Years later, the magic spell ended, and it was again free, but it had blow lost its magic capacities. Making use of its talents of buffoon, it decided to take revenge against Brandon (become king) and Kallak (its adviser and grandfather). Forced to leave Kyrandia, it arrived on the Island at the Cats. It made there alliance with a group of Pirate S, but those betrayed it, giving up it at the end of the world. He was imprisoned by the Poisson Queen of the watery country of Limbo, after having fallen into unconsciousness during years. Succeeding in escaping, he discovered Kyrandia dominated by the pirates. He possibly managed to release the country… and to prove his innocence. Indeed, he had not assassinated William and Katherine, who were with the fact victims of an enchanted knife, stabbing any person of royal blood which touched it.

Malcolm, released crime, was named King de Kyrandia. Being amouraché of a prison wardress, Rowena, it had a child with it.

Description

Malcolm is equipped with the standard costume of buffoon, with colors yellow and mauve. It has semi-long grey hair, but their whiteness does not have with the Vieillesse; they are white since its childhood.

His/her father, Heimwald, were the largest buffoon of the History of Kyrandia.

In its childhood, Malcolm was accompanied by its good and its bad Conscience, represented by buffoons with the face bouffi. The bad conscience, in red, is Günther and the clear conscience, in blue, is Stewart. Günther assists Malcolm throughout its adventure in Malcolm' S Revenge and Stewart appears rather late.

Evolution of the character

Malcolm underwent a great change of the first to the third play: it is initially insane cruel, destroying and megalomaniac, true a " méchant" without human qualities whose malefic influence and ambitions of conquests endanger the happiness and the balance of the kingdom.

When it becomes itself protagonist, Malcolm becomes almost inoffensive. Admittedly, he wants to take his revenge, but malefic only one is more the psychopathe had known. Its ill deeds usually consist in playing of the good turns and the jokes, because Malcolm is innocent murder of king William and the Katherine queen. It is now simple comic misunderstood, and will become hero with the values almost as good as Brandon, this last reproaching him only for having assassinated his parents, whereas its other malefic actions were well far from being negligible.
