Elric of Melniboné

Elric of Melniboné is a fictional character created by author Michael Moorcock. He is an antihero and sorcerer, known for his pale skin, albino appearance, and use of a magical sword called Stormbringer. Elric is the last emperor of the ancient, decadent civilization of Melniboné, often portrayed as morally complex—struggling with destructive impulses, his own vulnerabilities, and the corrupting influence of his magic and power. His stories explore themes of power, chaos, and fate, set in a fantastical universe blending sword-and-sorcery and cosmic elements.
