Malacath (Dark Heritage)

Malacath, the Daedric Prince of the Spurned and the Ostracized, also known as the Lord of Hatred and the Keeper of the Sworn Oath, is one of the four Prime Evils appearing in the Dark Heritage universe.

Appearance
Malacath appears as a giant, athletic Orsimer. Glowing cracks visible all over his stone-like skin. He has a pair of white-glowing eyes and black hair tied up into a tail falling down onto his neck.

Personality
Full of uncontrollable wrath, hatred and fury, Malacath could be considered next to his brother and kin Mehrunes Dagon to be the most destructive of his siblings in the Daedric pantheon. However, unlike most of his brothers and sisters, Malacath also possesses a unique sense of honour, willing to give his foes a fair fighting chance. He also looks to his followers as if they were of his own flesh and blood, showing a more paternal concern for those who worship him.

Biography
Alongside Molag Bal, Malacath is one of the youngest of the Daedric Princes. His entire existence and essence shaped during the middle of the Mythic Era from one of Padomay's severed heads, hidden deep beneath the facade of creation itself.

Though various sources of the Daedric Prince's origin exists and often conflicts with each other, the most widely known source is that of scribe and former Vigilant Owyne Segarius, and his written conversations with death-sentenced cultists taken prisoners from various Daedric shrines. During the Oblivion Crisis he was tasked with the invasion of Skyrim. A work he personally found pleasure in, bringing vengeance upon the Nords for their centuries of warfare against the Orcs.

Upon his defeat at the foot of the Throat of the World, his spirit was imprisoned within a soul gem and taken to be safekept within the catacombs of the Shadowscale Temple outside of Lilmoth in Black Marsh. To this day, his soul gem is the only one whose presence and whereabouts are currently known.
