Malcolm Youngblood

Malcolm Youngblood is Angus's younger brother. He lacks his elder brother's refinement and panache, but he is every bit as devious and power hungry. Malcolm has been in Australia, managing the Youngblood family holdings in his brother's absence, but he is targeted for bigger things. Angus is pushing Ellen Trieste to fire Trenton Parker and replace him with Malcolm. Angus claims that Malcolm will support Ellen's policies completely, but his real motivation is that his brother will be a bulwark of support for his own ambitions.

Malcolm is not without his own plan. He sees his possible appointment at Petrochem as a major opportunity for himself. He would like to rise to a position on the board and divide power evenly with his brother, or even seize control for himself. A rivalry may develop between the two somewhere down the line, especially if Malcolm feels he is being shortchanged and goes behind his brothers back, or if Angus realizes the extent of Malcolm's ambitions.

Malcolms advancement faces two obstacles. First, Ellen Trieste is not quite ready to force Trenton completely out of power. She still fears the reaction of the rest of die board. Also, at thirty-three, Malcolm is much younger than his brother. Both Ellen and Angus worry that people will complain about Malcolm's youth if he is made CEO. Angus intends to let Malcolm season for a couple more years, maybe by appointing him to a lesser position first. Malcolm doesn't want to wait, and his impatience may be his undoing.
