Malcolm was a Ferelden Apostate, who often posed as a Mercenary and had martial skills enough to make it look like his alibi was true, also netting him positions in different mercenary bands. On an assignment for the Crimson Oars he's sent into Kirkwall.
One day on the Docks fighting the Carta, he was forced to use his magic to save the Crimson Oars' Leader. The Templars were alerted and he was captured, eventually working his way up to the position of Junior Enchanter, and first met Leandra while working during the Viscount's functions. He became good friends with Tobrius and presumably Maurevar Carver. Gamlen also assisted in letting Malcolm see Leandra, but his friendship with Malcolm is unknown if there was any to begin with.
He was taken by the Wardens to use Blood Magic to renew the seals of Corpyheus's Prison, and bound several demons away as well in the keep, although obviously they weren't the Guardians of the Seals, but instead minor demons locked away for good. He did all this under the threat of Leandra's Death, and also asked for influence over Fausten Amell, to allow him to marry Leandra if he ever had the oppurtunity.
By this time Hawke was most likely growing inside Leandra. It also seemed Malcolm wished and yearned for freedom.
The Orlesian Empress came to Kirkwall, and disguising himself under Orlesian Robes during a Ball held in the Empress's honor, he stole Leandra away in the midst of night where he intended to say his good byes but she insisted on departing with him, and going through the Waking Sea into Ferelden, and Hawke was born in this period. Later, Carver and Bethany were born, Carver being the namesake of the Templar Maurevar Carver who somehow helped Malcolm escaped unnoticed.
Malcolm spent much time with Bethany and Mage!Hawke and not much time with Warrior-Rogue!Hawke and Carver, choosing to try and teach the mage/mages of the household how to use their magic to serve what's best instead of what's base of them. He also presumably warned against Blood Magic and Demons, although this is a presumption on my behalf, his demeanor toward the subjects was less then friendly. This doesn't mean he rejected any of those who wished to learn it, rather he wanted them to do it responsibly.
Eventually they settled in at Lothering, running from Templars to find a place to settle in. Malcolm taught them to not to fear magic, and be prepared against those who were. Malcolm worked on a little staff as a side project.
He 'died' in 9:27, the cause is never specified, and the family never speaks about it; either indicating that the death was gruesome and don't want to remember it, or Bioware left open to fill in the gaps later.
Malcolm COULD'VE died to Templars [Say a Hawke member does a spell, they're thought to be a Mage but then he pops up.] or became an Abomination [Due to his Blood Magic.]
Although who really knows how he died. Calian died on Sea afterall ;D
Take this into account : D
