Count Malo is a noble of the icy kingdom of Frigia. He serves as the personal bodyguard of Queen Fria. Queen Fria, like almost every woman on Mongo, takes an interest in the handsome Flash Gordon. Jealous, Count Malo tries to kill Flash 3 times, shooting him with an Ice gun dressing as a doctor and trying to stab him, and then quick-freezing the pool that Flash is swimming in.
