Malkariss

Malkariss is a white polecat, extremely arrogant and deformed. He founded an underground kingdom beneath the ruins of Loamhedge Abbey in the far south, built by slaves delivered to him by slavers such as Slagar the Cruel. Represented by a large limestone statue of a polecat, he spoke only to his head rat Nadaz to relate his orders to others under his rule.

After Matthias fell off the ledge where the statue dwelt during his fight with the Wearet, he discovered Malkariss in his true form: a white polecat, but not at all like the imposing statue. In reality, Malkariss was old, weak, and hideous. Malkariss tried to kill Matthias with his own sword, but a small group of the slaves, whose guards had left them alone when they left to go fight the intruders, stoned him to death. The limestone statue was destroyed by Orlando the Axe and Matthias.
