Sure thing.

Malos and A2 are artificially-created units who went rogue despite their original purpose being to assist in recovering from life-wiping incidents caused by prominent characters of the first game in their series. Since they're one of the Aegis and YoRHa units, both can access special abilities unique to them, but lost everything before they were introduced (only to regain it at the cost of one of the main characters). Both are crass, vulgar, enjoy a good fight and are generally unpleasant individuals to interact with, but have vastly different ideals and motivations that IMO makes it interesting.

Specifically; Malos started as an ally and nothing more than a brute, but was quickly established to be much more dangerous and important after his introductory level. His mindset is generally that life is meaningless and should be destroyed as soon as possible, which he sets out to do. A2, at first, was introduced as a villain and a major threat, but was much later revealed to be more heroic than the characters you controlled at the time. Her ideal is that life is worth fighting for, and seeks to protect what remained of it aside of her personal vendettas.

Humorously, Malos is much older than he looks (as he's several hundreds of years old, if not more), whereas A2 is only a few years old despite having the body and mannerisms of an adult.
