Clothing Style: Most often Malachi is in suits, or the remains of a suit from his work day, to the point that it is easily guessed that he only owns suits. Which is in fact mostly true, he also has uniforms for the Usagi as well of course, along with mask as is needed for his clan. Easier to keep that on hand for when he is called and needed, otherwise suits are the staple of his life. Inside of work he looks impeccable, his suits are tailor made for him so they do fit perfectly on him. Malachi chooses to co with the classic black style because it is professional and universal, along with white dress shirts that alas have to be tailor made because he had long arms. His shoes are not the typical dress shoes because they need to hold up better for him, so while they are black and he does try to keep them polished and professional as possible. It does seem to be only some days that he bothers with a black dress vest, though it is not rare, more a thing for colder weather though. 



Likes:

• professionalism in the work place
• respect that is earned, not freely given
• having free time open to him 
• a cold glass of whiskey after a long day
• surprising people that underestimate him
• when things go right in a work day
• managing a crisis in a calm and orderly manner
• helping out fellow coworkers or clansmen
• sprawling across his bed to relax
• spending time with Brooklyn 

Dislikes:

• people shortening his name without permission
• shortcuts taken in doing work
• working overtime due to someone's mistake
• just how foolish the prime minister really is
• not currently having a King and having to work around that
• being dismissed out of hand 
• anyone that forces a physical fight to start
• those stupid hot days that make everything sticky
• not having time for midday meals on busy days
• assumptions made without fact to back a guess

Strengths:

• he is a member of the Usagi for a reason, in battle Malachi is a sound tactician and rather graceful fighter when pushed
• sharp minded and always able to think himself out of situations, he cane come up with sound plans with very little warning to help in a crisis 
• level headed and calm minded to an extreme, stress seems to in fact only make him calmer and he works better in crisis 

Weaknesses:

• Brooklyn distracts him more than anything else possible, generally at all the wrong times even, he is the only person that can make Malachi lose his train of thought completely 
• tends to put others ahead of himself far too often, from trying to help others with paperwork or picking up the slack of others, to outright putting himself in harms way to protect someone
• is the most awkward person you will find if a woman flirts with him, like will stutter and escape as soon as possible if they do not stop even he asks, even if needing to be rude in the process

Fears/Secrets: Is scared of women in a sexual sense, for good reason really, but yes this is a real fear, yes it makes him freeze up. Why is a secret, as he is not going to go freely admitting how much of a creep his mother was, thankfully she is in jail and will not be getting out. 

Habits:

• almost always misplaces his glasses, which is annoying, he does not always need them except for details but still annoying
• work really does come first for him, so might forget to eat or well go home when in the middle of a project
• does daily sparing and weapons training to keep in top form, even if lacking a King for the time being 
• not rare to find him calmly in a bar some nights with a single glass on hand, or playing pool with strangers
• not one for using unnecessary words but there is a difference in wasting words and small talk

Personality: Most people tend to take in the cold dedication that Malachi shows and immediately jump to conclusions. Which he prefers over someone judging him based off his looks because really that is a fast way for him to in fact look down his nose at someone. He is dedicated, extraordinarily so, work is really his fall back in his life, it is what pulled him from depths he never wants to visit again. So of course he is committed. Anyone that has one thing in life that holds them together or pulled them from a dark place would be the same. It helps that Malachi honestly loves his work, oh he might have some disdain for the Prime Minister but he shows proper manners, as expected of him, and does his work without wavering because he wants to. There are other details that can be so easily overlooked however, like that he always stocks extra food in the breakroom because he knows half the interns simply will not eat instead of admit they are broke. He is likely the first one to notice a coworker got a haircut or new shoes and compliment them just because he knows it is the little details and compliments that can matter the most. True he will sigh at any outside forces cutting into work, wasting time is frowned upon but talking while working is just fine. 

Outside of work he is different, looser in a sense really, more free to open up and hold to less personal rules. Course it also shows that he is in fact a bit of a mother-hen, like to perfect strangers, Malachi is of the mindset that if he can help someone he should. Karma in a way, and because he would hope that someone would do the same for him, because he can help he wants to help. To improve one person's day makes his day better. His sense of humor can be a bit random and off center, darker than most might think from him even. But well work life should not reflect casual life, nor should they mix in his eyes. So yes inside of work he can be cold and impossible to deal with personally, outside of work he is much more relaxed and willing to let go of a few rules. While not exactly a social butterfly he is over all preferring the company of others, even just a few people to hold casual conversation with over being alone somewhere. 





