Maloch is originally from Itsochoncho. His father was a tiefling and his mother was a human; his human mother died in childbirth. He was raised by his father, a stern tiefling who was part of the local village council until he passed away. Maloch had a modest upbringing, and his father taught him to be self-sufficient. He had a few close friends and lived an ordinary childhood. As he grew up, he noticed resentment from Imperials towards tieflings, who were fleeing conflict in the area to make a better life in the Empire. He initially joined the Imperial military to help defend the border towns, and learned the precepts of the Ranger profession by scouting enemy encampments. He soon realized that the Empire was less concerned with protecting the border than he hoped. Seeing families struggling or being attacked while trying to find a better life motivated Maloch to become a smuggler (criminal). During this time, he met a half-elf that he worked with to make some Imperial contacts. As he got older, he continued to develop a small network among the Empire and tiefling border towns. He’s seen good and bad in both places, and his loyalty now lies with individuals (and their gold) instead of institutions. Now in the capital city, he spends some drinking nights with a half-orc he’s known from previous trips to the city. He tries to get the half-orc into trouble with some hair-brained schemes from time to time.
