| ==Biography==
| |
| ===Forerunner-Flood War===
| |
| Malice-Begets-Demise fought and died in the height of the [[Forerunner-Flood war]]. Late in the conflict, Malice fought alongside fellow warriors [[Animus-To-Remain]] and [[Habit-To-Sever]] in the defence of the [[shield world]] [[Trove]]. During the battle, the three Prometheans fought a sacrificial defensive effort to defend the shield world's damaged monitor [[295 Harken Watch]], allowing it to retreat and seal off the shield world interior from Flood forces.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
| |
| | |
| ===A new purpose===
| |
| At some point, an [[essence]] of Malice-Begets-Demise (alongside those of Animus, Habit and [[Endurance-of-Will]]) was discovered by [[human]] forces of the [[United Nations Space Command]], and implemented into the [[War Games]] training simulations for [[Spartan Operations]] personnel. During the simulations, Malice-Begets-Demise was titled "Commander Malice", and took the form of an orange-coloured [[Knight Commander]] with blue [[hard light]] accents.{{Ref/Reuse|H5WZ}}

| | |
| ==Gameplay==
| |
| Commander Malice appears as a boss in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''{{'}} [[Warzone Firefight (gametype)|Warzone Firefight]] mode. In-game, Commander Malice is a Legendary boss that appears on [[Urban]]. Malice, Animus-To-Remain, and Habit-To-Sever appear together as the '''Knight Trio'''. Malice is armed with a [[lightblade]], a [[Z-250 lightrifle]] and a [[Z-390 incineration cannon]].{{Ref/Reuse|H5WZ}}

| ==Production notes==
| |
| Malice-Begets-Demise originally appeared in the Warzone mode as a boss character alongside Animus-To-Remain and Habit-To-Sever, at the time simply known as "Commander Malice". Their full name and backstory would not be unveiled until the [[2022]] release of the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)]]'', with [[Jeff Easterling]] later hinting at the trio's identities being hinted at in the book at the [[Halo Championship Series|Halo World Championship]] [[Canon Fodder|Canon Fodder Live]] panel later that year.{{Ref/YouTube|Id=StreamAnnounce|Yz-fW1-B3tw|Halo|HaloWC 2022 Community Stage - Friday}}
