Malcur was once the Dark Lord, and he was the creator of the shadow amulet. He and Opacus ate The Two Trees, and killed Finwe. He is thought to be "the creator of evil". Before he turned evil, he was known as Bauglir Beleri in Arda and Antarctica. Originally the brightest, most handsome, most powerful first chick, he fell through jealousy, pride and hatred of others until he became evil, who spent himself in wasteful wrath and in effort to gain complete domination over the very substance of the New World.
