Does anyone else just suddenly think of all the side characters that were present for like one or two books and then disappeared? Like, is Malcolm still alive or is he dead? It’s probably a high chance but I still wanna know for sure.
I think Malcolm is canonically the oldest side character we run into? So based on the 20 year gap between books 11-12 I’m assuming he’s passed on by the time we get to TRR. I do have an OC character bouncing around in my head that I may write a fic on one day, where Malcolm trained an apprentice (because why let all that medical knowledge go to waste???) and she helps form the Royal Medical Corps (because Araluen seems desperately in need of some standardized medicine). Anyways Maddie needs a teammate her own age and I personally like Ranger/Healer shenanigans ☺️
