in the books its stated that Mal’s dad was a human. I’m guessing that’s gonna get retconned.
I say his character has something to do with Brave (will o’ the wisps) and he too is some kind of fae. Also he will become good and his love will incite Maleficent to become good and grow back to her normal state.
