Dark Elves

The Dark Elves, known as Svartálfar by the Ancient Norse, and self-referred as Älfeneel or Harudheeniksel, were among the oldest known species in the universe. Having originated in the Ginnungagap ― the vast, primordial darkness that existed prior to the creation of the manifest universe ― they eventually made their way to dwell on the planet Svartalfheim following the Big Bang. As a species that thrived in darkness, the Dark Elves were unable to live in a universe filled with light and matter, which acted as a slow poison to them. Seeking to return to a realm they could live in comfortably, Malekith led his people in a terrible war against many civilizations across the universe in an effort to utilize the Aether to turn the cosmos back into the dark void they came from.
