Malcolm

Our loving protagonist was born in the city of Mordred to parents Adlai and Lorelei. All was fine and dandy until ________ unleashed the War-Wyrm Chaos to destroy Mordred and surrounding cities! In the ensuing chaos, both Adlai and Lorelei were slain and Malcolm was alone. Opal, a young girl who happened to find Malcolm, _____________ and ______________.

He was taken in by Adriel and Nalia in the small village of Grovedale. When he was 4, Nalia's disease finally killed her and poor Adriel lost his marbles. Right before he was sent away, Adriel gave his adopted son his War Service Ring for the Kingdom of Rain, which turned out to be one of Malcolm's most prized possessions. When Adriel was sent to Prison Gate's Institution for the Mentally Corrupt, the money-hungry mayor of Grovedale, ____ ______, sold Malcolm into basic slaver to the highest bidder, who just so happened to be a young businessman by the name of Ezekiel Roaper.

For most of his life up until the games beginning, Malcolm has worked for Roaper. He feels a huge amount of anger and hatred for the man, and knows literally nothing about his past. Losing his parents and working as a slave has caused him to forget most of his happy past, plaguing his dreams with haunted memories and allowing him rest for only a couple of hours a night. His only good memory is concerning the ring he carries from Adriel, (of which he has literally no memory at the game's beginning) and the thought of escaping his bonds and searching for where the ring came from. It is this that (among other things) drives him towards Dulegun after his run-in with Roaper.

After running into some trouble in Dulegun, Malcolm decides to join the freelance warriors for hire of the Kingdom of Rain and clear his name. Adriana and Ed decide to follow him because they really don't have much else to do. This starts the main quest-line and sets up later events.

At the end of Act I: A Calling, Malcolm finds Adriel, the original owner of the ring he has carried, and lets the man finally find peace. However, when searching Adriel's residence, Malcolm finds not answers, but only more questions as he learns that Adriel was not his actual father. It is at this point that Malcolm continues his quest for knowledge of his own past. As he gets closer to unveiling these elusive answers, he finds that he can travel into a parallel world, one that is warped and broken.

Malcolm is the key to traveling to the Mirror Plane. He must be with the party when they travel through. If he is out of the party for whatever reason, they cannot pass through.
