Malekith (Earth-6531)

"Your father wanted the Dark Elves to stand together, remember? And so they have. Who do you think they would elect? A peacemaker? Have you met my people before? Dark Elves aren't weak little children, locking for a mother to love and cuddle us. We only follow the leaders we fear. And as for now... Svartalfheim fears no one more than me. Many thanks for your assist in this matters, Allfather. Would you like a seat of honor at my coronation feast?"

- - Malekith to Odin

Malekith was the tyrannical leader of the Dark Elves, who took upon leadership of thousands of his kind after they were nearly extinguished by the Frost Giants following the destruction of Svartalfheim. Once a warlord his kind wished to stay away with, the Svartálfar's resentment towards Bor and the Asgardians after he chose to not protect their race, as well as stopping Surtur, their seemingly only hope, led Malekith to amass power through the millennium, with the plan on turning Asgard and all the other Nine Realms into their own worlds.
