Malzeda (AoC Universe)

Malzeda (written as Melzedal in the Holy Pages) is a character exclusive to the Aeon of the Champion story series, and one of the Seven legendary Aesir.

The spiritual embodiment of the Wisdom virtue, Malzeda had power beyond comprehension, a peerless and fearless guardian of knowledge across the universe. He was the most well-spoken member of the Aegis Council, and mainted significant influence of the heavens through his students - the inquisitive young angels known as scholari.

Making of the Heavens
During the building of the Heavens, Malzeda was instrumental in bringing the world-building Garor to the Arda plane. He proved to be an extremely wise and competent administrator, efficiently delegating roles among the smiths as to complete each project far ahead of scheduled time. This endeared him to the Garor, who even deferred to him ahead of their own leader, Arta'Zul - chief architect of the Silver City. He also oversaw the creation of the Golden Arch, the site at which all angels come into existence via the cold fusion of light and sound magics.

Due to his then-infinite intelligence, Malzeda desired to pass his thirst for knowledge onto some of the other angels - the most capable and apt of their kind. He also desired to see the events of the Creation and Formation documented for future reference, forming the Scholari - comprised of the most inquisitive and strong-minded angels of the day. Their day-to-day activity involved enscribing the Formation in the Holy Pages, which were an extensive record of all heavenly activity in the period, and debating theology among themselves.

Trivia

 * Malzeda is based off of Malthael in Diablo.
 * Both were the embodiments of Wisdom, but unlike Malthael, Malzeda did not betray his fellow angels.
