While true that he looks to find the best in all people, willing to give a second chance where many would not, he can make the hard choices. In lifetimes gone by he was a ruthless soldier who did what it took to complete the mission. His continuing reconnection to those lifetimes has given him a measure of that quality but it is something he struggles with. </span></span></span></span></p><p> <span style="color: #800080"><span style="font-family: 'Calibri'"><span style="font-size: 12px"></span></span></span></p><p> <span style="color: #800080"><span style="font-family: 'Calibri'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-size: 10px"><strong>Role within the unit.

Malthusius cannot help but feel for the hardships Korrigan has gone through in the past year, especially the loss of his wife to a convoluted fae pact. The biggest strain on their relationship was when Korrigan (along with the rest of the unit) accepted a daemon pact. While he can understand why he would accept and forgives the slip from his usual honourable self it is not something he will forget. That being said he still values their friendship and respects the Marshall.</span></span></span></span></p><p> <span style="color: #800080"><span style="font-family: 'Calibri'"><span style="font-size: 12px"></span></span></span></p><p> <span style="color: #800080"><span style="font-family: 'Calibri'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-size: 10px">Malthusius’s relationship with Uru is the one that has changed the most. When they me he seemed like a feral little thing Korrigan had found on his travels and brought in for his skill at stealth and murder. But as he got to know the strange person he developed a much better understanding of who Uru is. Contrary to his initial impression Uru is a deeply moral person, just to a different set of morals than most. While Malthusius doesn't agree with all of his views they have found more that a little common ground and a strong friendship has developed.</span></span></span></span></p><p> <span style="color: #800080"><span style="font-family: 'Calibri'"><span style="font-size: 12px"></span></span></span></p><p> <span style="color: #800080"><span style="font-family: 'Calibri'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-size: 10px">Malthusius has a great respect for Rumdoom’s capabilities as a warrior but is concerned about the dwarf’s state of mind. He’s recent catastrophe with his philosophical group coupled with release from control by the Deep Ones has been especially trying and while Malthusius wants to help he feels that nothing he has to say will make Rumdoom feel any better.

While possible that where Malthusius to train his keen sense on the Sergeant in more detail he might discern more he is vouched for by both Korrigan and Delft and thus has refrained from prying.
