History

Malachi is an Angel from Heaven.

He was the brother of Kazann[1] and the older brother of Daniel.[2]

During the rebellion, when Lucifier and Kazann chose to rebel, Malachi stayed on the side of Heaven. But he and his brother Kazann stayed in touch, and each fed the other information about their respective sides, so that they both could advance in their respect ranks.[1]

When Kazann attempted to manifest on the physical plane, however, it threw off the balance he and Malachi had been playing at for millennia. Needing both action and deniability, Malachi freed Ghost Rider from Hell to stop Kazann and help him restore the status quo.[3]

When it was discovered what he had been doing, the angel Ruth ripped out his wings, making him mortal. After bleeding to death, Malachi went to Hell, where he is dragged behind the Ghost Rider each night, being ripped to shreds by demons.[1]
