Ancient Mythical Chief from 4.000 Years ago even before the Chaos event at the altar. He knew about the Echidna Clan, as they chickened out from invading his Tribe and people. He is not great friends or allies with them. Nor did he help other countries from the brutal expansion war Pachacamac had.

Malthus is a very self centered Chief, and believed his Mythic Magic was the best that ever existed on Mobius. All of this shatters when he hears about the legend of the 7 Chaos Emeralds. But unlike Pachacamac. He encourages him to go take that energy, and come and see if he thinks that will defeat the Mythicals.

But when Malthus was notified that the Echidnas did invade the Altar and got wiped out overnight. That proved Malthus that this energy is stronger then his energy source. And he is not living that down.
