Alas for Darkblade, the great power within the temple was something not easily bent to mortal will. It is a testament to his determination that he not only survived his journey, but at last arrived at the temple of Kul Hadar. For long years, he played the deadly game of politics and assassination and played it well, but finally Malus' thirst for power set him on a quest that led him deep into the Realm of Chaos. Malus Darkblade, the Tyrant of Hag Graef, was always ambitious, even by the lofty standards of Hag Graef's warring families. Malus Darkblade is a Dark Elves Legendary Lord unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer II with The Shadow and the Blade.

He has a similar skill tree to the Overseer lords but with the addition of a powerful unique skill line and Boundless Cruelty.
