Malone
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings-nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more-- you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Physical Description
Malone is, to be blunt, huge. Bulging muscles, broad shoulders and a barrel chest house a picture of physical fitness. His bald head and stoic countenance give the impression of both strength and ability. Jaywick once won a bet by serving a fully prepared ploughman’s lunch in one of the Giants hands.
Personality
Malone is not a man of many words. He says little and means much. It has been said that Malone is the epitome of the still waters that run deep and one cannot doubt that from knowing him. Once an idealist and a gallant protector of the weak, the years have hardened his heart and made him bitter. Malone dances dangerously close to his unseelie nature. That was, at least, until the arrival of Izzy. The young girl’s own Seelie nature and joy of life began to turn back the waves of pain for the Troll, and it appears the arrival of two more youngsters might continue what she began.
Story
Malone, nobody who knows his full name ever speak it, underwent a Chrysalis in his early teens among a family of Irish hell-raisers. The fair folk were nothing new to these people and even though the mists would rob them of most of the memories, a Changeling couldn’t wish for a better upbringing. The local Lord and Lady of House Fionna were delighted at the newly awakened Troll and after his apprenticeship with the lord and eventual saining, he was Knighted as the Lords right hand man.
Joining the Gotham City Police force from school just like many of his Irish immigrant family, Malone served the city for 10 years. Over that time, his idealistic nature was slowly worn away by the corruption that ran rife throughout the division. When the Accordance war came and Malone found he could not upkeep the law and fight for the survival of his people, he was almost relieved to hand in his badge.
As the returning Sidhe delivered one betrayal after another, The Troll Knights loyalty to his Lord were sorely tested. But after the Night of Iron knives it was no longer a problem. The Fionna Lord whom he had sworn allegiance too disavowed his title and his Kith and joined the Commoners in their battle against the nobles. Without a Title, Raindog told him, I cannot command a Noble knight to fight for me. Malone told his lord and friend that he did not need to be ordered to fight for what was right and the two joined the other Kiths in turning the largly Unseelie Sidhe from the northern districts of the city.
