Biography

Malekith (Shiväisith: Mälekith) was the cruel and malevolent leader of the Dark Elves, a race of beings that thrived in primordial darkness before the Big Bang. Born in a realm of complete darkness, Malekith led his people in a war against the Asgardians, using an ancient weapon known as the Aether in an attempt to revert the universe to a state of complete darkness. Malekith was thought to have been wiped out with the rest of his race in the final battle against the Asgardian King Bor in 2988 B.C. during the Convergence. Malekith survived, however, and after millennia in prolonged hibernation, returned during the next Convergence 5,000 years later in 2013. Upon learning Jane Foster absorbed the Aether, Malekith and his armies invaded Asgard, before reclaiming it from Foster to complete his conquest. Before his attempt could succeed, however, Malekith and his armies were opposed by Bor's grandson, Thor, in the Battle of Greenwich. During their fight, Malekith was teleported across the Nine Realms back to Svartalfheim, where he was crushed by his own warship and died.
