History

You humans are too stupid to realize such a task. —  Chief of the Elves

I didn't bring them home, pops, they followed me!

The Chief of the Elves ruled the elven Village of the Elves. The grandfather of Sylvina, the Chief of the Elves ignored the threat of the Scarlet Moon Empire as he viewed non-elven races as inferior and unthreatening. He mocked those who warned him of Kwanda Rosman's plans to destroy the community with the Burning Mirror and even imprisoned those who tried to warn him such as Kirkis.

The Chief of the Elves was one of the many elves killed when Kwanda Rosman's Burning Mirror destroyed Lukie Ende Towayo. He was succeeded by Kirkis following the Gate Rune War.
