Malygos

Malygos was created by the Great Beings as a way to enforce the laws that they created. This is all anyone knows about Malygos's past, except that a Great Being killed herself creating him. He lay unconsious for many years, and finally awoke on the island of Zakaz. His intelligence earned him the status of a major warlord. He went overseas to pursue his fortune. His power then awoke on him. He could absorb other intelligent beings. His different forms include: Lord Magus Ansirem Runeweaver, preferred form, staff-wielding arcane mage Archlich Kel'thuzad, a master lich with no weapons of his own other than bony claws, and ice magic Nexus-Prince Haramad, an ambitious ethereal with similar power to Ansirem, but wielding an arcane sword. Deidara, a ninja who uses clay that, when activated, will explode with a burst from his chakra. Hydross the Unstable, a water elemental Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider, a blood elven mage with power over fire Mephisroth, a member of the Nathrezim class of demons with control over Shadow Gaara, his most recent form, a ninja with control over sand Malygos, his "true" form, part Skakdi and part Toa, with relatively little power. His TRUE true form, a young man with silver hair in a ponytail named Luneth. He swore his allegiance to Blackout after being imprisoned in the Pit by Zev Raregroove for his crimes against nobles of the world and freed. He seems to be quite fond of the being known as Ynot, and engages in many practice skirmishes.

He is known for seeming a bit silly, but it is not that, he merely finds the mortal conflict of the world amusing, and uses it to his advantage. He'd double-cross Blackout if it meant profit for him, but, as Blackout is king of the world, he is now locked in there. He only engages in pure anger when nearly defeated in battle, something that he thinks shouldn't happen. In battle, he is a formidable opponent, and tries to keep his distance casting spells on his opponent, using the terrain to his advantage.



Malygos appeared next to Xeno and Shika, and proposed an alliance to overthrow Blackout once and for all. Later, after the battle between him and Blackout, which ended in stalemate, he rejoined Blackout's ranks, and during the Battle of Darkmount, chose to fight Zev.

Malygos recently has been working with Anzu, Raven God of Darkness, and Little Washu, both of whom seem to be granting Malygos powers beyond his wildest dreams (well, Okay, it's pretty hard to go beyond Malygos's wildest dreams, but still.

Trivia

 * Ynot's nickname for Malygos is 'O'Mally'.
 * Zev's nickname for Malygos is usually 'Magoo', with a few others; most recently, he's used 'Ma Ma Se Ma Ma Sa Ma Ma Malygos-a', although that's a bit long. The next one will probably be 'Elf Lord'.
 * Malygos is one of the few beings that Zev actually so much as slightly fears. This is because Malygos is one of the very few beings that Zev can't completely predict or manipulate -- Zev can at least slightly manipulate Blackout, if he can get him angry enough. Zev can never tell what Malygos is thinking, and unlike others that have defected from Blackout, Zev knows that he couldn't bring Malygos to his side, because Zev really has nothing he could offer Malygos that would earn Malygos' allegiance. So, for the moment, Zev is simply happy to try and find ways to turn Malygos and Blackout against eachother, hopefully in a way that they'll kill eachother and leave the Revolutionaries as Zev's only rivalry for taking over the Galaxy.
 * Malygos tends to travel with a group that consists of his most trusted minions. It has had only two people at its least and currently has seven people other than himself in it.

Alternate Universes

 * In an alternate universe, Malygos forced Sasuken to act as a spy, and later beheaded the Makuta after he led him to Zev's base.
 * In the Shattered Mirror Universe, Malygos was the most charitable person in the world.
 * In another universe, Malygos became the next Kar of the Ta'har empire, but quickly lost the title to King Agrippa during a poker game.
