What lies in the Hearts and Minds of Men - Concept
Concept: Aberrant Evil
Aberrant Evil means a controlled evil, an evil that lies within the soul, but only slightly manifests now and then. Someone who is Aberrant Evil is only really noticed as evil after observing the big picture over a long period of time. Most people may think that the Aberrant Evil person is just standoffish, maybe selfish, or even kind, but not evil. These individuals are far and few between because they live by a true code of honor, but not one of conventional morality. The Aberrant Evil person may insist on not striking an unarmed foe or never act rudely toward his host, but may have no reservations about using torture as a means to get what he wants or needs, whoever his victim may be, or save someone's life just to turn around and kill them the next week because it serves his purposes better that way.
Malic Stitch spent almost 33 years in… that Hell, with… her. His time in Fairie has left his heart almost as cold as his skin, his soul almost as twisted as the Fae that abducted him, nearly a century ago. He has seen “Toys” of hers, broken and left for dead; he vaguely remembers overtly sexual acts that violated him in some twisted game of “Tea Party” or “House”, and he has the scars… and stains to prove it. Malic Stitch is a broken soul. All he knows of the delicate interaction of human society are the twisted manners he was forced to follow during these “Tea Parties” and other various, seemingly pointless “games”. He truly tries to act human, but can’t seem to shake the “manners” he came to know and almost love about the strange world he was forced to endure.
Riches to Rags - Physical description
Human Mask: Malic is pale and blotchy-skinned and has a cold touch to him. His eyes are sunken and always have bags under them like he hasn't gotten a good night's sleep in months. His hair is a bit unkempt, and he always has a gloomy look on his face.
Fae Mein: Malic Stitches can’t remember his real name. Hell, he can barely remember most of his life before or after he was taken, but he does remember being taken and the mien he carries with him is an all-to potent reminder of what he was subjected to as the plaything of such a twisted little girl, if you could call… her… that.
Stitches, as he was referred to by the other Fae-touched for a long time after he found his way to the Starkville Freehold… after being trapped in … that place, for so long, seems to carry the seeming of the Elemental Manikins. His skin is cold and pale white with a few small cloudy and pink stains. It seems to be stitched together like a rag-doll. In some places it is torn and tattered at the seams, to reveal a hastily put together clockwork-like, moving inner-workings made of brass, wood, copper, and string. He claims that he recived this “tattered” look from the thorny forest of the Hedge upon his mad dash back to this world. For whatever reason they’re there, two small, black, wood-like horns protrude from his forehead in angles slightly… off in some way, and his eyes seem sunken in, like that of a corpse.. The gloom of grey clouds and the long shadows of winter hang over and surround him with the flurry of a snow drift, leaving snowy footprints behind him that only the Fae-touched and the Others can see.

Known History
(More Comming Soon)
Malic Stitch is a well-respected, quiet, and polite member of the Winter Court. He dosen't speak of his former life much and can't remember much of his life with the Gentry. When he does choose to speak on the circumstances of his life before his abduction he seems to become even more gloomy and sorrowful, that he can no longer communicate with his family.
He has made somewhat of a name for himself over the past few years as a Grandmaster of The Exalted Guild of the Fae-Touched Artisans and has become rather famous in the world of the Fae-Touched for his Extravagant Hedgespun Clothes and Armor.
Malic has been rumored to be involved in a lot of the Winter Court's more shady dealings, such as Winter's Web and the Velvet Underground but has never been proven to have any direst involvement. He has however been linked as a patron of the Winter Court's Radio Free Fae as a contributor of some rather sizable donations, and an avid supporter of the movement.
Her. The one that Stole him... Hush... Don't say her name too loud - Former Keeper
The Duchess Lexxstria, The Eternal Child, Seductress of Bodies and Wicked Violator of Souls Old traveler’s tales tell of a seductive young woman that lures young men and women off with the promise of passions unmatched or that of a lost child that seems far from home wandering in the woods. This is the legacy of The Duchess Lexxstria. Taking the guise of a helpless child or an unearthly beauty, she lures her victims through the Hedge and back to her twisted playground of Broken souls, to become her servants, guardians, and playthings.
She took him off to be her doll, but he has escaped and angered the duchess. He believes she is actively hunting him for stealing her favorite tree and her favorite doll.
