Biography
Being a CIA agent, not much is known about Malcolm's personal life. He occasionally mentions having traveled in different countries for highly-classified and often sadistic types of work, claiming he is skilled in "many forms of interrogation, including physical torture, sleep deprivation, and Jewish guilt."[1] While dating Karen, he was living with two waitresses and a law student.[1]
Stanley Walker
When Stanley Walker was put under the witness protection program, Malcolm was assigned to spy on Stanley's family and friends who believe he died of a heart attack. He first meets Will on Central Park, under the pretense of being a recruiter for a non-profit organization.[2]
Malcolm then meets and is immediately smitten by Stanley's wife Karen who has become indifferent towards Stanley for lying to him.[3] Even as Karen and Malcolm start a passionate relationship, her friends remain conflicted as they believe she still loves Stanley.
