Kindness, never much of a fighter Malcom considers his best strength his kindness and how he has been able to help the Jaegers by calming traumatized children and women, sometimes even men, who have faced the few and far between 'evil' occults.
Persuasion, Again sense he isn't much of a fighter he has learned to be a good speaker. He has been able to talk someone out of jumping off a bridge to talking a person on the verge of taking another innocent life out of it. It seems like such a little thing but most in the Jaegers, and Venatores in general, appreciate this 'gift' of his more then he will ever realize because most do not wish to see anymore bloodshed of any type.
Shooting. He might not like fighting and he might be rather terrible at hand to hand combat but if he must he is a rather goof shot. Hitting where he aimed 90% of the time. He can hit some of the most difficult shots even if it means he has to calculate the precise angle he most shot at something to have the bullet ricochet off to hit his target and he can do it in his head.
| Weaknesses |
Hesitation. What a weird weakness but it is one of his a rather big one really. If forced into a fight he will always hesitate because he never wishes to harm anyone in any situation. If possible he will look for any way out of it.
Malcom is not a quick thinker, even while talking or writing it takes him a little bit to think through what to say. This has in the past made him the buttend of jokes sense he cant react as quickly with a witty come back to seeing someone jump or kill another but all in all he hasn't effected his social abilities to much or forced him into many confrontations.
Women, oh he loves women. From their glories bodies that come in all shapes, sizes, and colors but their personalities that can be cold, gentle, kind, or witty. All interest him and lives him open to being hurt. It also means that if faced with killing a bad occult or saving a wounded woman he is more likely to save the woman. His thinking makes rationalize that he can always catch them at another time but he wont be able to save the womans life at another time.

| Habits |
Malcom is chalk full of interesting habits but one of the most prominent is when he is trying to stifle a smile of laughter at an inappropriate moment, he crinkles up his nose slightly and gently bites his bottom lip while one hand starts tugging at the hair on the back of his neck. Many have pointed out this habit unsure of why he does it and no matter how he try's he cant stop doing it nor can he explain why he does it.
Another interesting habit of his is when he is in deep thought, he fiddles with anything in reach. Be it the buttons on his shirt, car keys, pencil, or even a piece of someone else's hair. Again this has been pointed out to him on numerous occasions but he doesn't rightly care because when he is that deep in thought he understands he wouldn't be able to keep himself from doing it anyways.
| Hobbies |
Writing, it might be his job sense he is journalist/author of mystery thrillers but it is a true hobby that just so happens to pay rather well and give some very interesting connections. He has thousands of journals stacked neatly by date order in the basement of his home, his sister likes to tease him that he is going to get trapped under a stack one day when they topple over but even the teasing warnings cant make him consider getting rid of any of them or to start only writing on his laptop.
Though most would consider it a hobby, he does, running. He does it when he can, driving out of his way to his sisters place to run the well beaten paths on her property. The filling of the fresh air battering his face and tugging his shaggy hair always clears his mind and its almost guaranteed that afterward he will have dinner and drinks with Mercy when she is home and he will be able to write two or three new chapters on whatever book he is writing or finish the article he was working one for the paper.
Unlike with Mercy, he doesn't write educational papers for fun in his spare time, instead if he doesn't feel like running or writing he will go into the city sit at the little cafรฉ and people watch. Telling himself comedic or depressing stories about the people he sees. Not only does it help his imaginative juices get going, it allows him sometime where he doesn't have to think about work, the Jaegers, training, His sister and her far to dangerous job for his liking, or whatever other problems he may be facing at the time.
| Fears |
Agliophobia: For those of you who don't know, this is the fear of pain. In Malcom's case its not really the fear of being hurt or feeling pain but inflicting it on others. Its why he hesitates when in a fight, why he always shots to kill so he knows there pain is short lived, it isn't a crippling fear but its a fear all the same and if he thinks about hurting others for to long he will become shaky and light headed. After harming someone he will often have a panic attack.
The next fear is rather simple, after his fathers passing he became deathly afraid of anything happening to Mercy. Which is why he pulled strings at the police station with the captain (A signed copy of his most famous book series and a promise to place a character based on the Captain in a position of power without being a bad guy in his next book) to get her made a detective, he couldn't keep her from being a police officer but he could keep her away from a normal patrol beat and out of danger unless she is on a case.

