Maloker was an Old One who was responsible for the creation of the first vampires. When humans started using magic against the Old Ones to lock them in the Deeper Well, he needed an army to fight them, and created vampires to do so. He was ultimately unsuccessful and was one of the last Old Ones to walk the Earth before he was sealed in the Deeper Well.
Following the end of magic, he was resurrected by Simone Doffler in an attempt to make herself a Vampire-Slayer hybrid, only to perish shortly thereafter when the new Seed of Wonder took root.
Because the most powerful Old Ones could never be completely eradicated, Maloker's essence lived on even though his corporal body was destroyed. He was able to come back into being when Xander wrote into the Vampyr book that "Dracula became the most powerful vampire of all", causing Dracula to transform into Maloker.
Characteristics
Like most Old Ones, Maloker was a massive demon. He had a bat-like appearance, with pointed ears and loose, wing-like folds of skin connecting his arms and body. He had sharp fangs and claws, a crest-like protrusion on the back of his head, and charcoal or gray fur covering most of his body.
Powers and Abilities
As an Old One, Maloker had strength superior to most demons, vampires and Slayers. Maloker's immense size also allowed him to tackle several opponents at once. His fangs were sharp and his jaws were extremely powerful he could use them to rip other demons apart. He appeared to be capable of holding his own against several demons and creatures, along with deities and magic practitioners.
