Biography

Drow Civil War

Maloch eventually became the de facto leader of the Drow, though many blamed him for their being cursed. Eventually, their misplaced hatred led to a drow civil war, in which the father of Jandanero, Jandantuul was killed. Thus the drow factions chose matriarchal leaders, as the first of the cursed and the one who they see as having led them astray was a male.

Personality

After the Battles of Rending, in order to gain some power in his life, he gave into excess; killing many along the way. Despite his many crimes over his thousands of years of life, Maloch is an honorable person. He genuinely wants to repent for his crimes, showing a strong desire to return to his beloved church. Though he led a band of Drow when he met Roland, he was just a follower leading followers.

Roland's Path

Several thousand years after the events of Death of a City, Birth of a Curse, Maloch encounters Roland, the distant descendant of Lord Ivant.

Roland spared Maloch's life, and Roland and his band were permitted to leave.^{[citation needed]}

It was revealed in "Where did it come from? Wednesday! #9 that the single combat between Roland and Maloch 'actually happened'. Maloch began as an NPC (Non-Player Character). Roland was a low-level character, played by R.J. Hanson. Due to a lucky initiative attack, AND multiple crit rolls, Roland cut off Maloch's leg and thus the party was able to escape.
