King Darkstrider

Darkstrider was a famous Selee Elf and King of the Elven people between RC12198 and RC12850. Son of King Dalamarn and father of Noctus and Moonsfell, he was also a Shadonian Master and tactician of the highest order. Darkstrider took the throne when his father was killed in the destruction of Shangri'La in RC12198 but was already a legendary figure before that time. Darkstrider led many units into battle against The Draconians during The War of The Dragon and was instrumental in bringing the war to a close in RC11780 when he was able to entrap The Mighty Gargan in a magical prison deep beneath the earth. He also helped write the disarmament treaty that the Ashurian Alliance put into place with the surrender of their Dragon-kin brothers. When the War of Ages broke out in RC12042, the then Prince Darkstrider was once again called to lead the Elves in battle but disliked fighting against The Dwarves whom he was personal friends with more than one. He was away at war when a splinter-group of Elven fanatics launched the plague that began wiping out the Landris people, but saw firsthand the horrible suffering and lingering deaths it caused. Urging the King to look into this horrific incident, Darkstrider and King Dalamarn's head Scoutmaster - An Elf by the name of Greystep - were tasked with finding the elves responsible and bringing them to justice. The Dwarves, led by King Bolthar II slow their war with the Elves in an attempt to find a cure for The Landris, but to no avail. King Dalamar officially offers terms of peace to King Bolthar II and this is accepted, the war ending in a stalemate. Though Darkstrider and Greystep eventually track the Elves responsible for the Landris atrocity to their headquarters, the fanatical Elves kill themselves in a magical sacrifice of which Darkstrider escapes but Greystep does not. In the next few years Darkstrider is joined by Greystep's son, an Elf named Darksong who turns out to be every bit as good as his father and becomes the new Scoutmaster when the final few vestiges of the genocide cult are wiped out.
