History:
Malagigi was court wizard and trusted advisor to Carolus Magnus (also known as Charlemagne), king of the Franks. After the death of the woman warrior Bradamante, Malagigi raised her daughter Valda and made it possible for her to become a knight.

Malagigi first met the American Indian warrior Arak when they were both imprisoned by an enemy. After their escape, the two men went to Carolus Magnus's court. Malagigi was captured by the sorceress Angelica, and Carolus Magnus sent Arak on a long quest to rescue him.

After his rescue Malagigi had many adventures with Arak, but the two eventually parted. Arak sailed to find his homeland, and Malagigi began his return to Frankland. Malagigi's later history is still unknown.
