amanda werner's adopted brother and an ardent fan of gerd frentzen. ridiculed frequently his school's delinquents, he skips classes to avoid being discriminated against due to his origins. eventually, he meets joseph, with whom he shares similar childhood experiences, and takes care of him after he is wounded during a battle with xat. distraught by gerd's destroyed reputation and the suicide of his only friend (who suffered from the same delinquents' actions), he is approached by beatrice and offered a pill much in the same way as gerd, becoming a demoniac as well. with his new powers, malik initially thinks that he is to be a protector of justice allowed to punish the oppressors of the weak in whatever way he sees fit, exacting revenge by killing the delinquents. he battles xat and joseph, before he is shielded against al and brad's sniping. escaping with joseph into the countryside, he tends to him until xargin appears and easily defeats him with such power that he slipped into a catatonic state. he is kept by zwölf as a research subject, though is eventually rescued by his sister and hermann. he wakes up during hermann's fight against beatrice, and is shielded from a mortal attack once again. he resolves to battle xargin again, and although he fares better, he was nonetheless weaker and was again beaten easily. years after joseph's death, during the finale, he is shown as a nineteen-year-old teenager, clothed in joseph's trademark coat and riding a red version of his gram motorcycle, equipped with an a.i. named maria.
