History
Much of Bloody Malth is shrouded in mystery. Very little is known about him or his past. Even his real name is a mystery. Bloody Malth is believed to be a descendant of a dark European clan of warriors. He wears an iron mask and wields a shield. Both relics are believed to be artifacts that he inherited from his supposed clan. What is known about Bloody Malth is that he studied oriental philosophies and martial arts, including Ninjutsu, during his childhood. He eventually mastered the art of Ninjutsu and he became a warrior. He also gained the ability to harness thunder.

Bloody Malth was eventually discovered by an evil sorcerer named Jaquio. He quickly became the leader of Jaquio's forces. One day, Jaquio ordered Bloody Malth to disguise himself as a ninja. Bloody Malth was then ordered to fight Jo Hayabusa who was from the Hayabusa ninja clan. On a moonlit night, both warriors engaged in a duel of life or death. Jo was quickly defeated but he wasn't killed. Instead, Bloody Malth placed a mask onto Jo's face which controlled his mind. Bloody Malth took Jo and returned to Jaquio's temple which was located deep in the forests of South America.
