So the story goes that Trinimac was eaten by Boethiah and then got pooped out into Malacath, more or less.

Here's an idea that just occurred to me.

Trinimac/Malacath(I'm not 100% they are the same entity) is an Aedra if not mistaken? And the only Aedroth that you can talk to and that has a definite sense of power. You can't call him a Daedroth because, by definition, he took part in creation?

So here's my idea, what if Boethiah didn't "eat" Trinimac in the traditional sense but more over rescued him? In Boethiahs stomach, granted some power and the stress of this changed Trinimac into Malacath? Boethiah gave Trinimac power to survive creation where the others didn't. Afterwards Boethiah was granted the Goldbrand. Even Malacath is quoted to saying "you are too literal minded" when asked about it.

Thoughts?

In no way is Malacath stronger than what Trinimac was. Trinimac was extremely powerful in the scale of things.

I did not mean to imply that Malacath is stronger than Trinimac at their peaks. I was saying that Trinimac did not suffer the same fate as the other Aedra because he was "smuggled" into Oblivion by Boethiah like a heroin balloon at an airport. In that manner, Trinimac lost power by turning into Malacath, but was saved from a greater loss had he stayed in behind.
