Game of Thrones: Dragonfire
Malachite
Team Recovery and damage support
Malachite supplies scheduled Recovery to the whole trio while contributing Tactical attacks. Physical support and later Advantage give him several useful relationships, but his Fire-oriented Vanguard asks a different question of the left ally.
Negative affinity: Siege.

Sources and uncertainty

They are reviewed community mechanics, not publisher confirmation of every effect. Tactical roles, placement and partner guidance are Wyrmwise inferences from those mechanics.
