Physical Description

Notable Equipment & Belongings
Malkoth wears an amulet of obvious infernal design, which he uses as an arcane focus for his spellcasting. Based on events that have unfolded surrounding this amulet, the party has deduced that it was originally created about 1,000 years ago by Mahadi as a control mechanism for the Imlaq Colossus. Mahadi later gave the amulet as a gift to Louche. It was subsequently stolen by Natalie Shaw, who handed it down to Lane Coronato, who left it with Miriam Arkin. it was given to Malkoth on his tenth birthday.

Strengths & Capabilities
Malkoth has demonstrated the ability to cast arcane magic, with a focus on the school of conjuration and fire magic.

Flaws & Weaknesses
Malkoth has exhibited a seemingly uncontrollable ability to cast conjuration magic beyond the scope of his normal power, but an inability to reliably maintain control of the magic he creates in this way.

Immanuel Belder
According to Malkoth, he was mentored in the arcane arts by the town wizard of Hillenbrook, Immanuel Belder. According to Odell, Belder was a former member of the Weavers Conclave, although Malkoth seemed to be unaware of this fact.

Lane Coronato
Malkoth received a letter from Lane Coronato, who claimed to be his father, and wanted to meet. When they met in Karaad, Lane told Malkoth about his heritage, and claimed that he would like to build a relationship with him. However, during their conversation, Lane stole Malkoth’s infernal amulet and disappeared. At later meetings, Lane has offered to teach Malkoth how to master his uncontrolled magic abilities.

Natalie Shaw
According to Lane Coronato, Natalie Shaw was his mother, and by extension, Malkoth’s grandmother. Lane described Natalie as an adventurer who had a tryst with a very powerful devil, resulting in his birth.

Odell
Malkoth was a traveling companion of Odell for an unknown amount of time before the campaign began. The two seem to have a friendly relationship, and a shared interest in arcana.

Rye
Rye claims to be the father of Lane Coronato, and by extension, the grandfather of Malkoth.

Story
Malkoth is from a small farming town called Hillenbrook, where he lived with his mother. On a recent occasion, a group of bandits attacked Hillenbrook. During the attack, these bandits killed his mother, Miriam. Malkoth somehow summoned a fire elemental - an arcane feat far beyond his capability - which killed the bandits and saved the town; however, he lost control of the elemental shortly thereafter, and it ended up killing the son of the town's mayor. Malkoth was blamed for the child's death, and the mayor wanted him charged with murder, so he fled, and is now being pursued by forces from Hartwell.
