Malo¶
Malo, whose Eldritch name is Nae'Malocan, was an Eldritch Knight who served Allannia Vaj'zaelin in the guise of a black-haired Oesterkull. In the besieged city of Pemeril in Alghert he fought beside the Keepers of Abaddon and powered most of the wards that held the demons back, until he was killed. His caste name, Nae, marks a knight, watchman, warrior or soldier.
Also called: Nae'Malocan.
In Pemeril¶
When Alghert became the site of a war between demons and devils around a great Hollow, Malo "has been helping the Keepers of Abbadon in Pemeril." He carried "a black, glowing 2 handed sword." Among the Keepers he stood equal with the disguised demon Apuuk under Commander Ailen Vester, but "he an Apuuk don't really get along … they know something is off about each other and don't trust each other." Ailen disliked both and was often forced to referee.
His real purpose was the Mithis Heartstone, a part of which lies hidden in Alghert. He "knows about the Heartstone, but not the details," and worked to learn what he could from the king. He kept "many other agents in Pemeril and the kingdom": the dwarf Nate Ironhand investigated for him, the spy Epher worked for him with a partner, Edmur, and he took High Priest Athaff captive.
Death¶
Malo was killed in battle in Pemeril, and Apuuk with him. Their deaths broke the city's defences: "they were holding the hollow at bay. Esp Malo who was powering most of the wards." The North Ward failed, devils came through into Northside, much of the city guard deserted, and the royal guard sealed the castle. The fight that killed him belongs to the Sancturi Campaign.
Gap
The sources do not say how Malo came to Allannia's service, when he woke, how many of his soulcruxes were freed, or what became of his sword. The battle notes list "16 eyes, 6 large tentacles, 1 mouth" just after his entry without saying whether this was his own true form.
