Malakaus is going to have some pretty choice words for Aleph is he keeps up this delusion hero complex to the point that anyone who fights him must be "evil". Something of a gripe for him (And by extension me) are those who consider their actions to be "good or heroic" by virtue of the notion they're suppose to be a hero. Here is a [url=http://www.nerfnow.com/img/1583/2537.png]picture[/url] demonstration of how the usual "I am a hero" character plays out, in my experience.

Now I'm sure you're not intentionally trying to play him like that, or at least if you are you're aware of the flaws behind that line of reasoning. But nonetheless, Malakaus will stop this fighting. Ideally Aleph will too, because if he keeps fighting despite Malakaus telling him to, he'll have to fight the orc knight and Vesta. And while Vesta's full power could destroy a city, Malakaus' full power only kills one or several individuals at a time, depending on how many or near him. The fact he walked into this conflict without a weapon in hand is his first and only attempt to end this battle without further violence.