| Personality |
Malcom is a pretty well rounded person, persuasive but gentle never pushing someone that they shouldn't do. Giving them logical reasons to do something they should or to not do something that they shouldn't, this was a skill and a fundamental part of his personality from early on. He was often brought in on meetings whose content wasn't too graphic for a child from a young age because he could talk anyone into seeing his point. It didn't mean that they would have to agree but he could at least get them to admit that his reasoning's had worth. It helped that he was extremely intelligent, it made everything he said, and says, have more worth. No one ever feels as if he is just BSing them into something but feels as if his points are logical and well thought out enough to think about. He is also one of the most compassionate people to ever exist. Yes it makes it hard for him to harm anyone or anything even f it is for the better good because his empathy is so strong but this is a trait that is often appreciated more then the fact that he is so persuasive.
Though, he is probably one of the biggest procrastinators around. Barley meeting deadlines, showing up to meeting late, more often then not having to rewear an dirty outfit before he does his laundry. Compared to his good traits this seems like a little thing but add it to the fact that he is yonderly, which means absent minded and controlling, especially to those he loves. Key point here how he interfered with Mercy's job, he doesn't take no well when he thinks what he is doing is for the best and will become irritated the more someone thwarts his attempts at 'helping' them even if what he is wanting to do would be more like taking over. It makes him both a lovable person and someone most people secretly hate. All in all he is well rounded, good traits that keep him in good favor and bad that remind people he is still just human in ever sense of the word.

| History |
Born on the chilly January night to a very proud Vincent Kyles and his wife Lynn, whom he adored greatly, Malcom came into the world silent as a spring rain. His eyes already wide open in apparent interest of the world around him. Though both parents were apart of the local Venatores clan in Carmel, his father from an early age knew his son wasn't destined to be a great fighter and instead would be a different type of hero. One who used words instead of war. Malcom's early life was one filled with reading, writing, training, and of course laughter. Oh, the memories he has of his father coming home from a late night, right before the young boys bedtime, where Vincent would spin his laughing wife around before picking up his son for a quick spin before story time. The clear memory of his mothers deep brown eyes glowing with the love she felt for her husband and child. Yes, his early childhood was grand and happy.
When Malcom was five he can remember clearly the look on his fathers face when he came to pick up the boy from school, that by itself was odd sense it was always his mother unless it was a training day, he remembers how his father took them to the park and cuddled him close before breaking the horrible news. On her way to the grocery store Lynn Kyles was hit T bone style by a woman yelling at her three kids in the backseat, and died on impact. It wasn't long after that, that Vincent Kyles picked up shop and moved the duo out to Elk River. Hoping the change would help his young son get over his mothers passing not that the regal man could fault the young boy because he also was deeply wounded by her untimely death. About seven months later Mercy was found in the burnt down house in Maine was relocated to the Jaegers in Elk River. Where two months later Malcom found out she was now apart of his family. At first the boy truly disliked the little girl, at six he had no patients for the three year old but that soon changed and he came to adore her especially how hard to worked to get approval.
When Malcom was nineteen Vincent passed away in his sleep, old age was the reason and the young man was hurt and deeply affected but seeing how devastated Mercy was he picked up his big boy pants and quickly grew up. It felt odd being in the parenting role for his sister and best friend so they quickly came to a deal. Neither of them would keep secrets and no matter what would always tell the other where they would be and when they would be home. It worked out well for them, the raised each other and two years later when Mercy turned eighteen and moved herself into the backwoods Malcom was deeply scared and proud of his baby sister. When she started at the academy a year later, he was worried but happy she was making her own choices, when he published his first thriller Mercy bought a copy and made him sign it along with every book after that, when she passed her evaluations and became a full fledge Police Officer Malcom took her out for dinner. And so on. After Mercy was shot at when she was called to a domestic disturbance, Malcom stepped in. It was the first time he truly realized the power he had as a well known Author and as Vincent Kyles son, who had also been well respected. He was proud of what he did even though his sister refused to speak to him for a month, she never did say why she was angry at him though.
