Character Information
Name: Malcolm Reynolds
Age: 31
Fandom: Firefly

Housing: One bedroom
Point In Fandom Taken From: Post-BDM (Big Damn Movie, Serenity)
Brief History: Malcolm's main mission is to keep his crew alive and to keep his ship flying. Mal says of himself: "[If the] Wind blows Northerly, I go North."

Mal was born on September 20, 2486. He was raised by his mother and "about 40 hands" on a ranch on the planet Shadow. Though Mal usually seems more practical than intellectual, he occasionally surprises his friends by displaying familiarity with disparate literature varying from the works of Xiang Yu (a fictional psychotic dictator) to poems by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, though he has, however, no idea "who" Mona Lisa is.

Mal volunteered for the Independents army during the Unification War against the Alliance, gaining the rank of sergeant during that time. His loyal second-in-command Zoe was by his side for most of the war, surviving many dangerous conflicts with him. The show mentions three such battles, including the Battle of Du-Khang in 2510, and a long winter campaign in New Kashmir where he commanded a platoon. Mal was also involved in the ground campaign during the Battle of Sturges, which according to Badger was the "bloodiest and shortest battle in all the war", although Mal considers it a distant second. Mal fought in many more battles, but the turning point for him and the Independents came with their physical and emotional defeat at the Battle of Serenity Valley on the planet Hera. Mal was given a brevet promotion to Captain during the Battle of Serenity Valley to take command of the ever-increasing number of Independent troops who were losing their officers at the hands of the Alliance, and Mal is described as having commanded at least 2000 men. He was attached to the 57th Overlanders Brigade; Badger calls it the "Balls and Bayonets Brigade".

After the war, Mal acquired his own ship, a derelict 03-K64 Firefly-class transport. Mal named the ship Serenity after the Battle of Serenity Valley, the decisive battle of the Unification War.
