Malar R. Blackwood

Malar Razud Blackwood is the current sultan of the Razuni Sultanate, and is the adopted son of Saya-Orin "Slanority" Blackwood and Heckish Kiroshira Blackwood. He is portrayed by user High_Monarch. He is known to be a kind man, and avoid conflict as much as possible, unless you have crossed him or his loved ones. He is known to be a practicing Salranist.

Early Life
Malar was born to Bashar Razud, though it is unknown who the mother was, named after his father's best friend, who was known publicly as Malar the Alchemist. Not long after his birth Malar the Alchemist was found dead in his home, causing Bashar to begin to hate the child-Malar, simply because he shared the name. He quickly began to become abusive towards him. The at the time fairly new Arbiter, Saya-Orin "Slanority" Blackwood would find themself acting as a sort of mother towards him however, doing her best to protect him from his father.

As Malar grew into his teenage years he became more and more irritable, much like his father, and was known to have violent outbursts whenever he disagreed with something, especially Bashar's multiple attempts to marry someone new. This made the tensions between father and son only grow, and Malar would lean more on The Blackwoods as a family. He took quick interest into history and magic, however, him and Slanority Blackwood doing a great deal of looking into the deeper history of the Razuni lands, where he would consequentially pick up the Salranist set of beliefs.

He was still quick to result to violence however, and it would be years before he learned otherwise despite Slanority and Heckish's attempts to teach him otherwise.

Young Adulthood
Into young adulthood not much had changed about Malar, he was still the lover of archiving and knowledge, but his short temper still remained, and as soon as he was of age he enlisted in the Razuni military, looking forward to the outlet to get anger out through. He seemed almost eager for war. However that would soon change. The first war that he was unfortunate enough to end up at was the Kunir War, where he fought bravely alongside his fellow Razuni soldiers, including Slanority, Heckish, and Jack Zakar. Led by Bashar, they fought long and hard, and it would be there he witnessed the true horrors of war. Him, Slanority, Heckish, and Bashar would be the only Razuni forces to return from the war.
