Lord Malfroy was an Undead (perhaps an Akhkharu). Some time after 822 YSD, he took control over an important city of Heresh, Iluma Nadin, taking advantage of the previous lord's death at the hand of Wizards during the War of the Broken Staff. A poor military commander by any means, Malfroy soon became renowned among the High Lords of Heresh for the somptuous feasts held in his newly acquired domain. Boasting particularly good wine, Malfroy's table started to be frequented by the Akhkharu Giovanni, who soon befriended him.
