=Character History=
==Early Years==
Malcolm Rochspare was born in England. As a child prodigy, he attended Oxford University at an early age. From there went to America and attended [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yale_Law_School Yale Law School], where he graduated with honors.

After passing the Connecticut Bar Exam ''(supposedly just to prove he could do it)'', he went to Europe, where he began working for one of the most prestigious law firms in Switzerland. His initial specialty was in contract law, but it wasn't long before he discovered a passion for criminal law.

Malcolm discovered that much like contract law, where he had a knack for discovering minute loopholes and flaws, criminal law has its share of defects that somehow go unnoticed and unchallenged. Finding contract law boring, he used his [[Bilderburg Alliance|connections]] to reach out to the law offices of '''Vogel, Stiles, and Linderman''', where they eagerly welcomed him in and had him working with some of their best defense attorneys.

==Paragon City==
Malcolm first appeared in Paragon City still as an attorney for Vogel, Styles, and Linderman. He built his client database there quickly by offering new trials to those already convicted of crimes. He would then send his clerks out to sabotage the prosecution, telling key witnesses that a trial date was changed or the case was dismissed. Without witnesses, the prosecution would lose their case.

This scheme worked for a while until it was discovered by [[Galatea Powers]]. Then District Attorney [[Alex Wentworth]] met with Malcolm and told him in no uncertain terms that those "games" were over with and suggested he find a new city to "play" in.

But rather than to do that, Malcolm stayed in Paragon City, accepting the position of Chief Legal Council for the intelligence-gathering think tank known as the [[Rocinante Group]]. It was a position that became suspiciously open after the previous council retired without warning. It was an opportunity that repeated itself in equally suspicious haste when the position of Chief Operating Officer was then vacated and Malcolm was again offered the position.

==Rocinante Group==
With Lord Geddy on "leave" ''(after the events in '''[[Time and Changes (GotDS)|"Time and Changes"]]''')'', Malcolm's position as Chief Operating Officer served as the most powerful position in the organization, giving him access to all the group's resources and almost none of the responsibility.

One of his first actions was to enlist the actions of '''[[BloodBlader]]''' to try to eliminate the former law clerk that turned witness against him. Unfortunately the assasin failed through the timely intervention of [[Captain Paragonna]] and [[Pharon]]. But rather than get BloodBlader out of jail, Malcolm simply moved forward with his ultimate goal... to supposedly "purge" the Rocinante Group of all elements of its connection to [[Shadowborn]] as part of its incorporation as a member of the [[Bilderburg Alliance]].
