Elric of Melniboné fights on the side of Chaos, he roams the land wielding Stormbringer, The Black Blade, as his only true companion but little does he know...

Elric belongs to a race of extra-dimensional elf like beings know as the Melniboneans. Unlike his people Elric feels remorse and is not it all delighted by their cruelty. This due to his tragic birth which lead to the death of his mother, which was his father's true love (a rare thing among Melniboneans). Because Elric was born as an albino his father believed it to be a cursed place upon them for not sacrificing any women upon his birth as Melnibonean tradition called for. As Elric grew his father distanced himself from him and he took shelter in books from which he learnt of feelings and outward emotions.After his father passing Elric became the leader of his people, a thing he despised as he sees his kingdom as weak and dying. During the his reign Elric feel in love with Cymoril (who was also his cousin, something natural among his people) however Cymoril's brother had other ideas for his sister and the throne, those the birth of Elric's rival, Yrkoon.

Battle for the Throne It would not be long before Yrkoon was unsatisfied with Elric ruling over their belong city, Imrryr. Thuse when several humans attack Imrryr Yrkoon, accompaning Elric to the battle only to wait until his cousin had no more strength left and he pushes him off the edge of the boat knowing the water will do it's part. However Elric, survive by the ancient pack his people had with the Elemental Lords, particularly the lord of water who is very fond of Elric. Upon his return Elric, witnessed Yrkoon trying to take the throne, who was just surprise as anyone to see him alive.

Powers Do to his Melnibonean physiology Elric has natural longevity, affinity for magic and is genetically pure. However do to his albinism his stamina is severely reduced and he can't engage in long combat without succumbing to fatigue. Previously to obtaining Stormbringer, Elric used a combination of several spells and drugs to maintained his stamina. He once made use of an elixir with the same capabilities but he feared becoming addicted to it. Elric is also a skill magician as much as his people were in his prime but he has called upon several Elemental Lords to save his life and extra-dimensional beings. The stronger the spell the longer he most concentrate, however his powers are weakened if he travels to another dimension.

After obtaining Stormbringer, Elric became one the most feared swordsmen in the world. He is capable of going face to face with some the most powerful demons, demigods and entities y relaying on the soul sucking sword which in turn feed him stolen energies. While one hit from Stormbringer is enough to kill a mortal a demon or any other higher entity requires more than that. However Elric also gains powers from them. The complications is that Elric is shown to been under possession by absorbing demonic energies Elric first appeared in comics in 1972, in Conan the Barbarian issues 14–15, an adventure in two parts entitled "A Sword Called Stormbringer!" and “The Green Empress of Melniboné”. The comic was written by Roy Thomas and illustrated by Barry Windsor-Smith, based on a story plotted by Michael Moorcock and James Cawthorn.[14]

As well as within comic book adaptations, Elric also appeared in a number of original stories published by DC Comics.
