Malfuruk is a watcher and a planner. He enjoys creating scenarios with mortals that can cause the greatest amount of physical and mental anguish possible for the longest time possible. While rarely acting directly, the Lord of Pain is fond of moving his pawns across the mortal map and having them act as instruments to his dark will. Aside of enjoying sadistic pastimes, he isn't a very ambitious god and often finds himself unwilling to enter into ventures with his ilk unless there is a wealth of pain for others involved. He appears as a powerful, bare-chested man donning a leather hood and carrying a black, sixteen tailed barbed infernium whip called Xhalus. Siru, Lady of Suffering is his mate.
Malfuruk finds worshipers amongst slavers, sadists and those who truly enjoy causing pain to others.His priests all don masks that hide their faces and carry either a whip or a cat-o-nine-tails on their person at all times. Malfuruk has temples across Imarel, though the only ones in major cities exist in Kasiq, Bladefall and in a few places in Vocor.
