| “ | The vigilant steward of Alfheim Library. Our ally in Vanaheim, Byggvir, told me this steward comes from a long line of Elves who followed the same path. Librarians. A library exists to hold and share knowledge—to hide this away and claim it would destroy the Light Elves "from within" is to lack faith in the people who would most benefit from it. | ” |
–Kratos after the Maven's defeat | ||

Biography[]
God of War Ragnarök[]
When Kratos raided the Elven Sanctum library for its knowledge and took one of its journals, the Maven demanded he return the journal. After he refused, the two engaged in a duel, which Kratos won. However, instead of killing her, he spared her and lectured the Maven's misguided attempts at protecting her people by censoring the dark secrets of their history. She bowed to him in gratitude and presumably followed his advice.
