Malum

"You are the trash of the desert. And I am the one who will celebrate at your grave.''"

- Malum to Tuma

Malum was an exiled Glatorian and one-time ally of the Fire Tribe.

History
Malum once was a Glatorian allied with the Fire Tribe, until he tried to kill Strakk in an arena match after Strakk was defeated, violating a code of law. He was exiled to the wastelands and deserts of Bara Magna where he was forced to wander. Malum also challenged other Glatorian for his personal gain while in the desert. He also became the alpha-male of a pack of Vorox sometime after his banishment. He and the Vorox later attacked Berix and three other Glatorian. He and his pack of Vorox later attacked a Skrall patrol. He was later captured by the Skrall, and it would seem that the Vorox miss him. He later escaped from Roxtus with other Vorox from his own pack that were captured. While Gresh was practicing the night before the Great Tornament, Malum (with some Vorox) warned Gresh that The Skrall were going to invade the arena, but didn't talk further, and walked away.

Personality
Malum was feared as the last being anyone would want to encounter. He also had a temper that was hard to control. Malum could be a very powerful enemy since he did not fear death, because he had nothing to live for.

Powers & Tools
Malum wielded Fire claws and a Thornax Launcher. He was equipped with a helmet and shoulder armor. He was also very strong.

Quotes
