A former acolyte of Aleister Crowley's, Malherbe has since abandoned the path of intellectual enquiry and turned to the 'dark side'. And as this is Crowley's description of him, that must be a very dark side indeed... Also known to Lionheart as "The Limehouse Vampire", Malherbe was reponsible for the disappearance of a number of young girls in the East End of London, but has long since disappeared off the face of the earth - with no-one who ever met him alive to tell the tale.

Known to Crowley as a leading figure in the Cult of Shub-Niggurath, it surely won't be long before our heroes cross Malherbe's path in their investigation of that mysterious group. But will they recognise him when they do?

Malherbe is played by Johnny Zorro.
