Ayarch Malphas
It is worth noting that Malphas almost always goes by Malphas unless being addressed formally or receiving a request from someone subservient. Ayarch is simply a title to signify his position as a "god" of sorts in Ykalu.

As you guys may already know if you read the novel that I wrote on King of Plagues that Malphas is the Assaydra (Uh-SAY-dra) of death, illness and disease on the island / in the world of Ykalu (Ee-KAH-loo). Assaydra are basically a group of immortal, tangible dragon deities /spirits that inhabit Ykalu. The Assaydra are a very tight knit group and work together to make all aspects of life possible for the other cryptids and mythical creatures that inhabit Ykalu. It is also worth noting that the Assaydra are the only immortal beings and only beings with access to the spirit world in Ykalu. While they are tangible beings, they aren't associated with normal life in this world, in a way, they are more or less the physical embodiment of the elements and sub elements that they have power over. In that sense, Malphas is the physical representation of death and illness rather than some being that just wreaks havoc for the hell of it on this land.

While his work is dark, Malphas' personality isn't evil or malicious. He is a calm and collected gentleman with a silver tongue. He has a very large vocabulary yet he doesn't use it to be condescending. He is very intelligent and clean about his work and himself. His beard, mane and plumage are very well groomed and he tries to keep his feathers as aligned as he can since he tends to be a little compulsive about his appearance.
In his presence you can almost feel his power radiating off of him because of the way he holds and carries himself. While he never sugar coats things and can sometimes seem blunt, he keeps his class. In social situations Malphas tends to take the role of an observer and only speaks and acts when he feels that it is absolutely necessary.

Might add more to this later as his character develops.

Malphas, Assaydra, and the concept of Ykalu all belong to me.
Assaydra are not an open species and are specific to my story, please respect my wishes and do not create one!
Thank you and enjoy!
