Malcall is an Anar, a barbarian from the cold lands that lie to the south of the Kelerak Mountains. He grew up in the village of Svenheim. He is of the Hildolfar peoples, whose totem animal is the wolf. The son of the commoners Grim and Sigrid, Malcall was always a troubled soul. Given to tumultuous rages, strange depravities, and whimsical fancies, the large Northman was strange even to his uncivilized relatives. Few dared tell him this, however, for Malcall was always a fierce and berserk fighter, distinguishing himself in raids against the Cavebear Clan. As he bent to muse over the first daisy of springtime, the son of the Chieftain of the village of Svenheim insulted him, calling him a woman. Malcall flew into one of his already famous berserk rages, beating the Chieftain's son with his great fists to within an inch of his life. Caught and brought before the 'ting', the thirty-six jurors declared Malcall an outlaw and sentenced him to exile. Yet out of pity for the grave insult with which he was faced, they put a span of one year on the ravager's exile. Malcall thus left his village to seek his fortune in more civilized lands.
Malcall, a dirty, hairy, hulking man, is a strange character. He is steadfastly loyal to his friends, even going so far as to risk his life for them continuously, yet he constantly insults them. The ravager has a depraved side to his personality as well, for he collects "body part" trophies from his many kills. Given to asking his prized shrunken heads for advice, it is likely that Malcall is slightly touched in his own head. Yet his companions, the Lords of the West, swear that he is the man to have by one’s side in a fight (yet not in a tent, because of the smell). In 8171, Malcall grew in terms of character, taking on more responsibility. He went North and in an attempt to unite the tribes against Afej the black, was named War Jarl of his people. As part of the Lords of the West, Malcall is one of the liberators of the lands, instrumental in the war against the Lords of Sin.
