History:
(Marvel Frontier Comics Unlimited#1/6) <1757> - Having believed he had seen a demon (although it had just been an ape in a mask) at a Hellfire Club meeting, Charles Grey stabbed a knife into his own chest. Though his body fell to the ground, dead, his spirit remained, though he could not interact with others. (Marvel Frontier Comics Unlimited#1/6 (fb) - BTS) - Charles'
descendant Malkin was abusive to his wife, Eleanor, particularly
while
he was drinking alcohol. Eleanor asked Malkin to stop as his behavior was not seemly, but he replied that "seemly" was a piss poor word, which was just right for "Miss Mousey." He then slapped her in the face, knocking her to the ground, and asked her why she didn't go find some cheese. |

Malkin then took off his coat and prepared to batter Eleanor to learn to obey her master. However, Charles' spirit then forced Malkin to stab himself in the chest, after which Charles possessed his body, reanimating it. Malkin watched helplessly as Eleanor helped Charles in his body to his feet, wondering why he was still there. The following afternoon, Malkin
spoke to Charles,
telling him that he recognized him as his ancestor, and Charles
confirmed this, noting that even he didn't know how he did it.
Charles
then noted that he was expecting "Matthew" soon to exorcise him.
When Eleanor brought in a stillborn kitten, Malkin's spirit took up residence within the kitten, reanimating it. In the kitten, Malkin became a close companion to Eleanor for a year. Seeing his chance when Charles eventually attempted to kill Eleanor with a poker, Malkin used his cat-body to knock a vase onto Charles head, killing him. Malkin then caused the cat to jump out a window and impale himself on the spiked fence. |
However, by the time he returned to reanimate his own body, Eleanor had already beaten its brain to a pulp with a poker, leaving nothing for either Charles or Malkin to possess.

This story was to be a prologue of a series called "The Fallen," which I don't believe was ever published. These stories were part of Marvel UK's Frontier Comics, kind of like the Marvel Knights or something...a little darker and edgier.
I'm not sure quite what the deal was
with the circumstances under which the spirits could take a host. The
host body apparently had to be dead, but it still had to be functionally
intact. For instance, a stab wound to the heart was workable. A pulped
head was not workable. It would seem that being impaled on a large
enough object was not workable either.
Odd little nine page story.
Malkin previously had a sub-profile in
the Charles Grey profile originally published 12/18/2005.
This profile was
completed 01/01/2026, but
its publication was delayed as it was intended for the Appendix 25th
anniversary 's celebratory event.

"Matthew" tried to stand up for his sister and replied, "Sir,
enough I
say!" but Malkin hurled his liquor glass at him, called him a
sniveling
weasel and told him to get out. As he rushed Matthew out the
door, he
told him that she was his wife and that he would treat her as
she saw
fit.
