Romir Hiregaard was the father of Sir Tristen Hiregaard. Out of jealous rage he slew his wife and her dancing instructor due to the mistaken belief that they were having an affair. Romir's wife cursed him to murder any future love interest and any man who angered him. To escape the curse, Romir committed suicide, but the curse did not die with his physical body. It was passed on to his son Tristen in the form of Malken.[1] Malken, and perhaps Romir, can only be truly destroyed with eradication of the Hiregaard Bloodline.[2]

Some fans have proposed that Malken is actually the ghost of Romir, possessing his descendants.
