The human Malory excelled at alchemy, to the extent of being noticed by Nefarian, the notorious son of Deathwing. He was kidnapped and fused with the corpse of a dragon-spawn to become a less-intelligent Dragonkin to work in his Laboratory on building him a new army of dragon spawns. After a mix of the wrong potions he was transported to the Nexus, now armed with mysterious vials of strange mixtures he plans to use the nexus to create an unstoppable army... at least he hopes that will happen.
Maloriak is a specialist hero from the Warcraft Universe. He comes armed with different abilities that randomly change and effect enemies in different ways, excelling in empowering his minions and crippling his enemies so he can easily overpower and destroy his lane.
Please note this is a Work in Progress and is not finished. Any suggestions, tips or feedback is always welcome but please be constructive with it if you can.
