MALACHAI PARRKER WASN'T BORN EVIL. The opposite was the case, actually. A blooming childhood in a stable family situation, he had everything a normal boy would wish for. But still — normal was different.

HE WAS AN ONLY CHILD. Not in the literal sense, but everytime his better half Josette was learning spells every day after elementary school, Kai was watching. He never got the attention that he wanted; he was only
a siphoner, and couldn't participate magic without taking power from something else. He was not exactly a disgrace for the family, but he was a reject. He was always alone.

HE WAS AN ARTIST, drawing the most grotesque things. The monsters in his head, and death itself. There were rumors at school he was drawing with real blood, but that was all just speculation. Nevertheless, there was often blood involved when his father would hit his head on the kitchen table  or simply tear his art into pieces as a punishment, besides describing him as useless for wasting his time on something as silly as art. Most of the time he was drawing under his bedsheets, in secret — he never received any recognition.

HE WASN'T EXACTLY POPULAR EITHER. However, his sister was, who got recognized not only at home for being an excellent witch and for raising their siblings more than their actual parents did, but in school for her grades and positive attitude towards everyone. Being twins, people would surely compare the two — pick one over the other —and that would always be Jo. Kai was just that grumpy kid that was for a reason not explainable related to her.

WHATEVER MALACHAI PARKER WAS, it was enough to grab the attention of Evelyn Morgan.

And it all starts here, in 1988.
