Malkith Bloodflock Champion Lore

The man who became the dreaded Soul Shepherd known as Malkith Bloodflock started life as an impoverished student at Kaerok’s great Bibliotheque Spire. An orphan who had been left in the Spire’s care, he had none of the funds or grand lineage of most of his fellow students and, while his book learning and grasp of sorcery was sufficient for his studies, it was far from exceptional. Malkith suffered from loneliness and the belittling cruelty of his peers. He found few joys in acts of sorcery, and lacked drive or ambition. That was until, one day, as he was sheltering from his abusers in his meager bedchamber high in one of the Spire’s towers, he noticed a raven striding back and forth across his windowsill.

He realized the bird was organizing a collection of stones by size, before clutching the largest in its beak and flying away. Such careful decision making by what Malkith had taken to be a mindless animal surprised and intrigued him.

Over the next few months, Malkith carefully observed more ravens as they came and went around the Spire, becoming fascinated with their intelligence. He tried to communicate with them using a variety of different spells, to no avail. While unable to speak with the birds directly, he became aware of the broad sweep of their thoughts, and found too that he could influence them.

With this power, Malkith began to use the birds to confound his bullies. At first it started relatively innocently — while watching from the window of his chamber, Malkith caused a flock to descend on one arrogant student, ripping her scrolls and books apart and causing her to flee in terror. On another occasion he had them steal an heirloom ring belonging to a classmate who regularly mocked Malkith’s status as an orphan.

Malkith relished such acts of petty revenge, and started to use the ravens more aggressively. He failed to hide his growing connection to the black-feathered avians, however, so when his ravens pecked an eye of one of his tormentors out, an investigation established that he was behind the airborne terror. He was expelled from the Bibliotheque Spire.

Blackest despair gripped Malkith. On the night he was to be evicted, he planned to take his own life, but a knock at his door made him pause. One of the Spire’s tutors, Magister Amalphus, had noted Malkith’s abilities. While he could not change the decision of his peers, he offered the youth an alternative. He could become Amalphus’ apprentice, and the magister would teach him how to further his abilities and introduce him to people outside the Spire who would appreciate his gifts and power.

Malkith accepted, and with time was introduced to the secrets of the hidden society Amalphus was a member of – the Cult of K’Leth. In it, learned to harness greater control over his ravens by ritually cutting both them and himself, and touching the wounds. Amalphus had him unleash them on the cult’s enemies in a blizzard of black wings, talons, and beaks, and over time taught him how he could take the blood spilled or lost by the ravens and use it to cure sickness and heal wounds. He found he could even superheat that same life force, turning it into a searing liquid that could melt flesh and armor.

Malkith relished such power, and built upon it. He found brotherhood in the Cult, a form of the kinship he had always desperately wanted. He was soon inducted into the Knights Revenant, rising rose to the rank of Soul Shepherd, and now wields a level of violent power he could never have known had he continued slaving for the mages of Kaerok.
