Malcolm (Step by Step)

 Last Ones Left - Tupac Shakur

"If we do this, we'll be risking everyone's life for a crate of food that might not even be there to begin with. If we do do this, then we go all the way. Both of you—frankly, none of us—don't know what's even out there with this storm on us. Shit, all we know is the there's dead people outside waiting for our flesh and bones."

- Malcolm to Amanda and Brock about leaving the high school.

Malcolm is a character in Step by Step. He serves as a National Guard soldier at Summercreek High School. His antics include a forceful attitude which branded him cruel man. Despite this, he has close ties to most of the people in authority. He temporarily became the leading man of the military station following Brock's injury.

Personality
Hardened prematurely by the horrors of the apocalypse, Malcolm dealt with his grief by using violence on others. In retaliation for his wife, who he found out had succumbed to a mature strain of the Disease, he vowed to not let his emotions control him. Forming a destructive attitude allowed for Malcolm to become a determined soldier and a bold leader of his platoon, and made him well-respected.

Background
Pre-Apocalypse= Malcolm struggled through his life from point to point in the United States. Lastly, he settled in Indiana before joining the Indiana National Guard. He married his wife, Sharon, beforehand, and they had a son named Danny.

As the pandemic began to spark panic throughout the United States, Malcolm and Danny were able to not catch the disease, but, unfortunately Sharon did. She eventually died from the sickness and was among the thousands of cases that were being made by the new disease.

Malcolm's respects were short-lived as he was pulled back into the National Guard, thus leaving his son, Danny, to live with the neighbors until he came back. Following the death of his wife, Malcolm dealt with his guilt. He then defended from within the high school's military station. He worked with the soldiers in his unit, but ultimately he was forced to retreat into the school with what remained of them.. When he encountered Joseph, he became aggressive and beat  Eugene to the ground. Later, he and other soldiers retreated into the school's gymnasium.
