This question contains spoilers… (view spoiler)

Sherrilyn Kenyon Malachai isn't always plural. It's used as both, like deer or fish. As for Sephiroth, no. Jared isn't and never was the sum of all good. He was one of many Sephirii. There was an entire army of them at one time. They were a division that served the primary gods. As were the Malachai. But the Malachai has become plural because the son absorbs the powers of the father and the "essence" of him when he kills him to take his place. Thereby the single Malachai has become many over the centuries. Whereas Jared is still the same Sephiroth who was there in the very beginning. Since he doesn't birth sons and hasn't been replaced, he's a single entity and doesn't have the powers of others of his kind. Hugs!
