The King of the Elves is graceful and stern. He puts the well-being of his kingdom not only above himself, but also above his son and wife. After the death of his wife, he denies his grief and locks away feelings of love. When he now expects his son to sacrifice himself completely for the kingdom, he breaks a promise he once made to his wife. Now cursed by her hatred, he tries to stay true to his self-destructive principles. In his heart he knows it is wrong, but he's too proud to ever admit it.
