==Description==
Malfegor is a demonic dragon {{-}} a dragon with a demonic soul.<ref name="AlaraGuide">[[Doug Beyer]] & [[Jenna Helland]] (2008). ''[[A Planeswalker's Guide to Alara]]'', [[Wizards of the Coast]]. ISBN-13 978-0786951246</ref> With scales like shiny black plates, a powerful, eight-limbed body, and enormous, batlike wings, Malfegor is the essence of both power and fury.

==History==
===Before the Sundering===
The spawn of a demon and a dragon, Malfegor was ancient, having existed before the [[Sundering]] of Alara.<ref>{{DailyRef|savor-flavor/vorthos-awards-conflux-edition-2009-02-18|The Vorthos Awards: Conflux Edition|[[Doug Beyer]]|February 18, 2009}}</ref> During this time, he slew the archangel [[Asha]] and was thought by many on [[Bant]] to have been killed.<ref name="First">{{DailyRef|savor-flavor/first-days-conflux-2009-02-04|The First Days of the Conflux|[[Doug Beyer]]|February 4, 2009}}</ref> However, he had in fact just been exiled to Grixis.

===On Grixis===
On Grixis, he rose to immense power, becoming one of the most feared creatures on that world as well. He built a prison out of the bones of his victims. At one point, Malfegor would kidnap fledgling [[planeswalker]]s, and torque them in the hopes that they would be forced to planeswalk to avoid death. His first success was [[Sifa Grent]].<ref name="Spell Thief"/> He held her prisoner, trying to understand the magic that allowed her to traverse worlds. 

When [[Dack Fayden]] came to Grixis, he was quickly overpowered and thrown into a cell.<ref name="Spell Thief"/> There he was threatened with being eaten by Malfegor, but when he escaped he learned of Malfegor's experiments with fledgling planeswalkers. After Dack killed Malfegor's  head jailer, Malfegor tried to take matters into his own hands but Dack escaped.

===In league with Bolas===
Sometime after the [[Mending]], the elder dragon [[Nicol Bolas]] contacted Malfegor and persuaded him to serve as the planeswalker's second-in-command on Alara, preparing an army to invade the other shards after the coming [[Conflux (event)|Conflux]].<ref name="ConfluxGuide">(2009). ''[https://archive.org/details/conflux-players-guide-magic-the-gathering-2009 Conflux Player's Guide].'' [[Wizards of the Coast]].</ref> He performed his duties admirably, leading a troop across the shard of [[Esper]], wiping out nearly every sphinx except [[Sharuum]], before reaching Bant and staging an assault in an effort to activate the <c>Obelisk of Bant</c> that Bolas needed to complete his plan.

During this siege of Bant, Malfegor was killed by the combined forces of [[Rafiq]] and [[Elspeth Tirel]].