Birthplace: Tokyo

Family: Not that he acknowledges 

History: Malachi has a messed up childhood, he has just made peace with this factor, he managed to not let it stop him life and in the end that is what matters. His father was a kind man but easily controlled and pretty much under his wife's thumb, he worshiped the ground she walked on, and in his eyes was a perfect person. She was not a perfect person at all, she abused her husband, mentally and emotionally instead of physically, but all the same she broke and shaped him and used him. She was pissed when she become pregnant, it was an accident, she had been on a prescription for being sick and it messed with her birth control. She was vivid and blamed her husband, and then she blamed the baby when he was born. Saw him as ruining her life, ruining her body image and draining her money, distasteful and pathetic with how needy it was. Because really Malachi was more an 'it' than anything to her. How he survived to toddlerhood is anyone's question when it was rare she remembered that he required feeding and watering, he was treated more like a houseplant than her child. 

Sadly around five things only got worse when she got the brilliant idea that her little spawn could be of use to her, well she always had been in with the more shady crowds, illegal circles of downright creepy crap really. There was always a big selling market for kids though, and even she would admit she made a pretty kid, thick blond hair and sweeping eyelashes, aristocratic cheekbones even. So she pulled her little spawn into a sex ring, auctioned him off like he was some thing she could sell. Was all short term leases of course, sadly the little spawn was her's, and she could not have the police sniffing around when if he up and disappeared. And that was his childhood really. School years made it better and worse at the same time, he got to escape for a few hours a day, but was forbidden from joining clubs. Did not help that Malachi was too smart for his own good and drew all sorts of attention because of that, teachers wanting to praise him or even jump him ahead in classes, wanting to meet with his mother to praise her on raising such a smart well behaved child. The attention pissed her off and in turn got him punished by her own hand and that was worse, so much worse. 

Things only drew to an end because of horrible events, horrifying really, bad enough that the results had Malachi in a hospital, strapped down for his own safety because he was not in his right mind and his hair bleached white. Teenage years had him turning into a very striking young man, which really had been bad, and capitalized on by his mother, except she pushed too far and broke him. Literally on that. Malachi managed to give enough of a report of events that both her and his father were arrested, but otherwise he ended up having to be committed for his own safety and mental health. Which is where he stayed, thankfully there were tutors to see that he finished his schooling on the bright side, because even the doctors in the ward could see how utterly brilliant he could be. Could be because his first first years he was kept drugged enough that he would not manage to kill himself if left alone longer than a few moments. 

It took him six years to be released, six very slow years with lots of progress, but he got back on his feet and into the world and promptly had not idea what to do on his own. He floundered for a bit, and it was an accident that got him scooped up for government work, incident of at the right place at the right time really. Had him correcting a stranger on what they were working on, and offering a better solution to them that was revolutionary really, so he had a business card shoved at him before the person had to dart off to see through the start of a plan. Took him another few days before he called the number and went in for a job interview that made no sense to him, but he somehow got a job working in the prime minister's office, his official title becoming Crisis Aversion Officer. Fancy words for keeping crap on track is what he learned, but he flourished at it, hard core bloomed into someone finally instead of just a shell of possibilities. 

Which would be why of course when the gold clan could they kidnapped him, in general terms anyway, they always did keep an eye on government workers, much less those higher up. That was a whole adventure on it's own though, someone explaining to Malachi who and what they were, and why the might think he was useful, while he mostly was caught up wondering why rabbits. Still he offered a trail run at least, working with the gold clan for a while but not a part of them, and really it made life ten times easier, they had access to information days before it was ever known otherwise. So it only made sense that Malachi ended up embracing the gold clan, and it was a lot like finding a home to him. 




Abilities: Malachi is like most of the Usagi really. Most of the gold clan are not fighters, the gold aura manifests in ways to improve upon a persons natural talents. For Malachi that is mostly intelligence and natural ability to adapt to situations. Being a member of the Usagi means he can pull on sanctum to attack with gold aura.

Trivia:

• really does prefer people call him by last name unless they are a close friend
• fully trusts Brook in their relationship and is aware both of their jobs take a great amount of time from both of them
• can made a fair bit of cash on betting pool games when he is in the mood, it is all math based after all
• tends to avoid spending time outside if he can help it, just not a fan of sunlight
• always is gleefully surprised to find Brook at his condo, even if it is just to curl up and sleep for a while with him
