Malgor
The First Speaker and Shadowlord
Malgor, the First Speaker, was born from the Hero’s despair and longs to become his creator’s hero. His desire to end conflict becomes a justification for denying others a choice. He says countless failed attempts at persuasion led him to use Shadowflame to force peace. As the Shadowlord, he also makes himself an enemy the Hero’s allies can unite against, trying to give them a common purpose through their opposition to him.
His despair can make annihilation seem preferable to continued suffering. It drives him to try to extinguish the Mana Core and return everyone to nothing, yet he remains capable of hope. Tara describes the Mainyu form Einsof gives him as the person he might have become had the Hero raised him. His willingness to be sent back and reset preserves the present timeline at the cost of reliving the Shadowflame conflict himself.
