Malum

Malum was born 392 years ago (Birth Name Elanor - Sun Star). She was born into what she thought was a well-off family in the Kingdom of Uthasil on the continent of Ostrov. She lived with her Father, Beleg (Mighty), Her mother, Ithil (Moon) and her older brother, Theoden (King). Malum was born very sick, because of this her family never cared for her, as to them this sickness was a sign of weakness and she was not worthy of being in the family. She was always a lot smaller than those around her, which she didn't mind at all due to the fact she learnt to deceive everyone and was excellent at hiding and becoming invisible, as to be able to disappear when her family was angry and in need of something (or someone) to take it out on, and Malum was there most favorite punching bag. Needless to say, Malum hated her family.

Over time, at about age 12, she befriended one of the butlers that served the family. He was an Elf whose father also once worked for the family before he passed away, his name was Areon. He was her best friend. Whenever she could she would escape her “tower” as they called it and go hide down in the barn where he taught her the art of throwing knives and how to properly use a bow and arrow. That is when she first learnt what love was, the art of using a bow became her only thoughts. They would train night and day for as long as possible, until one day at around age 15, her brother found them and told her father. Malum never saw Areon again after that, well for now. She went back to being all alone after that, and the beatings from her family just got worse.

What she didn’t know, and what she was about to find out about, was her family ran the second biggest crime ring in all of the Kingdom, and her Papa wanted the number one spot. So behind the scenes Beleg plotted with his wife and confidants on how to make that happen. He had recently found out about some information that pertained to one of the high members of the Golden Compass, the biggest crime ring in the Kingdom, and he planned a lot with this.

He ordered the family of the Crimelord, a man only known as the Blackdread, to be murdered in a house fire. The night of the fire, Beleg, Ithil and Theo all packed up their stuff quietly, locked Malum in her room and disappeared into the night.

Malum did not know what was going on when she awoke, and was still very confused when after 4 days no one had come to let her out of her tower.

On the 5th night, barely conscious from no food or water for almost a week, Malum thought she heard a commotion down stairs, and just before she lost consciousness altogether she saw her bedroom door get kicked in and a group of people all dressed in black brandishing weapons all bounded in.

Malum was brought before the Leader of the Golden Compass, the Blackdread, so the group could decide what to do with her. While all his members were in favor of killing her just as Beleg had killed his family. But The Blackdread, real Name Balerion Blackfyre, took pity on the child who looked as if she had given up on life all together. He told her it was because she reminded him of his daughter, but he also said it was because he could see the potential of a Burglar in Malum's size. Balerion then took her on as a ward, changing her name and showing Malum what a real father was meant to be. By the time Malum was 25 years old (Elf years still a child though) Balerion and Malum grew closer, and Malum had even been given Balerions last name and was known as Malum Blackfyre. And even though they lived the life of crime, Malum was the happiest she had ever been with her adopted father and family in the guild. She was trained in the way of a thief and even trained some of them on how to use a bow and arrow. Balerion raised her and trained her to be able to take over the family business one day. In honor of her “adoptive father” Malum had huge Dragon wings tattooed onto her back.

When Malum was 46 years old Balerion was killed when he went in to steal some jewels from the Royal Family. With that Malum took over the Golden Compass and they went underground for almost 4 decades where Malum changed the entire operation from the ground up and even renamed it to The BlackFyre Corporation. When Malum and the group resurfaced their networks had grown triple in size and they now had little birds everywhere and they slowly started taking over the crime guilds across the continent. Through this time range Malum was able to find and reconnect with Areon and welcomed him into the fold with open arms. Areon slowly climbed the ladder of the organization until he became second in charge of the division in Ostrov. By the time Malum was 190 years old she controlled the whole country, with ties that go all the way to the royal family themselves. She had never been happier, although anger had slowly grown in her over the past 172 year. She would always think about her real family, about how they left her, how they would use her as a punching bag.

With the network of spies, thieves and assassins in her organization Malum decided it was finally time to track them down, and take her revenge on them for stealing her childhood away and leaving her for dead. She also wanted to take revenge for Balerions wife and child who they took from him as well. Malum searched the continent for the next 130 years but even with all of her contact Malum never found them on the Continent of Ostrov.

After this Malum decided to spend the next 68 years traveling the Island Nations, trying to find any traces of her birth family at the same time as setting up contacts along the way. With no trace of them on the Island Nations Malum and 4 of her members headed across the sea to the Continent of Mor-Thir where they all spread across the different countries to start putting down roots, while Malum headed to Sunwood to start her hunt… TBA
