Little is known of Maldore's early life. According to stories he'd tell his supporters, Maldorewas born as Louis Maldore in [[Ylga]], north of Nieseat. When he was 12, a recruiter from the [[Emerald Institute]] invited him to study in their institution. The Maldores initially turned the offer down, only to send him off a year later, when a gifted children's program for the poor allowed his enrollment despite their finances. In the Institute, Louis changed his name to "Macadier" and began his studies under the archmage [[Asmis Yldram]]. | Little is known of Maldore's early life.

For 5 years, | For 5 years, Maldore studied at the Emerald Institute. He shifted his studies to a part-time endeavour and returned to Ylga, where a war between the noble families of Nie and Sudal were tearing his home apart. Desperate to end the war, Maldore joined an unnamed group with the symbol of a stag. During the war in Ylga, Macadier watched all his friends die barring one: the "shining beacon" known as Leondar Ithsum, the Paladin of Light. Ithsum's light did not save him from death. Maldore found him in a cave, dagger in hand, and a shadowy figure upon the walls of the cavern. Realising this shadow had ill intentions and believing Leondar was corrupted, Maldore enchanted him to commit suicide. His stories claim that the shadow wanted to work with him, but Maldore declined and left the cave a changed man. Ithsum's death affected Maldore for the rest of his life. With his help, the Sudal family surrendered to the Nie's, and Maldore moved on from Ylga. | ||

During [[Timeline#Season_1|Season 1]], Maldore appeared only once. [[Dragone Collins]], a Nieseatian diplomat, died in [[Kara]]. When news of this reached the Archon, he lobbed a massive fireball at [[Stone Bay]] and sent Nieseatian officials to Kara en masse. In retaliation, Lord Mayor [[Ulysses Mountbatten]] took his [[marshals]] and killed all Nieseatian politicians in the kingdom, sending them back to Maldore "in body bags." | During [[Timeline#Season_1|Season 1]], Maldore appeared only once.

Over time, Maldore's goals of neutralising magic grew beyond Nieseat's borders. He planned to create zones of enchantment which could affect entire cities. People walking into these zones would be unable to use magic, and any attempts would bring about the wrath of his [[inquisitors]]. Without his explicit permission, nobody would be able to use magic. | Over time, Maldore's goals of neutralising magic grew beyond Nieseat's borders.

There was one huge hurdle for the Archon. Natural laws of magic stated that "nothing was permanent", and his places of non-magic would eventually disappear over time. He spent years researching and working on solutions until he completed the plans for the Arcane Battery. This was a tool he could use to amplify his [[Realitas]], permanent magic, and force his will of antimagic forever. | There was one huge hurdle for the Archon.

Maldore returned to Kara, intending to use it as his testing grounds due to the rare convergence of leylines on the island of [[Felanah]]. There, he established the Colony of the [[Ehrtfort]], where he would rule Nieseat, govern the colony, and work on completing the Arcane Battery. | ||
