Shortly after, he visited Amalthus in Indol and informed him of his plan to attack Torna before leaving. In response, Amalthus sought out a Driver for Pneuma to stop Malos and found Prince Addam of the Kingdom of Torna, who resonated with Mythra and stood against Malos, beginning the Aegis War.Ībout a year after Mythra's awakening, Malos attacked and sank the Titan Coeia with his personal Siren. After Amalthus was promoted by Praetor Rhadallis to Quaestor, Malos decided that Amalthus was not motivated in achieving their goal and abandoned him. Amalthus and Indol saw Malos as the embodiment of the Architect's will, and Malos claimed the title of "the Aegis" for himself after an Indoline artifact.

In order to follow through on this wish, Amalthus used Malos's immense power to enforce the Indoline Praetorium's will and begin destroying the world. Being a Blade, Malos quickly began to take on Amalthus's personality traits, including his hatred of humanity and his desire to destroy it. When Amalthus returned to Alrest, he resonated with Malos, becoming his Driver. Logos's Core Crystal, stored within Elysium, was taken by Amalthus when he climbed the World Tree, along with Pneuma's Core Crystal. Logos, along with Pneuma, was modified by the Architect to process data received from the Blade system. Malos, whose true name is eventually revealed to be Logos (Japanese: ロゴス, Rogosu), was originally one of three units of the Trinity Processor. Unlike his counterpart Mythra, Malos undergoes no appearance changes throughout the game, presumably because by distancing himself from his Driver he is unable to master his true potential. In Xenoblade Chronicles 2 this is initially hidden by a chestplate identical to Jin's. He wears black plate armor with staggered plate pauldrons as an Aegis he has a purple, crucifix-shaped core crystal in the centre of his chest. Malos is a well-built man with fair skin, short jagged black hair and grey eyes. However, Malos in truth is unsure of his purpose in the world and at times doubts that his will is his own. To that end, he believes that the Aegises are the Architect's weapons to erase this "mistake," and he views Pyra/ Mythra as a fool for not wanting to carry out that supposed purpose.


He views humans as little more than failures and that they do nothing but wage war and destruction. He immediately set upon destroying all life in Alrest.
