One must not take too much pride in their skills. I am skilled in both magic and manmade weapons, but this does not make me perfect. No man is perfect.
„
~ Malthus
Malthus is one of the two deuteragonists of Rethilor: A War of Sins and Virtues. He is an elderly wizard/warrior who has been protecting Rethilor for decades. He serves as Motomo’s mentor, and helped him become a better person.
Malthus is a wise old man who seems to be very knowledgable about experiences. Despite this, he isn’t arrogant about his abilities, and admits to not being perfect. He believes that nobody is perfect, but tries to help everyone become the best person they can be. He heavily supports the virtues, and is heavily against the sins. However, despite being an amazing mentor for Motomo, he admits that he loses his patience around children, and that as a result, he tries to stay away from them.

Quotes[]
“
Decades ago... The sins tried to take over our land of Rethilor... They took countless lives... But the virtues came to protect us. And I helped lead everyone in central village. I pushed through many sins and demons. I killed the old sin of envy with my sword and magic combined, and everyone saw me as a hero. The old humility sacrificed herself to put an end to the war, and the other virtues and I made a deal with Pride, to keep hell and everyone else safe by keeping them in hell... Pride honoured his deal... Or so I thought. Pride deceived us. He was plotting secretly all along. He's gone mad... He is plotting to destroy heaven and take over the entire world by converting it into hell... He has slain a fellow sin.

~ Malthus about the past battle with the sins, and about Pride’s plan.

You still have to take care of your pride, wrath and greed. Try and act the opposite. You have virtues in you as well. You show great diligence. And earlier in that cave, you showed Chastity, as you refused to accept Lust's behaviour.
„
~ Malthus advising Motomo to improve himself.

Alright young man, for your magic to occur, you need a spell book. In a spell book, spells will be written down. (Motomo: So I just write them down and...) No. They will appear over time, through effort and dedication. You can also find materials to craft them. (Motomo: Wait a second, you didn't use a spellbook earlier...) Oh I stored it in my back. I memorise my spells after decades of research. Most young wizards and witches hold spellbooks. Now, I must add, you can only use the spell book bound to you.

~ Malthus teaching Motomo about magic.

It seems we were too late... Search for breathers.

~ Malthus, in total shock of Pride’s genocide.

So, I've been scanning... You've been doing well. Unfortunately not all of your sins are gone, but nobody can ever be sinless.
„
~ Malthus praising Motomo.
“
Well, one should never try to be perfect, as all that leads to is more problems. Everyone has problems. I for example, am absolutely terrible with kids. I end up losing my patience and leaving annoyed. Zoeflare *whispers* tends to get a bit to heated and excited... *stops whispering* So let's make it clear. When I said to purge your sins, I didn't mean be perfect and flawless. No one can ever be perfect. I just wanted you to become a better person, and here you are.
„
~ Malthus to Motomo.

Pride, whether release me or not, you will have to answer for your recent heinous acts! You killed one of your fellow sins, you corrupted dragons, you killed Chastity, and you burned down a town!
„
~ Malthus to Pride.
“
You killed your own family? That is just irredeemable!
„
~ Malthus, showing disgust at Pride admitting to killing his own family.

The ground is shaking and heating up. The demons are coming...

~ Malthus sensing incoming demons.

(Motomo: This feels... Weird. I'm not an outcast. For once I feel like... I belong.) Maybe, you do. This island made you find your true self. Maybe you should stay.
