Malicia

From King's Quest Omnipedia

Malicia is an evil fairy and enchantress. She is a niece of the Three Fates, and the sister of Titania and the Weaver of Dreams. She's got a little dog called Cuddles

She sought to destroy the realm of Eldritch (by activating a volcano) and begin a new land over it's ruins. Toward the goals of this plot she kidnapped the troll Otar, the king of the Vulcanix Underground, and replaced him with an impostor (Edgar, her nephew, whom she kidnapped and transformed into a troll). She also beheaded Count Tsepish (the protector of the land of Ooga Booga), and let an evil undead creature known as the Boogeyman loose on that land. She imprisoned the Lady Mab (leader of Dreamland) in ice, transformed Attis (the Lord of the Hunt, husband of the harvest goddess Ceres, and a member of the court of Etheria) into a stag and Ceres into an oak tree. She fatally wounded the tree, placing the world in danger because if Ceres died, spring would never come again and the world would be in a state of eternal winter.

Malicia was defeated by Princess Rosella of Daventry and through magic was changed into an infant. In her infant form, she was taken in by Queen Titania (Malicia's sister) and her husband Oberon to be raised and given a second chance at goodness.

[edit] Behind the scenes

Although according to Roberta Williams discussions of the Society of the Black Cloak were limited to the making of King's Quest 6, many fans believe it is possible that Malicia was a member. Evidence such as her billowing black cloak, her lust for power, and her sinister demeanor all support this theory.
