Malleus Draconia

Malleus Draconia is a third-year student and the dorm leader of Diasomnia. He is a descendant of the fairies, and his magic power is among the strongest in the world. He has a distinguished presence at Night Raven College, but his powerful aura causes the other students to keep their distance.

Appearance
Malleus has pale skin, glowing green eyes, and a pair of large black horns that protrude from his long, dark hair. His nails are black. His dorm outfit consists of an asymmetrical and ornate black uniform jacket with lime green accents over jodhpur pants of the same coloring, embossed leather gloves that reach his elbows, a small pillbox hat, and heeled black leather boots. A holster-style leather belt holds spools of thread at his waist. Malleus's cape, whose outside is embossed with patterns of thorny rose stalks, is pinned to his left shoulder by a silver brooch of a dragon head that also connects to two silver aiguillettes.

Personality
Malleus has been described by many students, even amongst the dorm leaders, to have a powerful aura that wards away most people from approaching him. Additionally, he is also considered one of the top 5 most powerful magicians in the world. This, combined with Malleus's altered perception of time as a fae, has resulted in him being left out of most invitations to ceremonies and events.

Malleus himself does not interact closely with other students beyond Lilia, Silver, and Sebek of Diasomnia, who hail from his hometown. This has only resulted in his further isolation. Despite enjoying time alone from his concerned and watchful attendants in exploring abandoned buildings, Malleus shows signs of loneliness and a desire to connect normally with others. He is also said to have a naïve and childish side to him, as he grew up isolated from the outside world in Briar Valley. This naïvety is evident in the Al'ab Nariya event, as seen in the scenes when he was in a car for the first time and when he was shopping in the bazaar.

Despite his naïvety, Malleus has the mindset of being more mature and knowledgeable than those around him. He has commented on the Protagonist's naïvety a few times, and he has once commented that he was a generous fairy in the Fairy Gala event.

Malleus has grown exhausted of being feared by those around him and so takes pleasure in the Protagonist's obliviousness of his true identity.

Background
Malleus grew up in Briar Valley. According to him, he often spent time alone in the castle because he wasn't allowed to go out much when he was younger. Lilia was his caretaker.

His grandmother is the queen of Briar Valley. He's stated that her magic surpasses his own. According to Malleus, she is his "only blood relative", though apparently, he has mentioned his parents when he got separated from the group without realizing it during his trip in Scalding Sands.
