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 second Glatorian and one-time ally of the Fire Tribe.

History
Malum once was a Glatorian allied with the Fire Tribe, until he, in a fit of rage, 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 as a punishment, 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 some years 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. After this, Ackar and Gelu learned that Bone Hunters planned to raid Vulcanus and tried to persuade Malum to defend his former home. Malum refused, until Ackar mentioned that the Hunters could wipe out Malum and his Vorox if they could wipe out Vulcanus. The three Glatorian used the Vorox to attack the Hunters' camp, which was somewhat successful. Malum has not been seen since.

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.

Quotes
"The desert is a place of extremes. Blazing heat, chilling cold, fierce loyalty... and deep hatred. The Skrall won’t forget this day... and to their bitter regret, neither will I."
