[color=a36209]Character Bio & Backstory:[/color]
Malcom grew up in a broken home. His father was a raging alcoholic, who regularly abused him and and his mother. When he was 12 his mother left, and he left not long after. Those years on the street were extremely difficult, but eventually he found his way into a criminal outfit and for the first time, he had a proper family. Everyone there took care of each other, and worked together for the success of the group. However, that feeling of family was merely a deception. One day, during a standard burglary, the homeowner walked in on the gang. As they turned to run, all malcolm could think of was the success of the job, and shot the homeowner dead. He felt no remorse, only that he had done what needed to be done. Later, the group was busted in a sting operation. In exchange for a lighter sentence, his "family" sold him out as the murderer to the police. He was sentenced to rot in prison, and that was the end of his story, if not for the zombie outbreak. As chaos and fear mounted, the prisoners overwhelmed the security and managed to break free. Malcom ran as well, leaving everything he was behind, hoping that the tragedy would give him a fresh start. The only thing he took was the handgun of a fallen prison guard.
