Malacor
The primordial Void entity that seeks to consume all Source and annihilate Rivellon.
The Void Dragon is the major antagonist of Divinity Original Sin, a primordial entity of pure Void that serves as the game's final boss. There is no demon lord named Malacor in the game's canon; instead, the Void Dragon operates through the Cult of the Void Dragon, a fanatical faction seeking to unleash its master upon Rivellon. The final confrontation takes place at the Source Temple, where the Void Dragon awaits to consume all Source energy.

Lore & Background
The Void Dragon is an ancient, formless entity from the Void, a realm of nothingness that exists beyond the mortal plane. It is not a transformed sorcerer but a cosmic force of annihilation, seeking to devour all Source—the lifeblood of Rivellon. The Cult of the Void Dragon, led by fanatical followers rather than a demon lord, works to open a rift for their master. The Void Dragon itself is encountered as the final boss at the Source Temple, not in any 'Temple of the Forgotten' location.
In Their Own Story
The shadows in the temple seemed deeper than natural darkness could allow. Malacor stood before the swirling vortex of raw magic, his skeletal fingers tracing the air as if conducting a silent symphony. He did not need to shout; the Void whispered to him, promising eternity. Below, the intruders climbed toward his sanctum, unaware they were merely instruments in his final ritual. A cold smile touched bone lips. Let them bring the storm; he would drink it dry.
Reader's Guide
Malacor is the mastermind behind the Cult of the Lich King and the overarching villain players must confront to conclude their journey. His character arc represents a perversion of the Godwoken destiny, choosing undeath over legacy. As a Lich, he wields potent necromancy and Void manipulation, capable of summoning undead minions and draining life force from opponents. He is highly resistant to physical damage but vulnerable to specific magical countermeasures during combat encounters. His defining moments include the revelation of his identity in the final act and the climactic battle where players must stop him from consuming the Source's energy. Defeating him resolves the central conflict regarding the Void's fate.
