Gorath

"Humans continued their own foundation of magic through the teachings they've inherited from the Mage of the Beginning, but Demons were naturally born and graced with the all-powerful energy to create miracles. But we elves...not a moment passed in our history where magic did not course through our veins. Heh. It's why we had to be rid of, and because I valued millenia of research and knowledge accumulated, I took it upon me to be the one to carry out this genocide."

- Gorath explaining the history of the Elf race's extinction Gorath (ゴラス, Gorasu) is the last surviving Elf on Earth Land, being the legendary Evil Elf (悪エルフ, Aku Erufu) known for single-handedly laying genocide upon his race for various reasons, the growing paranoia of humans towards the elf race's power, as well as Gorath's own lust for power and pride. Due to his growing pride and greater exposure to both the human world and the elven world, Gorath eventually carried out the total execution of the elven race, going after each seperate kingdom on his own, but preserving all the knowledge they've accumulated for himself, becoming known as the Elven Scourge (エルヴン鞭, Eruvun Muchi), the "catastrophe" that wiped out all traces of the elves.

Gorath began addressing himself as Endless Lord Fenris (エンドレスロードフェンリス, Endoresu Rōdo Fenrisu), after the mythical "first elf lord" of Earth Land, later his alias being abbreviated to simply E.L.F (イルフ, Erufu). According to Gorath himself, he has accumulated all the knowledge and abilities of the elven race into himself, making him both the last and strongest elf in Earth Land history, further adding to his bottomless pride.
