Aenarion

==Summary==
Aenarion, called "Aenarion the Defender," was the first Phoenix King of Ulthuan, the first monarch of the High Elves, sometimes also known as the first Champion of Light, and is the most revered High Elf of all time. Aenarion united all the kingdoms of Ulthuan and the entire race of Elves beneath his rule and defended the mortal world from the terrible daemonic hordes that plagued the globe during the Great Catastrophe.
In his rage at the Deaths of his wife and children at the hands of the Daemons, Aenarion drew the immensely powerful, yet cursed Sword of Khaine and used it to keep the Daemons at bay. This was until his great friend, the High Elf Caledor Dragontamer, sacrificed himself to enact a spell of Elven High Magic that created a Great Vortex that sucked away the surplus Winds of Magic. This meant the Daemons of Chaos could no longer physically manifest in the mortal world without a mortal host.
Aenarion was mortally wounded while defending Caledor and he lived just long enough to return the Sword of Khaine to its altar in the Blighted Isle. Yet the curse of Khaine came upon Aenarion's bloodline for making use of the weapon and his son Malekith, later called the Witch King, would ultimately shatter the unity of Ulthuan and divide the Elven race into its noble High Elven and villainous Dark Elven branches.

Attack Potency: Moon level (Aenarion is far and away the greatest Warrior to walk the Warhammer world. Prior to the creation of the Great Vortex which limited the power of Daemons considerably, Aenarion fought in the first Great Chaos Incursion which almost succeeded in utterly destroying the entire world. Would have battled against Greater Daemons in a hugely empowered state and with his mighty Dragon, Indraugnir was able to defeat Exalted Greater Daemons of each of the FourBlood of Aenarion: Page 18 ChaosBlood of Aenarion: Page 17 GodsBlood of Aenarion: Page 17 but ultimately succumbed to his wounds) 
Speed: At least Massively Hypersonic (Capable of fighting empowered Exalted Greater Daemons and dodge their attacks, which would be vastly above Vampires that can outrun musket fire), possibly Relatavistic reaction speed (Capable of reacting to Light based attacks made by Kairos Fateweaver]
Lifting Strength: Class M (Has crushing feats on par with Saurus Warrios and Leaders being able to crush rocks and steel), possibly Class T (Possibly comparable to this feat), Higher with Indraugnir (His dragon is vastly stronger then him physically)
Striking Strength: Moon level (Capable of inflicting damage to Exalted Greater Daemons of Chaos pre Vortex of Magic), Higher with Indraugnir (Indraugnir is physically stronger then Aenarion)
Durability: Moon level (Takes blows from Daemons such as Kairos Fateweaver)
Stamina: Superhuman. Fights in the first Chaos Incursion for over 100 years straight with minimal rest. Capable of continuing to fight after he was badly damaged by his battle with Exalted Greater Daemons of Chaos despite his immense injuries)
Range: Standard melee range with The Sword of Khaine. A few metres with forcefields/barriers. Much higher with his spear, capable of performing extremely accurate throws with his spear from a large but unknown distance. Hundreds of metres with Madness Manipulation, the Sword of Khaine emits waves of black light that drive those in its vicinity mad.
Standard Equipment: The Sword of Khaine. A blessed shield forced by Caledor. The Dragon Armour of Aenarion. Indraugnir his loyal Dragon.
Intelligence: Aenarion is a combat genius. Trained the Elves who had zero experience with war up to the stage where they could fight against the first Chaos Incursion over a few years. An unstoppable force on the battlefield, no Daemon or Monster could stand before him due to his power as the Pheonix King and the mighty Sword of Khaine. He is unfortunately all but entirely mad due to the grief of losing his beloved Wife and Children to Chaos and the effects of drawing the Sword of Khaine which doomed and cursed his line.
Weaknesses: The Sword of Khaine feeds on his life-force if he doesn't quench it's thirst for murder constantly. He has been driven to the point of insanity due to grief and madness.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*The Sword of Khaine:
The Sword of Khaine, known more poetically as the Widowmaker, the Godslayer, Doom of Worlds, Spear of Vengeance, Deathshard, Icefang and 'Heavenblight' The Mightiest weapon ever forged. Created by the Elven Smith God Vaul and forged within the fires of the Father of all Dragons, this mighty sword was used by Khaine to all but entirely enslave the Aelvish Pantheon. Feared by the Chaos Gods themselves, this weapon ignores durability, inflicts death onto beings with no concept of it and prevents even the regeneration of the mighty Bloodthirsters of Khorne. It can interact with a Daemons non existent essence, destroying it entirely and greatly weaken the power of even the mightest Daemon of Chaos.
*Indraugnir:
Truly a huge and majestic being, Indraugnir was "of silver and blue hide", and was said to have been "older even than the elves, the greatest creature ever to have flown the skies of Ulthuan". He was the largest of the dragons that fought at Caethrin Gorge. Indraugnir had been old when the Old Ones came, a veteran of the wars against the Shaggoths, and was among those that cautioned patience, hiding in the caves of a chain of volcanoes. He had witnessed the reshaping of the world, the creation of the Great Ocean and the arrival of the first elves on what would become Ulthuan. Capable of utterly destroying even the most powerful of Exalted Greater Daemons of Chaos with its mighty flame breath. 
*Dragon Armour of Aenarion:
Forged within Vaul's Anvil long ago to protect Aenarion, the Dragon Armour of Aenarion is an ancient suit of protective gear with layers upon layers of enchantment. Upon his death, the armour was thought lost for thousands of years until it was uncovered by Tethlis the Slayer. Since then, it has borne only by the very greatest of Ulthuan's gloried heroes.
Saying the words of power activates the armour's dormant abilities. Titanic fields of protective magics shimmer into place around the wearer. Potent spells amplify one's strength, even the already enormous strength of one such as Aenarion. The armour also enables the wearer's voice to be heard by the farthest units of their assembled army, even if said-voice speaks in calm measured tones or over the bellowing of dragons.
