His loyal second-in-command Zoe was by his side for most of the war, surviving many dangerous conflicts with him. Mal volunteered for the Independents' army during the Unification War against the Alliance, gaining the rank of sergeant during that time. Though Mal usually seems more practical than intellectual, he occasionally surprises his friends by displaying familiarity with disparate literature varying from the works of Xiang Yu to poems by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, though he has no idea "who" Mona Lisa is. Mal was raised by his mother and "about 40 hands" on a ranch on the planet Shadow. Screens from Serenity suggest that Mal was born on September 20, 2468-which would make him 49 at the time of the series Firefly-though, as the average human lifespan is 120, this would make him the equivalent of a man in his early 30s today. That's always been the mission statement of what the show is-getting by." In "Serenity", Mal says of himself: " Wind blows northerly, I go North." As Firefly writer Tim Minear stated in an interview: "It's just about getting by. Malcolm's main mission is to keep his crew alive and to keep his ship flying. You just learn how to live there." He is fiercely loyal to those he calls his crew. When asked why he named his ship after a lost battle, Zoe comments "Once you're in Serenity, you never leave. He got the name for his spaceship from a famous battle he fought and commanded in, the Battle of Serenity Valley. Malcolm Reynolds ("Mal"), played by Nathan Fillion, is owner and captain of the Firefly-class spaceship Serenity, and was a volunteer in the war between the Alliance and the Independents (aka "Browncoats").
