Malachi Lemont

Malachi Obadiah Lemont (born June 11, 3119) is a youth with a remarkable gift for reading people's thoughts. For this reason, the Republic has declared him Prince of Justice, a title that designates him as the champion of the Loratian military and the fulfillment of the Prophecy of Endiraza. He is the eldest son of Robert and Alexandra Lemont, and the older brother of Zach Lemont.

Appearance
 A.     A lean but well-built youth of fifteen, Malachi embodies the Loratian ideal of physical fitness, which adds to his role as a global celebrity and military icon. He has olive skin and a sleek, narrow face with a sharp chin that gives him a stern and pensive look. His serene countenance and placid blue-green eyes mask the internal turmoil that accompanies his telepathic powers. His well-kept hair curls slightly to the side and seems to glow under the spotlight. Though hardly effeminate in his looks, Malachi’s face, on the cusp of manhood, has a gentle, untarnished beauty that will surely fade with age.

P  Personality
 A.  Although Malachi can easily examine the thoughts and emotions of others, he works hard to conceal his own feelings, perhaps because no one else could understand them. Naturally, his abilities set him apart from the rest of humanity, except for a few other telepaths like Halfield, whom he fears, and Federico, whom he distrusts. As a result, Malachi maintains an aloof personality, sharing intimate thoughts only with Zach. Although the Prince of Justice hides devastating secrets from his brother, it is Zach who ends up revealing the ultimate secret to him. Malachi’s fame exhausts him, but also makes him curious about the nature of power and what people will do to attain it. Though charismatic on stage, in person Malachi can act standoffish. Because he is forced to grow up so quickly, Malachi is said to have the fatigued look of a much older man.

Relationships
 A.     Though adored by nearly everyone on Loratia, Malachi holds few deep relationships because of the nature of his mind. He dutifully respects both his parents, who shower him with praise and affection, but feels no genuine connection to them. Malachi feels emotionally closest to Zach because of the boy’s honesty. He holds Federico in contempt because of the man’s duplicity, but refrains from harming or reporting him because he knows Zach looks up to Federico. While at Deremorn, Malachi experiences a constant power struggle with Halfield and the rest of the Legislature. In the short run, he submits to their authority, but in the long run he manages to defy them.
