Helimbraun's only child.<br/><br/>His father, Tanthalas Aeredeth, is a moon elf wizard who lived in one of the elven communities that surrounded Waterdeep.  His mother, Patricia Natalie Indsend, was a retired Knight of Imprhas II, the elite order of knights in Impiltur.<br/><br/>How Malakai-or Amrath to those who knew him by his elven name-came into being is a simple tale.  Khelben Arunsun, lord of Waterdeep and head of the Moonstars sent a call to several countries for a meeting in Waterdeep concerning the Moonstars organization.  Khelben would have sent for Moonstar agents to discuss with the various countries throughout Faerun, but he wanted to discuss with each representative all at once and so he sent a mass invitation throughout Faerun, even offering free transportation to those who asked for it.  One said country was Impiltur, and it was agreed that they would send a representative.  Patricia was assigned as a guard detachment for the representative of Impiltur who was going to be sent to Waterdeep.<br/><br/>Tanthalas, at the moment worked with the Moonstars in Waterdeep and was asked to participate and assist with the coming meetings planned in Waterdeep.<br/><br/>Both Tanthalas and Patricia met during one of the several meetings and talks.  The two eventually went to a nearby tavern and had a few drinks...a few too many and by the time it was said and done, the two were in bed and had done the deed.  At the time they did not believe they would have a child and so bid each other farewell after the talks.  Shortly after the talks were over and Patricia began to settle back to her duties as a knight she began to develop the signs of pregnancy.  Knowing full and well that she was pregnant with Tanthalas' child she sent a message to him to let him know of her upcoming return to Waterdeep so that the two of them could raise the child together.  Patricia notified her Lord-who was a younger Lord Helimbraun at the moment-and while he was not pleased to hear of this, her service and dedication to Impiltur and the Knights of Impiltur and the Knights of Imphras II could not be ignored either and so gave her an honorable discharge from her service as a knight.<br/><br/>Eventually, Patricia returns to Waterdeep and is brought into the elven community that Tanthalas lived in.  She gives birth to Malakai who is given the name Amrath in the elven community.  Patricia, knowing the scars of war and battle, and Tanthalas knowing the same, wanted something better for their son and had him taught in some of the finer schools in Waterdeep hoping that their son would have a better life in the world and not have to see the bitter parts of life as much.<br/><br/>Malakai was a studious learner and a hard worker in the elven community, despite him not feeling truly a part of the community due to his differences to the elven children who matured slower than he did.<br/><br/>When Malakai was nearing adulthood, Patricia and Tanthalas agreed that perhaps having him be married to another half-elf would be a wise thing to do since while half-elves are welcomed in both human and elven lands they also do not fit into either that well and at worst simply tolerated.  So, the two found a young girl, Sriani and agreed with Sriani's grandparents to have her be married to Malakai.  This was all said and good, however, Sriani jumped ship with the idea and left without much of a trace.<br/><br/>Malakai did not take such actions well, and grew a bit more aggressive and focused more on the martial aspects of elven life frequently.  Eventually he honed his anger, and grew to have a love for the martial aspects of life.  Malakai convinced both his parents to pay for half of his tuition to go to the Academy of Arms in Athkatla, Amn so that he could find ways to improve himself, and learn to hone more of his rage and anger and make it a positive force than a negative force.<br/><br/>Malakai eventually returned to Waterdeep after his training was over, and when he returned both him and his mother received word of a call to arms in Impiltur due to a demon outbreak happening in the country.  Patricia, though older, no longer carrying Malakai in her womb, still felt a since of pride to her country and to the Crown of Impiltur and with her husband's blessing began preparations for making the trek back to Impiltur.  Malakai remembering the stories his mother told of Impiltur and feeling a righteous fervor asked to go with his mother.  Tanthalas and Patricia grudgingly agreed since it was his life afterall.<br/><br/>When both mother and son successfully made it to Impiltur, both immediately went to support the kingdom in what ways they could:  To fight the demons.  During the time, Malakai was introduced to Lord Helimbraun by his mother and was eventually asked to join the Knights of Impiltur and to serve under him after showing his worth on the battlefield.  Malakai was honored and agreed to serve under his mother's Lord as well.<br/><br/>All good things must come to an end however, and this was the start of Malakai's fall.<br/><br/>During the end of the outbreak, Patricia fell in combat fighting several demons.  Malakai was grief-stricken but still fought on.  When the battle was over, his mother though a former knight was not given a proper burial as the other knights were.  She was simply thrown into the mass burial mound as the others who fought but were not knights.  This, angered Malakai as he saw that not only his mother fought bravely but several of these other men and women did too, but were simply thrown into a mass body pile.<br/><br/>Malakai began looking more and more into the flaws of Impiltur, for this land was not the land his now deceased mother told him about.  The more he looked into the flaws, the latent corruptness, and the laziness of the rulers, the more he grew angry and infuriated at Impiltur and the Triad, the chief deities worshiped in the knighthood, since if these churches were good and pure, why haven't they tried to intervened?!<br/><br/>The final step away from the light was when Malakai fought the woman known as Caitlyn during a skirmish battle against the Zhentarim.  He challenged Caitlyn to an honorable duel, with the loser having to retreat the battle.  The two fought long and hard and whether due to divine intervention or luck, Caitlyn began to get the upper hand.  Just when Malakai was the one to appear to be the one to fall, another knight, Sir Gregory attacked Caitlyn out of fear and knocked her out.  Her forces retreated after seeing her fall, and Caitlyn was left alone.  Malakai was content to let her go, but the others questioned his fitness as a knight and so he grudgingly took Caitlyn as a prisoner.<br/><br/>Lord Helimbraun ordered Caitlyn to be stripped of nearly everything and to rot in a cell while he and the rest of the Council of Lords began discussing a prisoner exchange with the Zhentarim.<br/><br/>During that time Malakai would frequently visit Caitlyn, making certain she was at least given some sort of good treatment, such as giving her a blanket to keep her warm and giving her part of his share of food.  During these time the two would talk to each other, at first it was just hostile discussion, but eventually, Caitlyn's words sank into his soul as he saw how she, a supposedly vile witch, behaved and fought with more honor than many throughout the order in Impiltur.  Eventually, Malakai secretly converted to worship Bane all the while plotting for the downfall of Helimbraun and to bring his new love, Rosalind to realize the words and teachings that he has now embraced and shaped to his code of honor.<br/><br/>Rosalind did view Malakai's vision as something good and so she too supported Malakai, though in secret due to being Helimbraun's only child.  The two had their love and their vision of reshaping Impiltur.  With the love and support from Rosalind and the teachings of Caitlyn, Malakai's new order for Impiltur would have eventually happened had for not a few unforeseen circumstances occurred.<br/><br/>The first was some of the knights saw Malakai's dark transition, the second was them discovering some letters he was writing to the Zhentarim, and the third was the passion in his pants and his inability to control that passion for Rosalind and his lack of oversight in terms of making certain that when he did deflower Helimbraun's daughter that everyone in the castle would have been loyal to him over Helimbraun.<br/><br/>These three issues is what has caused Malakai to be thrown in irons and locked away in the same cell as his adviser is in.</div></div>
