Editing Lady Malys (section)

==History==

After a few centuries as Vect's consort, Vect grew bored of her (and maybe partially feared her ambition) and kicked Malys out of his court. A woman scorned, Malys and her followers left [[Commorragh]] into another expanse of the [[Webway]] to get her hell-no-hathing fury on. There in the depths of the Webway she met [[Cegorach]], who banished her followers and challenged Malys to a game of wills, the loser of which would give their heart to the winner. Malys was victorious and the glowing being vanished, leaving a blade and its crystal heart. Because the whole ordeal with Cegorach had taken a toll on her sanity and she was desperate for any advantage she could get against Vect, Malys made the ''totally sensible'' decision to use the blade to remove her own heart and replace it with the crystal one (We're talking about the unrelentingly weird world of 40k here; she could have stuck a muffin in there and it probably would have worked).

From there she returned to Commorragh with revenge in mind against Vect and began to build up her power, until she became the Archon of the Kabal of the Poisoned Tongue and one of the most powerful rulers in the Dark City.

Her keen mind is truly a byzantine labyrinth, hatching countless plots and always preparing to take advantage of a situation. She is described as polite, aloft and haughty, which only matches the image we have of her as one of those Victorian English ladies or anime noblewoman villainesses with an annoying laugh hidden behind a razor fan or, as [[Phil Kelly|the author who created the character]] describes her, unflatteringly polite while she plans how best to serve your brains on a platter at the next dinner party. She has matched wits with Asdrubael countless times and has an incredible sense of precognition. She may indeed in time be the one to finally dethrone Vect himself…

It is claimed in rumors that she can often be heard laughing hysterically from her private quarters, and laughs with two voices instead of one. Strange, glowing being found in the Webway that didn't try to nom nom an Eldar… hysterical laughter… powers of precognition… yeah, this has [[Cegorach]] written all over it. The release of Codex: Harlequins confirms it; the Veiled Path takes credit for the encounter, though it is vague as to why.
