Malan commands the Cobalt Guard and directs the fighting from just behind the front lines. His role is that of a steady, visible authority in the battle, though the text gives him no further personal arc or relationships.
Description
Malan is tall and stately, with the bearing of a seasoned officer. He wears a steel breastplate and a matching helm over a uniform of dark blue, its color deeper than the blue worn by others around him. His posture is formal and assured, lending him a calm, commanding presence; his facial features, hair, and eye color are not specified.
