MAL
Mal is so fucking annoying genuinely i don't like to talk about him because i dont want him to sound edgy and cringe but i fear this is an unavoidable fact. Mal is a side character and he alo doesn't have very many speaking lines, even fewer in english, so he desn't serve a massive role story-wise but still a kind of important one.
PERSONALITY
Mal is a difficult person in many respects, and a lot of people find him hard to like because he's so outwardly cold and uncaring. Mal can be very mean and is borderline pathologic in the way that he acts.
LORE/BACKSTORY
Mal is the product of nothing in particular, his strange personality and troubling set of mental illnesses aren't the result of any childhood neglect of abuse. The thing that really keep him up at night is the idea that no, nothing has broken him and made him the way that he is. he is just his parents' child, and that's all the damage he needs. You might notice that despite ebing Russian by origin, mal commony speaks ukranian. This is because he grew up there, as his family had to leave st. petersburg due to his late mother's declining health. she wanted to be closer to her family, so Mal went to school there and picked up this language. Olyana, his mother, was prone to severe depression and manic episodes which put a strain on everyone and made life very diffuclt for all of them. she committed suicide when mal was very young, so he doesn't actually remember her very well. im going to be honest, Mal does not gaf actually. he always lacked the emotional intelligence to understand that he should feel sad loosing a parent, and maybe he would be if he hadn't been so young wh it happened and kneew her so distantly. for him this did not impact his life, at least ot at the time, so he had no strong feelings of greif.
London has over 13 million inhabitants.
