Malachi is noted by the other characters to be smart, confident and athletic. He is not as talkative as the other boys, but this is implied to not be through choice. He always has a calm, gentle expression and is portrayed as mature and hard-working. But soon enough his manipulative personality starts to show when he doesn't his way. It doesn't help that he is self-aware and will do whatever it takes to get what he wants. There is only Malachi.
