It looks like MG may have indirectly told us who Mallus is in his most recent interview with this site...
Ergo, Damien Darhk is Mallus, who's acolyte just brought back Kuasa. It dampens the fear of villain decay somewhat. I really didn't want DD playing second fiddle in his post S4 incarnation. It also addresses who the acolyte is... Eleanor (Nora) Darhk played by Mrs. Routh, Courtney Ford.
Hopefully, Marc Guggenheim assumed internal logic would lead a number of us to work out Mallus was Darhk. Otherwise, it's a really unfortunate slip.
What can we expect from Damien Darhk’s role in Legends Season 3?
I would say Damien is very much the “Thawne” of the season, in the sense that last year, Thawne was driving a lot of what the Legion of Doom was doing. Even though Malcolm or Damien wouldn’t want to admit it, Thawne was very much in charge, and he was calling the shots.
This is Damien’s year to shine. He’s also the Damien Darhk of Arrow Season 4, so he’s got memories of all of the things that have happened to him, not just in Legends Season 2, but also in Arrow Season 4, and that also includes his command of magic. So, there are some fun things going on with Damien. Obviously, Neal McDonough is really wonderful in that role. You could see he’s always enjoying each of the scenes that he’s shooting. I’m looking forward to people seeing more and more episodes so that you can really see how Damien’s master plan is coming together as well as the team of super-villains that he is in the process of recruiting is coming together.
