Malice (Malal)

Malice is a renegade Chaos God and the Hierarch of Anarchy and Terror who appeared in early editions of the fictional universes of Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer 40,000 under the name Malal. Also known as “The Outcast God,” “The Lost God” and “The Renegade God,” Malice is the embodiment of Chaos‘ indiscriminate and anarchic tendency toward destruction, even of itself and its own agents. The nature of Malice’s powers is parasitic, as the Renegade God grows in power only when the other Ruinous Powers do. Malice’s sacred number is 11 and his favoured colours are black and white. There is a name whispered quietly and with fear even by the most depraved, the most evil, and the least sane of the worshippers of Chaos. That name is Malice, the Renegade God of Chaos. In eons past Malice was cast out from the bosom of Chaos by the other Chaos Gods, or else abandoned them of his own volition — no one is sure which.
