Malcolm
, once a great herbalist and healer of
Norgate Fief
, became better known as the mysterious sorcerer
Malkallam
. Despite being rumored to be a dark sorcerer, he was actually a great help to the characters on more than one occasion.
History
Malcolm is a talented healer, being able to cure almost any disease/poisoning; however, after one of his patients, a 15-year-old boy, dies from a rare reaction to a cure for a simple fever, a rival healer accuses him of having let the boy die. After people began to avoid him and show hostility toward him, he fled to the mysterious
Grimsdell Forest
where he knew nobody would follow, and surrounded himself with strange apparitions like the
Night Warrior
; sounds that come from all directions; and multiple warning signs. He began taking in disfigured and deformed people whose villages didn't want them anymore, including
Trobar
and
Luka
.
He also plays an important part in the battle for
Castle Macindaw
, providing a distraction that enables
Horace
and
Will
to attack the other side of the castle. It involved conjuring up the Night Warrior, the use of explosives, as well as getting his people to bash together saucepans so that it sounded as if a whole army was massed, ready to attack the castle, while the real attack was coming from another side.
