Malak Galthana
Orphaned by the Fifty Year War, Malak was found and brought up by Grand Duke Barinten to be a member of his team of professional assassins known as the "Kamyuja." While his sister Rafa fled the Grand Duke after learning about his atrocities, Malak continued to serve him faithfully. You first meet Malak in Chapter 3 as an enemy, but he comes around to your side at the end of the chapter. On the roof of Riovanes Castle, Elmdor gravely wounds Malak, but the Zodiac Stone "Scorpio" shows its holy power and brings him back to life. For this, he is grateful to you and joins up with Ramza.
In battle, Malak is almost totally worthless. His Untruth abilities are worthless due to the randomness of the effects and the large potential of hitting your own characters. Unlike Rafa's truth, they don't ignore Faith, which makes them even more useless. Malak's high Brave level makes him a decent fighter, but with characters like Orlandu, Meliadoul, and Beowulf soon to come, who needs this guy? Rafa's saving grace is her low Brave level, which is a tremendous help in the Deep Dungeon, but Malak's high brave level makes him a waste there. (Unless you cast "Chicken" on him) You may want to keep him in your party for storyline reasons, but don't bother using him in battle.
