Biography
Early life
Malcolm attended university with Elisabeth Shannon and the two briefly dated. She ended the relationship after learning he did not want to have children because the world was dying. (Instinct)
Terra Nova
Malcolm arrived in Terra Nova on the fifth pilgrimage and later became the Chief Science Officer. He got Elisabeth put on the list for the tenth pilgrimage after hearing that her husband, Jim, had been sentenced to Golad prison. He was in the field when Elisabeth arrived, but soon returned to greet her, only to be shocked to learn that Jim had also come to Terra Nova. When the colony was attacked by a swarm of pterosaurs, Malcolm helped examine some specimens and developed a synthetic pheromone in order to lure the swarm to a new breeding site. (Instinct)
Malcolm accompanied Jim to Outpost 3 after it had been quarantined. He helped Elisabeth, who had partially lost her memory and believed she was still in college and dating Malcolm. He too eventually succumbed to the pathogen that infected Elisabeth and began losing his memory. When he panicked, Jim punched him, knocking him out. When Leah Marcos tried to leave the colony with Mira's mysterious item, Malcolm examined the device but could not find any way to open the device. Malcolm helped examine the death scene of Ken Foster believing it to have been an accident, Malcolm watched Elisabeth perform Innovo-surgery on a damaged Ankylosaur egg.

After an electromagnetic pulse disabled all the colony's technology, Malcolm showed Commander Taylor the redundancy - the chip fabricator. When Malcolm found Maddy Shannon using the DNA Sampler and that she was investigating Ken Horton, Malcolm helped her but the results were inconclusive. Malcolm discovered that a dragonfly that the Sixers were using to communicate with their spy in the colony responded to a certain frequency and then fixed the broken wing of the dragonfly to help Taylor track the Sixer spy. Jim later had Malcolm filter some paint sealant that had a drop of the Sixers spy's blood in it. (Nightfall, Proof, Vs., Now You See Me)
