History[]
Mider is a dark fairy bent on becoming the king of Tir Na Nóg. It was Mider who provided Queen Meave the magical ram-headed staff and later the powerful rune stone for it. In return, he asked for her help in gaining the throne of Tir Na Nóg from Fin Varra. Mider has a vast spy network consisting of Bogies who answer to both himself and Maeve.
He uses the magical Silver Chalice from Ivar's kingdom to transport back and forth between a realm of darkness to increase and maintain his powers. After Maeve's defeat and banishment, he aligned himself with the next holder of the chalice, the sorceress Nemain.
