[color=gray]Mal is adorned in heavy buckled leather armor with the bright red scapular of the Templars that drapes to his knees. On his shoulders are bulky pauldrons that lead to thick "sleeves" of armored plates. It ends at his bare fingers, nails well taken care of but blood underneath the edges. Around his waist is a thick belt with a few, empty stretched-out loops that lead to ones filled with bright blue lyrium potions. Also on his hip is a large, rain-proof satchel that seems to be stuffed to the brim with vellums, scrolls, and a tome. Around his legs are thick, laced leather pants that trail into calf-high boots with metal toes that have seen better days. On his back is a shortsword with intricate runes carved on them, and on his hip across from the satchel containing his paperwork, is an Orlesian shortsword. He also a quiver stuffed with red-feathered arrows and a bow strung over his shoulder. Despite the high collar of his undershirt, one can still make out the curvature of a necklace that he wears underneath his armor. On top of his head is an Orlesian hat made from thick leather with a wide brim and an old red feather pinned to it.[/color]

[color=gray]Mal isn't the sort to be guarded, his armor does that well enough. He usually has his hands on his hips or is thumbing through his notes--possibly penning more. If someone wishes to engage him in conversation, he'd be more than glad to. His smile is welcoming, but it's also [I]very[/i] Orlesian. There's a way he tilts his chin up to look down at you that tells you the conversation is for his importance and not your own. Beyond that, he's quick to place a hand on his mace and pick at the leather straps in anticipation.[/color][/indent][/indent][hr][sup][sub][h2]| [color=#caaf82]𝐂 𝐇 𝐀 𝐑 𝐀 𝐂 𝐓 𝐄 𝐑   𝐈 𝐍 𝐍 𝐄 𝐑 𝐖 𝐎 𝐑 𝐊 𝐈 𝐍 𝐆 𝐒[/color] |[/h2][/sub][/sup]

[color=gray]To talk to Mal, one would assume that his reasoning for being here would solely be duty. Yet, an Orlesian templar from a Free Marches Chantry might raise a few brows. Unlike the rest of his Circle-
Bound brethren, there's something a bit different about the way that Mal takes to his templar nature.[/color]
𝐂𝐀𝐏𝐀𝐁𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐄𝐒 [color=#caaf82]| [/color]
[color=gray][list][*][u]Personable[/u]- No one will accuse the templar of being off-putting at first glance. [*][u]Goal-Oriented[/u]- Good luck getting Mal away from tending to his duties and assignment. [*][u]Faithful[/u]- Nothing will sway him from the Chantry or his commitment to the Templars. [/list][/color]𝐅𝐋𝐀𝐖𝐒 [color=#caaf82]| [/color]
[color=gray][list][*][u]Haughty[/u]- Years in the Orlesian Court will do that to someone. [*][u]Self-Aggrandizing[/u]- If you want someone that will tell their story with bravado and poignancy, it's him. He'll even do an amazing job of downplaying anyone else's accomplishments. [*][u]Without Remorse[/u]- Maleficarum, or not, if someone is practicing magic outside the reach of the Chantry, it's Mal's duty to bring them in. No sob story will deter him. More determinantal being that he's fine doing this to allies as well. [/list][/color]𝐕𝐈𝐂𝐄𝐒 [color=#caaf82]| [/color]

[color=gray]Mal would never fail at his duties and lead others into unnecessary harm. It wouldn't look good for his reputation. It's hard to say if what he does is altruistic or ignoble of others' struggles, but he will never stand by and let blood magic wreak havoc.[/color][/indent][/indent][hr][sup][sub][h2]| [color=#caaf82]𝐖 𝐀 𝐑 𝐑 𝐈 𝐎 𝐑[/color] |[/h2][/sub][/sup]

[color=gray][indent]Mal does not use his abilities to tend to demons, but instead hunts down those who use the art of blood magic to commit heinous rituals. He's spent some time learning of them, reading about apostates and hedge mages that have used this dark art in the past. His lyrium-fueled abilities are about nullifying magic and not letting magic affect him. This doesn't mean he's an impenetrable shield because his powers only extend as long as the lyrium dosage. But in that short time, one has to face him on the physical battlefield.[/indent][/color]
