Mallobyrne

Mallobyrne, the Cursed, Dark Lord of Schwarzholt, is King of the Fomorraigh Elves of the Maerkwald and the Fen. He is an ancient and powerful elf, centuries old and still in his prime.
Mallobyrne rules the dark elves of the Hinterlands with an iron fist, and his influence reaches far beyond his kingdom. Even in distant lands, druids and elves speak of Mallobyrne with fear and awe. Under the dark king's tyrannical rule, the Hinterlands are never safe from the threat of Fomorraigh.
=== Background ===
According to some legends, it was Mallobyrne who first lead the Fomorraigh onto their dark path, and away from the fey. According to others, he was tricked by the Faceless God. The most reliable story is a bit of both.
Before he was Mallobyrne, he was Coedbyrne, and was a leader of the elves alongside Brendyffryn and Dublaidd. Though the alliance was mostly solid, he often disagreed with Dublaidd. This disgreement became hostility when Dublaidd killed Coedbyrne's consort, Eoin, over a minor dispute. Knowing that Dublaidd was a fearsome warrior, Coedbyrne rallied his elven followers against his enemy, and they confronted him at the Aergewynn Tree. Dublaidd killed many of the elves, shedding much blood on the holy ground, turning the leaves of the Aergewynn red, until he finally came face to face with Coedbyrne himself. The two fought for long, until Brendyffryn arrived. The powerful elf separated the two fighters, and exiled them from the kingdom. Dublaidd was merely sent south, while Coedbyrne and his remaining warriors were trapped in a cave.
It was in this cave, in the depths of despair and separated from nature, that the elves encountered the dark gods. A dark god, probably the Faceless God, spoke to Coedbyrne and offered him a chance at revenge, in return for swearing himself to the dark gods. Coedbyrne accepted, and from then on was known as Mallobyrne.
