Malleus Draconia

Malleus is a considerably tall young man with pale skin. He has cool-black hair that’s mostly cut mid-length, with long bangs and two longer sections of hair on his sides that fall over his shoulders. He also has one small cowlick on the top of his head. The bottom ends of his hair fade into a dark turquoise color. He has bright green eyes with vertical-slit pupils and long eyelashes. His lips are a slightly darker color than his skin, and he usually wears what appears to be subtle dark eyeshadow.

His most unique features are his pointed, elf-like ears, and long black horns on the top of his head. His horns are covered in small ridges, and curve back in an s-shape. Sharp fangs are shown when his mouth is open. He is often seen with a serious expression, or a mysterious smile. Malleus has been described by many students and even other housewardens to have a powerful aura that wards away most people from approaching him. He also doesn’t get too friendly as he speaks, his calm, respectful yet cold tone always remaining and even those who want to get closer to him (like Silver or Sebek) fail to do as much as they wish to. Combining these factors with Malleus's altered perception of punctuality as a fae has resulted in him being left out of most invitations to ceremonies and events.

Malleus himself does not interact closely with other students beyond Lilia, Silver, and Sebek, but this is mostly due to others being scared and avoiding him. And although Malleus doesn't have any issues with talking to others, he also got used to being feared or even hated, which has only resulted in his further isolation. Despite enjoying time alone, away from his concerned and watchful attendants in exploring abandoned buildings, Malleus shows signs of loneliness and a desire to connect normally with others. He is also said to have a naïve and childish side to him, as he grew up isolated from the outside world in Briar Valley. One of the reasons why he's attending the school is because Lilia is trying to hold him back from complete isolation. Though Malleus's knowledge about magic is already far greater than anything he could learn at the school, Lilia believes he still has a lot to learn and that knowledge isn't everything - and Malleus is also shown to be open to try out new things.

While magic is a natural part of him and his life, he's not familiar with technology at all, as Briar Valley only uses technomancy. Due to this, he finds technology complicated, and also impressed by those who understand it.[1] He also seems protective over the things that are dear to him, like how he's taken care of his tamagotchi for many years and was willing to ask anyone for help to fix it when it stopped working.

ALTHOUGH IN SHORT

Malleus is a complex and multifaceted character, embodying both a regal and commanding presence and a genuine curiosity about the world around him. Despite his fearsome reputation, Malleus shows signs of kindness and compassion, possessing a strong sense of justice and a desire to protect those he cares about.
