Born onto an island of good-hearted wolves and young, devoted parents. With God as their livelihood, held highest before all others, the islanders sing and praise and worship their king, safe from the strife, wars and filth of those of the mainland. The children of Sweetharbor are safe and at peace. Then, Malakai grows and his eyes are opened to the world beyond the peace of little his island home. Witnessing the fall of his parents (by the death of one and abandonment after continual mistakes of another) and ruin of his family has further fueled his bitterness and anger. He knows first-paw what inviting evil into your home and letting doubt in God will do.

As the crusaders long before him, Malakai grows up with the goal (and obsession) to be the "Messenger of God" which is the Hebrew meaning of his name. Law-abiding citizen, protector of the innocent and all things just. Protective to the point of overbearing towards those he loves, though his arrogance and "holier than thou" attitude (old testament vibes) only goes to show he loves no one above himself - other than God, of course. Kai wears the mask of a perfect knight in shinning armor, though truly is a cruel & selfish man. Will attempt to convert all pagans, infidels, heathens & non-believers. He strives to be feared & worshipped loved by all - to be the perfect son, the most devout & closest to God's divine image.
