Biography
"Sire, the Aether, shall we destroy it?" "If only we could, but its power is too great. Bury it deep. Somewhere no one will ever find it."

- Einherjar and Bor

Bor was the previous king of Asgard, before Odin, who, during the last Convergence, led the Asgardian army in an attack against the Dark Elves who wanted to utilize the power of the Aether to return the universe to an eternal darkness. Both sides took heavy casualties during the conflict, but the forces of Asgard eventually gained the upper hand despite the Dark Elves' leader Malekith dispatching his elite warriors, the Kursed. In an attempt to survive, Malekith dropped several ships carrying his people onto the Asgardian army, killing many and distracting Bor long enough to escape with the remnants of his army. Some time after the war against the Dark Elves, Bor fought in another war, which cost him his life. His throne was taken over by his son, Odin.
