| '''Mallum, the Scarlet King''' is a primordial entity that leads the defiled monstrosities known as the [[Forum:Tarnished|Tarnished]]. He would become a a powerful adversary to the [[Hive]] and their [[Forum:Shin'ra, the Sorrow-Maker|God of Forge]], who had inexplicably unleashed his terror into the physical universe, and its ancient power rivaling or even surpassing that of the [[The Witness|Witness]].

| ==Biography==
| |
| ===Primordial Origins===
| |
| Much like the Light and Dark, Mallum seems to exist as a primordial entity, however untethered by both forces and acts on his own. Legends claim him to be the '''Lord of Blood''' who defiled the first lifeforms in the universe and using their dead as his own puppets. He would be known as the scourge of the universe and the fabled '''Scarlet King''' to the point that others would seek to extinguish him from entirely from existence. Many would attempt to banish the Scarlet King, but through unknown means he would be cast out from the physical universe, bound to a dimension without thought or form.

|
| |
| Undeterred, Mallum would persist in the beginning years and would somehow bear witness to the arrival of the Traveler to the Witness's precursors and their later acquisition of the Veil and attempted enactment of the Final Shape. Seeing how the Veil could use to meld minds and the Light being capable of creation, he sought out the means to remanifest into the physical universe.
