Malice was the one of Draconus' triplet daughters. Her sisters were Envy and Spite. She was considered the 'youngest' as she was the last to have left the womb and was smallest in size.[1]

In Forge of Darkness

It was revealed that the mother of Malice and her sisters might have been Olar Ethil, not Sheltatha Lore as previously thought, however, there was still some ambiguity over that statement.[2]

At the time of Mother Dark's ascension, Malice and her two sisters appeared to be young girls. Their father told them that they would age like normal Tiste until they reached the age of eight or nine. Afterwards they would only mature after experiencing death-like trauma. Envy and Spite convinced Malice that if she died she would return more powerful than her hated older sisters. Malice agreed, so Spite strangled her.[3] When Malice remained dead, the two sisters hid the body and concluded that they needed to murder any who would notice she was missing, so they set about murdering the Dracons household staff.[4] Their murder spree appeared short lived when house surgeon, Atran, overpowered them both. Only the sudden appearance of a reanimated Malice saved them.[5] Afterwards, the girls hid in the walls of the Hold until Malice's deathlike stench became too much and they locked her in a blazing kitchen oven.[6]
