Malah

Malah was a healer.

A kind and inherently optimistic woman, Malah was nevertheless worn down by many battles against the forces of evil. Her compassion as a healer extended to all of humankind, if not the forces of Hell.

Early Life
There was a time when Malah thought she was destined to become a Sorceress. However, her powers never developed beyond the simplest of spells. Instead, she pursued the path of a healer (taking an oath of compassion, able to heal almost any wound with time and energy. She accumulated a lifetime of experience in this role.

The Lord of Destruction
When Baal lay siege to Harrogath, she did her best to help the many wounded and dying. She was plagued, however, by the fear that there might be no ultimate recovery for her people or Sanctuary. Furthermore, there was a shortage of medical supplies, and any who might supply Harrogath demanded large amounts of gold.

During the siege, she lost her last living child, Bannuk, to a demon's spear. Grief and rage both affected her, though she was able to admit that Bannuk's quick death was a blessing. At some point, Larzuk asked her for twenty of her finest sheepskins. He said he would fill them with hot air and float like a cloud above the battlefield to spy on Baal's legions. She refused, and wondered if the siege had driven him mad.

Towards the end of the siege, she overheard Nihlathak and Anya arguing about the death of Anya's father. The day afterwards, Anya was gone.

When a group of heroes arrived at Harrogath, Malah was greatful for their presence. Among them was one of Bannuk's friends, and Isendra, a Sorceress. She asked her if, after the siege, she might be able to teach her some magic.

As the siege continued, she told the heroes about what she'd seen in regards to Nihlathak and Anya's argument. She warned them not to trust Nihlathak, stating that she believed him to be responsible for Anya's disappearance, and that Anya was still alive. The heroes found Anya, and Malah gave them a potion to free her.

Ultimately, Baal was defeated, but not before he was able to corrupt the Worldstone. She concluded that if Tyrael said it had to be destroyed, so be it. The world would be forever changed, but who could say it wouldn't be for the better?

The Worldstone was destroyed, but at the cost of devasting the surrounding area.

In-game
Malah is an NPC in Harrogath, in of Diablo II.

Malah is involved in the quest. She implores the player character to find Anya, who had gone missing.

Once Anya is located in the Frozen River, she gives the player a potion that releases Anya from her icy prison. After finishing the quest, she gives the player a Scroll of Resistance that permanently boosts the character's resistances by 10.

Sometimes potions, scrolls, or keys may disappear from Malah's inventory for a short time when there are too many miscellaneous weapons.
