Biography:
Malcolm Merlyn, portrayed by John Barrowman, is a prominent antagonist in The CW's Arrowverse, known primarily as the Dark Archer. A wealthy businessman and close friend of Oliver Queen's father, Robert, Malcolm harbors a dark secret: he's a highly skilled archer and assassin.
Driven by grief and a thirst for revenge following his wife's murder in the Glades, Malcolm undergoes rigorous training with the League of Assassins. This experience transforms him into a formidable warrior, capable of matching Oliver Queen's skills.
He orchestrates the "Undertaking," a plan to destroy the Glades, believing it to be the only way to cleanse Starling City of its criminal element. This act places him directly in opposition to Oliver, who is determined to save the city.
Over the course of the series, Malcolm's motivations shift. He becomes the Ra's al Ghul, head of the League of Assassins, and his complex relationship with his daughter, Thea Queen, often influences his actions. He ultimately sacrifices himself to save Thea from a landmine in the season 5 finale.
