All about Malcolm in The Last of Us
Trending
Malcolm Seraphite, who, after being captured by the Washington Liberation Front, was tortured and killed by Isaac Dixon. He was youthful, thin, blue-eyed, fair-skinned, and had a brown buzz cut, all in keeping with Seraphite fashion. With scars extending from the corners of his mouth to his ears, he wore the Glasgow smile that was characteristic of the group. He suffered severe burns on the top of his right hand, and his head and torso were covered in wounds and bruises from the torture.
He survived the Cordyceps brain illness pandemic and, by 2029, had moved to Seattle, Washington, where he was a dedicated Seraphite. As a young man, he was so ignorant of the world before the outbreak that he was unaware of any stores or businesses that were in operation in 2003. Before being caught during a skirmish in which he used a bow and arrow to shoot a young kid in the head, he participated in the war against the Washington Liberation Front.
Malcolm was arrested by WLF, their commander, Isaac Dixon, shackled him nude to a wall and tortured him with a hot copper pan while questioning him. Malcolm was in pain, but he would deny where the next Seraphite attack would take place. Rather, he maintained that the Seraphites would win the battle, saying that WLF soldiers were defecting to them every day.
Malcolm refused to back down, even offering his hand for Isaac to burn even more as he clung to his faith while praying to his prophet. Isaac, frustrated that he would not comply anymore, pulled out his revolver and put him to death.
