Asgardian Royal Family

The Asgardian Royal Family is a powerful bloodline of Asgardians, formed by late King Buri of Asgard. The current king of Asgard is Odin.

History
"A wise king never seeks out war. But he must always be ready for it."

- Odin

The Asgardian Royal Family was founded by the Asgardian Buri and was devoted to the dominion over Asgard and peacekeeping in the rest of the Nine Realms, although its early history was heavily marked with wars. After Buri died, the throne was passed to his son Bor, who notably fought against the Dark Elves led by Malekith during what would be known as the First Dark Elf Conflict. Bor stole the Aether from Malekith and knew that no one could destroy it. Therefore, he ordered the Einherjar to bury the Infinity Stone in a place where no one could find it.

Bor eventually died during another war and his son Odin claimed the throne of Asgard. Along with his daughter Hela, who he named his Executioner, Odin conducted bloody and violent campaigns across the Nine Realms. When Odin decided to put an end to these wars, tensions occurred in the Asgardian Royal Family as Hela's ambition was limitless. Thus, Odin decided to banish and imprison his own daughter, who would later try to escape, massacring the Valkyries in the process. Odin changed the history of Asgard and its Royal Family, erasing all mentions of Hela's existence and devoting himself to peace.
