Fun fact: This picture was actually drawn specifically for this character.[/hider]
Dresses pretty simply most of the time, jeans and a gray button down shirt. Has a heavy long coat he likes to wear over top, which helps conceal the equipment he usually has hanging from his hip or under his arm. Often wears his graying hair in a little bun on top of his head, underneath his hat, an older styled officer's cap in purple. 
Personality: Genial and gregarious, in a quiet sort of way. Smokes and drinks heavily, and enjoys sharing these habits with whoever happens to be nearby. Intensely loyal and obedient, takes chain of command seriously. 
Skills: A fairly proficient fighter in most modes of combat. Sort of "jack of all trades, master of none" in that regard. Can act with a commanding presence that the captain tends to lack. 
Equipment: Sting '25. A hilariously outdated military grade blaster pistol. Retractable vibro-blade. 
Gravity Masher: Manipulates gravity at a localized level. Can lift things, make things heavier, make things "fall sideways" etc. 

Brief Backstory: Was born and raised in a small, out of the way military dictatorship. When he was fifteen he was conscripted into their army, but he was fortunate enough to make powerful friends early on, and was bumped up to the officer class. No matter what position he held, however, he was never cut out for that life. He was barely twenty years old when he had a psychotic break and joined the open rebellion against the police state. A good portion of the troops who were under him joined as well, inspired by him, and with their help the war quickly ground to a crushing end, both sides obliterated beyond recognition. In the end, both rebels and loyalists fled their wasted home planet. Some sought citizenship elsewhere, but many military deserters turned to piracy. 
Malachi served on many ships and crews in the twenty years since, but when The Illustrious Yuriko(a name Black will say without a hint of sarcasm) found him, he was a destitute drunk. He joined her crew out of a sad desperation, but she saw something worthwhile in him. 
Position in Crew: First Mate
