Malia Gedde is Gabriel Knight's love interest in the Sins of the Fathers. Her family runs three hospitals. She lives at 557 W. Ingrahm, in the famous for its elaborate old plantation homes and mansions Garden District.
Background
Malia belonged to the famous Gedde family which arrived to New Orleans around the early 1800's (when Voodoo related murders also occurred). Females of her line were descendants of Tetelo and they maintained a matrilineal dynasty. These included Jacklyn, Zellia, Helena, Ariane, Rosamund, Cecelie, Celeste and Kisila. They were all buried in the tomb of St. Louis Cemetery #1.
Born in 1965, she was an only child and because of her mother's lifestyle she never met her father. She wanted to study psychology, but family business came first and he has a business degree from Vanderbilt. She lost her mother recently, leaving her the head of the Gedde family. A wealthy African-American socialite, when not tending the Geddes holdings and business affairs, she is reserved and shuns from the public eye, preferring to occupy herself with the fine arts and collection of african art. She also did a lot of charity work in the prison and reform system. Her butler/bodyguard was Robert.
Gabriel Knight falls in love with her when she passes by the Lake Poncantrain crime scene with her car on Day 1, and asks Grace Nakimura to find her address.
On Day 2 Gabriel steals Franklin Mosely's badge in order to approach her, but his initial attempts to woo her fail.
On Day 3 she visits St. Louis Cemetery #1 and Gabe sees her exiting from the Gedde tomb. Gabe once more confeses her love, Malia expressing her concerns that they live in different worlds. Gabe invites her to his, and gives her the address of St. George's Books. After reluctantly caving to Gabriel's advances, they fall in love. At night, she comes to the store, just after Grace Nakimura closes the store, and he spends the night with Gabe.
At the end of Day 4 she calls Gabe, who visits her mansion and passes the night there.
Gabriel comes to discover, however, that Malia is a member of the extensive New Orleans Voodoo cartel that is responsible for a spree of murders. Under the possessive influence of the loa Tetelo, of whom she is a descendant, she commits the ritualistic murders of the cartel's enemies during ceremonies against her own volition. Despite her obligations to her family and her cult, Malia defies Tetelo in order to save Gabriel's life, and he in turn must decide whether to save her life or betray her to end Tetelo's influence on New Orleans once and for all. The player's choice affects the outcome of the game.
