Malice Swordshadow

Malice Swordshadow is a female charr living in the world of Tyria. Charr are large, animalistic people with hunched bodies, powerful muscles, feline faces, four ears, horns, and long fangs and claws. Malice has sleek, charcoal-grey fur, and a slender tail with thick fur all along its length. Malice is the Imperator of the Ash Legion, the legion's supreme commander. Because the Ash Legion specialises in subterfuge, this makes Malice the spymaster of the Charr race. The imperators of the other three legions are Malice's equals and rivals, and she greatly enjoys political games. Malice is extremely shrewd and knows a great deal about every important figure in Tyria. She is also a master assassin, and a skilled fighter with a dagger and pistol. In person, Malice is surprisingly laidback and soft-spoken, but she never fully trusts anyone, even those she gets intimate with. Malice doesn't get along well with Bangar Ruinbringer, the Imperator of Blood Legion, or with Smodur the Unflinching, the Imperator of Iron Legion. She knows that both of them want to take command of the whole Charr race if they get the chance, and she doesn't plan on giving them that chance. Malice wants to maintain good relations between the Charr and other species, because the Charr have been weakened by fighting on multiple fronts, and there are larger upcoming threats that they need allies to face. There are many intelligent species in Tyria, including humans and charr. Norn are human-like people over ten feet tall, who live in the icy mountains, have strong spiritual traditions, and sometimes transform into animal-like forms. Asura are extremely intelligent, goblin-like people with large ears, sharp teeth, and advanced magical technology. Sylvari are plant people with a human-like appearance and bodies that partly glow in the dark, all born from an enormous Pale Tree they call their mother. There are many other intelligent species, such as the centaurs, the ape-like grawl, the frog-like hylek, the bird-like tengu, and the rat-like skritt.
