Full Name: Malcolm Reynolds Birthdate: September 30, 2486 Age: 32 Birthplace: Shadow Occupation: Captain of Serenity

Background: Malcolm Reynolds was born on the planet Shadow and was raised by his mother on a ranch, along with 40 ranchhands. He joined the Browncoats in the war against the Alliance. He was a sergeant in the army and recieved an award for his valor in the battle of Serenity Valley. After the war, Mal wanted nothing more than to get as far away from the Alliance as possible so he bought a Firefly class transport and named her Serenity. He brought Zoe along as his first mate, then hired a pilot (Wash), a mechanic (Bester, who was later replaced by Kaylee, see Kaylee's bio), and rented out one of his shuttles to a Companion (Inara). He later aquired a gun hand (Jayne) and then picked up passengers on Persephone (Book, Simon and River). Mal will do any job, "Don't much care what it is" as long as the money's good or the job's interesting. While he's being hunted by the Alliance because of River and Simon, he still manages to take a few jobs (one right under the Alliance's nose [see "Ariel"]). In Serenity (the Movie), Mal comes up against his biggest threat yet, an operative sent by the Alliance to kill River Tam at any cost.
