Malachi awoke from torpor in the early 1990's during the bloodshed caused by the overthrow of Anson. Sire to the Nosferatu primogen of Seattle (Lucia), Malachi stayed in the background and spent some time observing, using Lucia to help him spy on the new leaders and new faces in the city. Lucia kept Malachi well informed about the city politics.

Around the time Theodora took control of Seattle in 1994, Malachi came forward and announced that Lucia had left the city and that he would now be Nosferatu primogen. During that same year, Malachi's other progeny, Delos, left the city. A few months later, Malachi introduced his new progeny, Corra, to the Prince.

Malachi inspires respect, uneasiness, and fear among many Kindred. His eerie presence makes one's hair stand on end and even elders have been known to have nightmares after a meeting with Malachi.
