"What did you hope to accomplish by coming here, mortal? You have something that belongs to me. And I want it." - The Maledict

The Maledict is the demonic reincarnation of Dr. Malcolm Betruger. He serves as both the main antagonist and the final boss in Resurrection of Evil. The Maledict is first shown in Doom 3's ending cinematic, and is shown on RoE's box art.

The Maledict appears as a mostly skeletal gargoyle with a large set of wings, two legs with clawed feet, a long tail and a head similar to a Forgotten One. He emits a loud, piercing scream and has empty eye sockets. Betruger's head is fused to the creature's tongue and only appears when the Maledict needs to speak. RoE's ending cinematic shows that the demon is very large compared to humans, able to swallow them whole.

While not invulnerable to conventional weaponry, the Maledict is extremely potent in combat because its attacks penetrate the invincibility granted by the Artifact. The Maledict can withstand multiple BFG and Rocket hits even when augmented by the berserk ability of the Artifact. In the final cutscene, the Maledict appears unharmed by the Marine's guns, but it is eventually killed by the Marine using the Artifact.
