Mental characteristics
Personal history
Master of the battlefield, Malcolinus made a name for himself in the Siege of Orzammar during the Ferelden Rebellion. He opened Orzammar's gates to the Commons in an apparent surrender, but unbeknownst to the invading Orlesians, he had his men spend the previous month turning the Commons into a death trap. With his men stationed underground and just outside the gates, the Orlesian chevaliers were wiped out, to the last man, no quarter given. This reputation as a brutally efficient and cold commander continued through many of the other fights her participated in throughout his long military career.
Accomplishments & Achievements
Malcolinus was not booksmart, but his skill in tactics and planning were unmatched. Though he never was able to attend a Grand Tourney, he was likely one of the most experienced soldiers in all of Thedas. His name is recognized throughout Ferelden, either through hearsay or direct interaction as he worked his way through Orlesian slavery and was a major contributor to the country’s liberation.
Personality Characteristics
Vices & Personality flaws
Malcolinus was known to have an insatiable lust. Though he had three children, it was well-known that each child had a different mother. Some of Malcolinus's enemies would claim that there are many more of his heirs that are not known about and that he instead had to pay off many women to keep quiet about the children they bore for him. He always publicly denied such claims.

Quotes & Catchphrases
“When you defeat your enemy, the victory must be absolute. If your enemy can get back up again, you’ve already lost the war.”
“A warrior lives for greatness... Not of blood-kin nor love, not of kingdom nor king… no.... a warrior lives to parry Death’s cold scythe as it swings towards your fellow soldiers. That is the greatness I have trained you for...”
(Following Calenhad's duel for Kingship of Ferelden) “Calenhad… to lose a warrior such as Simeon would weaken the growing Ferelden. I know you might consider him treacherous, but I bid you spare his life when you defeat him today. I ask not only because he is my friend, but also because I believe he would lay his life down for you and this kingdom in the future.”
