Malekith

Malekith (pronounced either as "Mah-leh-kith" or "May-leh-kith") is the supreme ruler of the Druchii (or Dark Elves) of Naggaroth. He is also Known as The Witch King of Naggaroth, or just simply The Witch King. He still lives with his Mother.

Biography

He was the son of the first Phoenix King Aenarion (Who was by all accounts an incredibly violent and vengeful hothead) and the Sorceress Morathi (who is secretly a worshipper of Slaanesh). When Aenarion died after defeating the Forces of Chaos who had invaded Ulthuan, The Princes of Ulthuan were deciding who would be the new Phoenix King. Though Malekith was the likely choice, they instead choice a Prince named Bel Shanaar. Malekith appeared to take this easily, but in truth, he made a massive tantrum and whined like a five year old as soon as everyone left.

He then opted to seek fame and glory outside of Ulthuan, and made an expedition to the Old World. His first spark of fame came when he defended a High Elf colony from Orcs. He also made friendships with the Dwarves, and established a trading agreement with them. Over the course of a few years, he became very popular with the Old World colonies.Though of course, this was just not enough. So he decided to explore further north where he found a magic circlet from ancient ruins (which boosted his power).

When he heard that the Cult of Pleasure was resurfacing in Ulthuan, he found this as a chance to increase his influence. He was then given command of Ulthuans armies and decimated many of the Cultists. Though in one of his assaults, he discovered that (surprise surprise) his own mother was the leader of the Cult. When he took his mother into custody, the Princes demanded her death. Malekith (who struck a bargain with Morathi) convinced the Princes to keep her imprisoned instead (which was a huge mistake).

When the time was right, he poisoned Bel Shanaar and massacred the majority of the princes gathered in the Shrine of Asuryan. Wanting to prove himself as the rightful ruler of Ulthuan, he stepped into the Flames of Asuryan. Malekith realised too late that stepping into the flames wasn't such a good idea (especially when he just proved how much of a massive dick he was) when it horrifically burned his flesh. His followers quickly escaped with his charred body and brought him to his mother, who saved him from death. Morathi commissioned a renegade priest of Vaul to make his iconic armor, The Armor of Midnight which was fused into his flesh.

Civil war then erupted between Malekith and the newly crowned Phoenix King Caledor. When Malekith was losing, he ordered his Sorcerers to recreate the spell that Caledor Dragontamer conjured years ago. It backfired. Instead, it nearly sank the province of Nagarythe. malekith raised the city sized ships known as the Black Arks and fled to the New World with his followers (the newly named Dark Elves). He then founded a new kingdom, which he called Naggaroth, where he rules with an Iron Fist.

So in summary: All of this started because somebody just had to be a spoiled brat.

Present Day

He is constantly invading Ulthuan in hopes of reclaiming his "Birthright" as Phoenix king. Though like a certain armless failure, he fails every time. He had forbidden males into becoming sorcerers out of fear of a prophecy which stated that he will be killed by a male sorcerer. The only thing that is preventing his possible death is Games Workshop's refusal to further the story. His Mother, who he still lives with, is secretly plotting to overthrow him - he, in turn, wants to kill her when he thinks he can get away with it. Not that this stops the two from being heavily implied to have sex with each other on a regular basis.

Trivia

• His title is apparently a rip-off of the Witch King from the Lord of the Rings. NO REALLY?
• His name is a rip-off of Thor villain Malekith the Accursed, some asshole Dark Elf king.
• He is an equal prick like Asdrubael Vect. The War of the Beard ? He started it. He also tricked a group of rebel Druchii Lords into drinking poison, and he only gave them the antidote when they agreed to serve him.
