PERSONALITY PROFILE:
It is strongly hinted that in his youth, Malefor was similar to Spyro: kind, brave, and eager to learn. Unfortunately, contrary to him, he was prideful and overzealous. His limitless potential and belief in his greatness led him to think of himself as superior and infallible, and so he fell. Malefor is a horribly cruel, merciless, sadistic, violent, tyrannical, and power-hungry Dragon of pure malevolence. He is very collected, imperturbable, and courteous, albeit scornful and taunting, but his refined facade only highlights his imposing and menacing presence.
He is also overconfident, egotistical, genocidal, self-righteous, and self-confident, dismissing others' beliefs as irrelevant; a fatal flaw that led to his downfall. He is willing to use anything and anyone to fulfil his goals and remorselessly destroys all obstacles in his way. He also takes pleasure in killing and suffering of other creatures. Malefor is immensely intelligent, perspicacious, cunning, and manipulative, devising multi-layered plans, leading people where he wants them without them knowing, and adapting to circumstances. He is a perfect orator who can subtly instill doubt in the most determined minds to bend and break them, as seen before the final battle.
In his twisted point of view, he does not regard himself as evil but as a messiah of some sort, destined to purify the world. He states that destroying the world is the duty of every Purple Dragon, and he tells Spyro that each one of them before him pursued the same goal (a lie with little doubt, as he was stated to be the first Purple Dragon). He heavily dislikes the value of bonds, underestimating them and viewing them as weapons to weaken his opponents.

WRITER'S NOTES:
Malefor is presumably the most evil and darkest villain in the Spyro franchise. When in reality, it’s revealed that something much more powerful (The Darkness) corrupted Malefor into the power-hungry sadist he'd become.
As he was lied to by The Darkness and made into its pawn. He watched as his friends Princess Elyssa and Luciana Tepes perished to this creature. In fact, he is the Original Spyro, who went back in time to create a time loop, thus creating a branching timeline in the end.
I also personally see Malefor as a Misanthropic Dragon in my version of Spyro the Dragon (Verse). He hates humans and dragons alike, they did nothing as he suffered, now he wants them all to pay, in death.
