Character from The Elder Scrolls by Bethesda Game Studios
Daedric Prince of the Spurned, the Ostracized, and the Sworn Oath. Patron of the Orcs and all outcasts. Once the Aedra Trinimac before being devoured and corrupted by Boethiah.
Malacath is the Daedric Prince of the Ostracized, patron of the Orcs and all who have been cast out by society. He was once Trinimac, the champion of the Aedra and mightiest of the elven ancestor spirits, before Boethiah devoured him and excreted what remained — transforming the proud god into the bitter, outcast Prince of the Spurned. His followers, the Orsimer, were likewise transformed from Trinimac's golden-skinned devotees into the Orcs. Despite his origins in humiliation, Malacath has forged strength from rejection. He teaches that the spurned and the outcast must be tougher, more loyal, and more honorable than those who rejected them. Orcish society's code of honor — the Code of Malacath — governs their strongholds, emphasizing strength, duty, and blood-price justice. In Skyrim, his quest involves defending an Orc stronghold from a giant and proving one's worth through combat. His artifact, Volendrung, is a massive warhammer of Dwemer origin that absorbs the stamina of those it strikes. Malacath holds a special hatred for Boethiah and all who look down on his children. He is brutal and unforgiving, but genuinely protective of those who have nowhere else to turn.
A massive, heavily muscled Orc-like figure with greenish skin covered in ritual scars and war paint. His tusks are enormous and his face carries the permanent scowl of someone who has been wronged by the entire universe and intends to make it pay. He wears crude but powerful armor of bone and dark iron, and his presence radiates a fury tempered by the loyalty of one who protects his own.
