"Do what you want, ‘cause a pirate is free,
YOU ARE A PIRATE!
Yar har, fiddle di dee,
Being a pirate is alright to be,
Do what you want ‘cause a pirate is free,
You are a pirate!
We've got us a map, (a map!)
To lead us to a hidden box,
That's all locked up with locks! (with locks!)
And buried deep away!
We'll dig up the box, (the box!)
We know it's full of precious booty!
Burst open the locks!
And then we'll say hooray!"

Born to a pair of wealthy resident Korvosian researchers, Maledicus should have had what was the ideal upbringing. Funded by King Eodred, his parents have been tasked with researching the Cyphergate that archs over the Riddleport harbor. They did their best to raise Maledicus right, however the life of a researcher is very busy and Mal began to sneak out and run around with the local "pirate" youth gangs down at the harbor. Having to defend himself from local thugs and the occasional merchant who woke up while in the middle of being robbed by Mal, he became quite adept at combat in addition to his thievery, and one of his signature traits is his tendency to carry around with him a humongous sword strapped on his back. Eventually, however, Maledicus and his friends were busy stealing rum from the cargo of a harbored ship when he and his hoodlum friends were discovered and confronted by the ships guard. His so called friends managed to run away, leaving Maledicus behind, and the guards beat him severely. Thankfully, a Korvosian man on the ship recognized him as being the son of the researchers, and they escorted him back to his house and to his parents. Ashamed at what their son had become, having thought he had been out to the library or partaking in public debates like most intellectual kids, they couldn't figure out where they went wrong. He was expelled from the family and cut off, his father saying for him not to come back until he's done something meaningful with his life, something that he can once again be proud of. And this is what brings him to Sandpoint, where he heard the booze is good, women are loose, and where he might be able to produce a meaningful study of the ancient ruins of the old lighthouse, the Old Light, shedding some light on the ancient empire that once resided in Varisia and be able to find a way back into his family's favor.

However quiet he is at most times, in the heat of combat or while drunk Maledicus can be quite obnoxious, yelling out all sorts of Riddleport coloquialisms (like "SHIVER ME TIMBERS" and "AVAST YE SCALLIWAG, DANCE THE HEMPEN JIG!") and being quite a menace. Although not neccessaily of a golden heart, he will help those in need if he can, though he usually seeks out some sort of payment for his "good" deeds. He has an extremely high self image of himself and can be riled up into a fight if anyone points out that he is actually quite an ugly bastard and smells rather bad.
