==Summary==
Malekith, called the "Witch King of Naggaroth," is the monarch of the kingdoms of Naggaroth in the New World and the ruler of the Dark Elves. Born as the son of the Phoenix King Aenarion, the greatest Elven hero to have ever lived, Malekith is ancient and powerful beyond mortal reckoning, a being who has lived for thousands upon thousands of years, gathering a great treasure trove of magical power that few can rival within the world. Long ago, this mighty lord of the Elven race sought to claim the isles of Ulthuan by sheer force of will, cruelty and bloodshed, but the Flames of Asuryan denied his right to rule as his father's heir and left him scarred by fire and twisted with hatred.
Near death, Malekith was taken away and healed by his mother, the sorceress and consort of Aenarion Morathi, and removed to the lands of Nagarythe to recuperate and plot his seizure of power. While there, the horrifically burned Malekith was encased in a suit of magical, black full plate armour, the plates of the suit fusing themselves to Malekith's own tortured flesh. To the brow of the great horned helmet placed over his head was welded the Circlet of Iron, and with his body transformed, Malekith took the persona of the Destroyer and now sought to reclaim that which was denied to him.
In the years since, Malekith has led many great wars against the High Elven usurpers, but each time has been undone by cruel fate or the incompetence of his craven underlings. Yet the Witch King is immortal and knows he will outlast those who foolishly believe themselves his betters. The day is fast approaching where old debts and insults will finally be paid, and Malekith will do anything within his power to hasten its arrival. Malekith firmly believes that if he can't rule Ulthuan, then no one else will.

|-|Pre Trial of Asuryan=
Attack Potency: Multi-City Block level (Elves are very strong, despite their size. Would scale to vampires and larger opponents such as Rat-Ogres), higher with Sulekh (Black Dragons are incredibly large, with just Sulekhs head being described as the 'size of a Gatehouse'); Varies from Large Island level up to higher with Aethyr Manipulation (The strength of Malekiths spells varies depends on how much Aethyr he has gathered. Casually destroys a Keepers of Secrets with a gesture, with his spells getting more destructive depending on his preparation from there)
|-|Post Trial of Asuryan/Modern Malekith=
Attack Potency: At least Large Island level (Vastly superior to Bloodthirsters physically. Daefeats N'kari in direct combatDark Elves Armybook 8th Edition: Page 30), Varies up to Large Country level with Aethyr Manipulation (After gathering all the Aethyr/Dark Magic across all of Naggaroth, was able to create a magical cataclysm referred to as 'The Sundering' that shook the foundations of the Mortal World)
|-|The Eternity King=
Attack Potency: At least Large Country level, possibly higher (Should physically scale to magical feats such as the sunderring due to being empowered by Asuryan); Varies from Large Country level up to higher with Aethyr Manipulation
|-|The Incarnate of Ulgu=
Attack Potency: Planet level (As the Incarnate of Shadow, Malekith contains an entire wind of magic within his being. This power allowed the Grey Seers to move the Moon closer to the Mortal World), Varies from Moon level up to Higher with Aethyr Manipulation
</tabber>
Speed: Subsonic (Scales to vampires that can outmaneuver arrows and other missile attacks with Quickblood) with Supersonic reactions and combat speed (Can dodge flintlock pistolfire) | Supersonic (Should be superior to the combat speed of Thralls) with Massively Hypersonic reactions and combat speed (Should be comparable to characters who dodge lightning) 
Lifting Strength: Likely Class M (should scale to this feat) | Class T (Scales above lesser sorcerers who performed this feat) | Class T, possibly higher (Likely scales to people like Archaon) | Same as before 
Striking Strength: Multi-City Block level, higher with Sulekh | Large Island level, higher with Seraphon | Large Country level | Planet level

Stamina: Superhuman (Malekith would scale to people like Grimgor Ironhide, that can fight for weaks at a time. Even when he is pierced and skewered by the blades of the Pheonix Guard, he is able to fight continue to fight at full capacity with sheer willpower)
Range: Tens of Kilometers with Aethyr Manipulation | Planetary; Outerversal with the Circlet of Iron | Planetary, possibly Universal+; Outerversal with the Circlet of Iron | Planetary; Outerversal with the Circlet of Iron

Intelligence: Genius (Albeit somewhat insane and enormously sadistic, Malekith is a cold and calculated combatant and one of the oldest and most powerful beings on Mortal World. Single handedly shattered the race of Elves and became their greatest enemy. Possesses millenia of both martial and magical experience. Teclis himself openly states that Malekith is his superior in magic, with Teclis himself effectively being the most powerful mage in all of Ulthuan. Comparable to Tyrion in swordsmanship who is described as the greatest swordsman the Elves have ever known. He is however an extremely twisted being which thrives on his own anger and hatred at having his birthright of Ulthuan taken from him)
Weaknesses: His Mother Morathi manipulates his dark impulses to drive him towards insane acts of destruction. Tethis the greatest tactical mind of the Elves was able to consistently stalemate Malekith in a prolonged series of conflicts until Malekith eventually simply outlived him.
