Dr. Malcolm Betruger is likely one of the most interesting characters in the Doom series. He worked hard for a company that undervalued him, and in response, he took it upon himself to find a different way to learn about Hell. Even if it came at the cost of the human population of Mars City.

Although regarded as the villain of Doom 3, and the expansion, Resurrection of Evil, Betruger, or the Maledict was also a victim of a system that did not value his creative vision. What pushed Dr. Malcolm Betruger to betray his species? How did he become The Maledict in The Resurrection of Evil? and how does his story end? In this video, I explore the lore and story behind Dr. Malcolm Betruger in Doom.
