crimson to the same black as his markings. These are slowly being incorporated into the overall pattern spanning his body.
Personality[]
Alignment: Unaligned
Mal has had a great deal of experiences in his life. He’s more than willing to share his thoughts, feelings, and stories. He cares greatly for those close to him and shows it in a protective, sometimes fatherly way. One of his favorite hobbies is cooking. He tries to cook for his troops at least one meal a week. As such he carries herbs, spices and assorted cookery.
Hooks[]
- Mal has been searching for somewhere to belong for ages. He has rarely met others of his kind, and they were generally suspicious of his intentions or afraid of what he might represent. As such he has spent a great deal of time in mercenary companies where he at least feels appreciated and less like a freak.
- Mal’s home was destroyed in his youth while he was away. He’s not yet met a survivor who might be able to tell him the fate of his parents or family.
Kicker[]
- Mal’s life was saved by Tock in a skirmish shortly before the two began adventuring. Mal feels that he owes Tock a debt and plans to repay it before they split company.
