Malcolm Stone

Overview
Malcolm Stone is a 41 year-old Omega widower of two years whose Alpha husband, Phillip Stone, died suddenly. His mission post Phillip is to introduce his Omega daughter, Florence, into London society so that she might find a husband who will save them from becoming dependent upon Phillip's brother for support.

Appearance
Small and masculine, Malcolm appears wary and nervous and dresses in black for his mourning. His has black hair with a streak of brilliant white near the front. His is described as hovering between two states, "that of handsomeness and that of beauty" though Simon notes that there is no litheness to him or "exploited femininity."

Scent
Mal is an older Omega so his scent is not as pronounced as it had been in his youth. It is also weighted with an underlying and permanent musty sort of tone that is recognizable as grief.

As described by Simon Stanbury:

The jump of his heart at the edge of the rocky English cliffs that jut out over the sea. The wind as it ripples through golden fields of barley and grains and the stinging itch of the crops on his hands as they whipped him. The warm sweetness of the housekeeper’s apron when he was just a pup, laughing as he was caught by her and ruffled and spoiled with tarts. The brush of the shell of his mother’s ear over his lips and his nose when she would take him and scent him sweetly before putting him off to bed…

Mates
His first mate, Phillip Stone, was around Malcolm's age and was his mate for the majority of his life. Two years after his death, Mal meets and marries the younger Simon Stanbury whose appearance and scent are remarkably similar to his previous husband.

Family
Mal has a close and brotherly relationship to his brother-in-law Mortimer Stone who is shown to be fiercely protective of him. Florence, Mal's daughter, is wily and clever, hoping to provide her Oma with a lover or a mate who can make his life and his future heats far more bearable.
