Malak

The Malak is the collective name for spies, agents and infiltrators left behind after each Evolutionary conflict between Seraph and Ophanum.

The current Malak have been on Earth for 10,000 years, acting as intelligence and reconnaissance soldiers. Some are loyal to the Seraph, others to the Ophanum. They initially all remained xenophobic and insular, hiding from mankind as it spread across the planet. When there was nowhere left to hide, some Malak tried to blend into the population, using powers of deception to mask their true identities, avoiding unwanted attention at all costs. Others chose to abandon their duties and become Exiles.

The Malak who remained loyal completed their tasks. They watched and waited, keeping track of the development of the beings that would surely complicate the next Evolutionary War. A few small skirmishes erupted between individual Seraph and Ophanum - battles of myth and legend, witnessed by only a handful of people throughout history. Small skirmishes between Evolutionaries were mistakenly passed down through history as conflict between the forces of good and evil. Stories were told and retold, the truth lost, and humans were left with their false notions of the Seraph and Ophanum.

In 2280 some Malak have warned key Terran personnel about the imminent war, and negotiations are underway to pacify specific Terran governments and keep them from influencing the course of the coming war.
