From the White Wolf Wiki, the most complete White Wolf reference

A Malfean is one of the defeated Primordials, who were killed and now slumber in the depths of the Underworld. The more commonly-accepted (and less confusing) term is Neverborn.

[edit] Confusion

The defeated Primordials are in two general groups: those who were killed and thus slumber in the Underworld, and those who were captured and held in the prison-realm of Malfeas. The dead Primordials are sometimes called Malfeans, while the residents of Malfeas are called Yozis.

Obviously, this can be confusing. As of Exalted Second Edition, the term Malfean appears to be depreciated in favor of Neverborn.

[edit] Connections

For those who choose to view a connection between the Age of Sorrows and the World of Darkness, Malfeans correspond to the Malfeans of Wraith: The Oblivion.

• A Malfean Theory by author Conrad Hubbard, suggesting that the first Primordial death was caused by Malfeas. Thus those he killed were named "Malfean," while Malfeas himself became a Yozi.
