Maladict - Discworld Character Biography
Character Bio
Maladict is a vampire with a twist, serving as a soldier in the Monstrous Regiment. Known for his dry wit and addiction to coffee, Maladict provides a unique perspective on the absurdities of war and the nature of addiction. His role in the regiment is pivotal, as he balances his vampiric instincts with a desire to fit in and contribute to the group's success.
Physical Appearance
Maladict is tall and slender, with the pale, almost translucent skin typical of vampires, giving him an ethereal, otherworldly appearance. His eyes are sharp and piercing, often hidden behind a pair of dark sunglasses to shield them from the sun. He dresses in the standard military uniform of the regiment, but with a certain flair that hints at his vampiric nature, such as a high-collared cloak and polished boots. His most distinctive feature is his ever-present coffee mug, a nod to his caffeine addiction, which he clutches as if it were a lifeline.
