Sir Maligant was a paladin of Wee Jas. A hundred years ago, he found a great battle against an evil general known as the Sleeper. In the end, the two slew each other, and the Sleeper's army was defeated. Sir Maligant's body was carried to a nearby temple, where an exarch of Wee Jas appeared and instructed the priests to consecrate Sir Maligant's remains in a special ritual at a particular place on a particular date a hundred years hence.

Sir Maligant's body lay in the temple's crypts for a hundred years. Though the temple had been rededicated to the Raven Queen due to Wee Jas's death, the priesthood still honored the exarch's request and exhumed the body for the ritual. While traveling to the appointed place, however, they were set upon by cultists seeking to resurrect the Sleeper, and Sir Maligant's body was stolen.

The priestesses called upon the Challengers of the Unspeakable to retrieve his body, which had been taken to the Sleeper's Tomb. After slaying the cultists and preventing Sir Maligant's bones from being used in a ritual to reawaken the Sleeper, they returned his remains to the priestesses, who conducted their own ritual. Sir Maligant's spirit manifested above his body, pledged his eternal service to Wee Jas, and then lanced up into the night sky.
