Besides, 30 years earlier before the series, other stonekeepers fought to keep them at bay and were eventually able to successfully defeat them. One stonekeeper— a mild and quiet young male elf from a small village— was kept in detainment in hopes of him returning to normal. However, the boy told them that they should have rather killed him and that they would regret their decision. One night, the stone returned to help the boy escape and he used his mystic stone powers to destroy the cell. The guards that were assigned to watch over him were killed including Leon Redbeard's father. The young elf eventually transformed into the Elf King, the evil beloved ruler/lord of Gulfen.
