He wasted years on his mother's plans when all he wanted was to have a family. Which shows throughout season 4 and some of season 5. After he finds out the truth everything went down hill and it led him to his death.
Like when he's locked in that room with Ingrid and The Count he literally says "all I ever wanted was a family."
At the end of Ep7 S4 he says to his mother that he wanted to get to know his father better.
Malik:"I'm only just getting to know him."
Elizabeta:"you don't need to know him."
Honestly I could rant about him for ages but I won't. Cause who wants to read all of that 😭
But I will honestly protect Malik as much as I possibly can! Yeah some things he did can't be justified but he had reasons for most things.
