===Early Life===
Buhl's exact origins are a mystery, with evidence they have been deliberately obscured. Though the public record indicates that Malcolm was born to Gerard and Elaine Buhl, a husband and wife technical team working at the [[hyperpulse generator]] station on the [[Federated Suns]] world of [[Cahokia]], agents of the [[Republic Armed Forces]]'s [[Department of Military Intelligence (RAF)|Department of Military Intelligence]] were not able to find any records at the Cahokia station of either a Gerard and Elaine Buhl having served there, nor of a child being born there in 3076.<ref name=ER3145-116/>

Malcolm Buhl's first verified appearance was his enrollment and graduation from a ComStar secondary school on [[Markesan]], followed by his acceptance into ComStar's advanced HPG program on [[Terra]], impressing his teachers with his innate grasp of the concepts and issues surrounding interstellar communications. After graduation from this program, Buhl would serve as station chief for the HPGs on [[Odessa]] and [[Caph]], before being promoted to the head of ComStar's cornerstone Communications branch, overseeing the workings of the entire HPG net. Remaining in this position for five years, [[Primus of ComStar|Primus]] [[Lisa Koenigs-Cober]] then selected him to head up the newly created Special Project branch in [[3117]].<ref name=ER3145-116/>

===Gray Monday===
In the immediate aftermath of [[Gray Monday]], as director of Special Projects Buhl tasked with assembling a research team to tackle the HPG Blackout. Enlisting [[Carole Ackerman]] as the head of this team, Malcom Buhl created the [[Cassie DeBurke Institute for Hyperspatial Studies]] to solve the problem. One of Ackerman's students [[Tucker Harwell]] would ultimately devise a means of restarting an HPG and Buhl, then holding the rank of Precentor Omega XVIII, dispatched him to test his theories on the HPG on [[Wyatt]]. Delighted when Tucker actually succeeded but also mindful that the [[Republic of the Sphere]], [[Oriente Protectorate]] and [[Clan Spirit Cat]] all sought the young technician's expertise, Buhl chose to send the secretly re-formed [[1st Division (ComStar)|First Division]] of the [[Com Guards]] to ensure his return to ComStar, considering the public revelation worth the price to acquire Tucker.<ref name=ER3145-116/> <ref name=ER3145-84>''Era Report: 3145'', p. 84 "Factions - ComStar - First Division"</ref>

Buhl didn't expect that Harwell had joined the Republic's side. After being rescued by Knight [[Alexi Holt]], he revealed his base's location. The Republic sent forces to hunt Buhl and his [[1st_Division_(ComStar)|1st Division]], forcing them to retreat to his base on [[Epsilon Eridani]].{{cn}}
