Template:Infobox godsSvartáljǫfurr is the Dark Elf King of Alfheim and a boss in God of War (2018).
In the God of War Series
God of War (2018)
As the King of the Dark Elves, Svartáljǫfurr leads the war against the Light Elves for the Light of Alfheim, a conflict that his side seemed to have secured victory, until Kratos accompanied by his young son Atreus arrived to take a portion of the light for their journey.
Svartáljǫfurr ordered the Dark Elves to follow and eliminate them, but they proved too strong, so the King tried to separate them by personally abducting Atreus, a plan immediately thwarted by Kratos who hurled his Axe at the retreating Svartáljǫfurr, forcing him to flee.
After the traveling Gods eliminated his forces and released the imprisoned Light of Alfheim, Svartáljǫfurr attacked them once again on their way out of his realm, starting a fierce battle that ended in his defeat. In his dying words he told the outsiders that they made a grave mistake, making Atreus wonder if they aided the wrong side in the conflict.
Appearance
Svartáljǫfurr possesses many physical similarities with his Dark Elf kin, sporting membrane wings, yellow eyes with black sclera and pointy nails on his fingers. However, his skin is notably darker, he has markings across his body, and has jagged teeth.
His armor is a unique variation that sports a pair of horns on his helmet, most likely because of his King status.
Powers and Abilities
Svartáljǫfurr is the strongest of the Dark Elves, as their King he possesses strength, speed and endurance surpassing any of his kind and with it the authority to lead them in battle. His skill in battle allows him to fight on par with Kratos, a foreign God of War.
To complement his superior physical prowess, his weapon releases larger blasts and fires stronger and more numerous beams of energy than regular Dark Elf spears, being capable of plummeting the ground to produce a powerful blinding blast from the tip of his weapon.
In ground he can charge towards his opponent to impale them, releasing explosive energy that blinds his opppnents, thus being able to hide his presence and sneak attack them.
