Malek's Helmet




 * I found Malek’s helmet amongst the scattered remnants of his armor, whole and intact. Vorador had finally laid his old adversary to rest.


 * - Kain

Malek's Helmet was a piece of the armour worn by Malek the Paladin; Guardian of Conflict. The helmet was adorned with braided hair torn from the scalp of Malek's victims. Following his defeat at the hands of Vorador, Mortanius ripped Malek's soul from his flesh and bound it into the armour he had so gruesomely decorated. For the next five hundred years Malek served the Circle as an animated suit of armour until he encountered the fledgling vampire Kain. Kain, aware that he could not defeat Malek, enlisted the aid of Vorador. Called to defend the Circle at Dark Eden Malek abandoned his duty to face his old nemesis once more and allowed Kain to pursue the Circle while he engaged vorador in battle. Through means unknown Vorador defeated Malek and destroyed whatever held his soul-bound armour together. When Kain returned victorious he found Malek's armour empty and lifeless.

Kain claimed Malek's Helmet as a token of power and returned with to the Pillars of Nosgoth. Kain placed the Helmet before the corrupted Pillar of Conflict, the Pillar accepted its offering and was, for a short time, restored.
