260:, Malcolm lived a simple childhood guided by his good conscience Stewart and his evil conscience Gunther. As Malcolm grew, he slowly began to be unruly and playing tricks, which Stewart disapproved of Gunther advising him to do. Eventually the two consciences fought over control of Malcolm, resulting in Stewart being cast away and Gunther taking sole control in guiding Malcolm. Over the years, Malcolm continued to cause trouble, before becoming the court jester for King William and Queen Catherine of Kyrandia. After the royal rulers were murdered, Malcolm was wrongly accused of the crime, causing him to retaliate against the kingdom until his defeat at the hands of Brandon, William's and Catherine's son, and Kallak, leader of the kingdom's magic users known as Mystics.
270:. Seeking revenge, Malcolm begins working to find a way off of Kyrandia, knowing his return will attract unwanted attention and efforts to imprison him. Finding the means to travel to the Isle of Cats, Malcolm secures the aid of a pirate captain by securing a magical spell that can turn people into anthropomorphic mice. With the pirates' aid, Malcolm storms back to Kyrandia, only to be betrayed by them. Deeming him too great a problem, Brandon and Kallak punish Malcolm by sending him to the edge of the world.

Malcolm returns to
Kyrandia, in the process reuniting with Stewart. At this point, Malcolm is forced to decide on which conscience to have, or to have both work for him. After dealing with the matter, Malcolm discovers Kyrandia in ruins, and the pirates in control after using the spell Malcolm found. Deciding to save the kingdom from his actions, Malcolm tricks the pirates' captain into accepting a gem for part of a ransom and giving him the collar, ending the pirates' rule.
