Malekith is the undisputed lord and master of the Dark Elves. Formerly praised and honoured as the Great, today he is cursed and feared as the Witch King.
Malekith is the son of the legendary Aenarion and of his second wife Morathi. He was born and raised in Nagarythe, and many believe that his childhood traumatized him as his father's court was a bitter and savage place.
After the death of his father the High Elf princes gathered to choose their new Phoenix King. Malekith, who was Aenarion's son, an experienced warrior, a mighty wizard, and a successful general, was the obvious choice.
However, it was then revealed that the first children of Aenarion who had been believed slain by Chaos warriors were in fact alive. Yvraine would become the new Everqueen. This created a huge problem for Malekith's ambitions as the Everqueen (i.e.: his own half-sister) and the future Phoenix King would have to conceive a daughter. Bel-shanaar was elected instead.
Malekith travelled far and wide in search of greater power and glory. Eventually he returned home only to find Ulthuan on the brink of civil war.
Malekith, who was in league with his mother Morathi, killed almost all the princes and attempted to take the throne by force.
However as he tried to walk through the Eternal Flame it began to consume him and he was terribly burned.
Then began a long civil war. In the end he and his followers were driven out of Ulthuan, making their way to the cold wastes of Naggaroth. There they settled and erected their black cities, including the capital Naggarond.
Until recently Malekith drove a Chariot pulled by a pair of Cold Ones into battle. During that time he ordered all other battle chariots in Naggaroth to be destroyed, so that he owned the only remaining exemplar.
Today Malekith rides a mighty black Dragon into battle.
