Malicitor

undefined:

A malicitor is a system member who abuses other members in one or more ways. In some cases, they may be difficult to reform and dangerous to show vulnerability towards. A malicitor may be "passive" if they do not harm others unless provoked; however, some may be very easy to provoke. They may be abuser introjects or otherwise learned abusive traits from outside sources.

Malictor is a controversial label and should only be used for self identification. Some systems consider the term harmful, and may prefer to use persecutor instead. Just like persecutors, many malicitors can learn better coping skills to manage their anger and aggression.
