Blood Armor

The iconic black and red plate mail of Malkav, being one of the reasons he was called the blood knight. Originally built while he was still in service as a bodyguard to Lagrigoyi, the armour was built to not only to heighten Malkav's intimidating presence, but also allow him to move and fight in during the day. The visual of Malkav in the armour would become different symbols through Undinia's history, from representing Lagrigoyi's power under the Phervians, to despair during the slave revolts, and that someone had royally messed up during his time at Talthorn. After the Crisis of the Fey age it became a symbol of the Celestial Empire.  

Description

A suit of full plate mail with overlapping plates are the joints. Most of these plates are black with red embellishments. This all sits over heavy chain mail covered in crimson cloth with a crimson lion cloth with a plate attachment hangs to the knees. The right pauldron also carries the entangled scroll of house Lagrigoyi, though the entanglement is red for blood rather then the normal purple. The full face helmet is a black metal face visor with glowing red eyes with spikes covering the dome and red cloth covering the metal sides.
