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 normal form, part Skakdi and part Toa, with relatively little power. 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.

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'.

Alternate Universes

 * In an alternate universe, Malygos forced Sasuken to act as a spy, and later sliced off the Makuta's head after he led him to Zev's base.
