Lord Malus

"Human I am sorry but I must have your soul"
-Lord Malus, the Nether

History
Lord Malus was a Nord mortal descended to Godhood. He attempted to claim Allius' throne (the king of all Gods). He was cast down to the Nether realm where he used what power he could muster to break into Mytria and challenge King Tiberious the first in the early fourth era. This was known as the first war of Malus. Malus lost and he ran out of soul energy and could not transport himself to the mortal realm any longer, that was until King Tiberious died and Malus managed to harvest his soul: the soul of a true hero. With what energy that soul had he returned in this fifth era (the time Mytria takes place) and declared war on the mortal race once more.

Soul Power
Soul power is what Lord Malus uses to transport from the Nether realm to the mortal realm. He had some soul power built within him but that grew stronger when he harvested the soul of Lord Tiberious who had a hero's soul. With that power hr began to make his army: the Deathriders.

The Deathriders
The Deathriders are Malus' army. They are shells of kidnapped mortals taken from their homes. His army was first constructed when he attacked Pacem. With the help of these skeletal minions he had more strength behind him then the first war of Malus making him more likely to succeed.

Personality
Lord Malus is not the scary demonic demon he might seem (at least in his first form). His first form (as pictured above) mimmicks his human self making him more human then the player will expect. He actually enjoys the beauty of nature and will not come across threatening until in battle where he turns to his second form (see right of this paragraph).
