Mald (Spin-off)

Mald (マルド) is an adventurer and companion of the Bow Hero. He has some affiliation with princess Malty S Melromarc.

Appearance
Mald's most distinctive feature is the brightly colored, extravagant armor that he wears.

Personality
Mald has always had a stuck up attitude, which most likely came from his status as a noble. He has the trait of being self-righteous and has a dictatorial mindset despite taking objectively wrong actions. He has an intimidating personality which always pressures anyone near him. As typical in most Melromarc noble people, Mald hated both Demi-Humans and the Shield Hero figure.

Despite his tirades of "good" and "evil", these are not objective terms to Mald. To Mald, something evil is anything that goes against his benefit. He often loudly complains when he is not treated the utmost best compared those around him.

Background
Mald is from an aristocratic family within Melromarc. He often uses this as an excuse to do what he'd like.

Loop 4
As with the original timeline, Mald was selected to be one of Itsuki's companions. Even when Itsuki joined King Aultcray and the pope on their march towards Siltvelt, Mald with with him. However, despite the large army, Naofumi, Motoyasu and Queen Mirellia's forces quickly started to win. After Itsuki was paralyzed by Motoyasu, Mald claimed that he was a "false Bow Hero" and killed him. This caused Motoyasu to restart in another loop.

Loop 5
Seeing that Mald created a problem by killing Itsuki in the previous loop, Motoyasu used his stealth skills to kill Mald secretly even before the companion selection began.
