"I was working with these elf gentlemen. Uh, it was bad."
"Elves? Elves are real?"
"Sweet guys. All that weird sex stuff you hear about, it's only partially true."
Santa Claus and Alice Quinn[src]

Elves are magical creatures known to associate with Santa Claus.

History[]

During Quentin Coldwater's first year at Brakebills University, he asked Professor Bigby if he was an elf after seeing the professor's wings for the first time, but Bigby corrected him by stating that he was a Pixie.[1]

After spending centuries refining the spell used to find good-natured children, Santa Claus needed help getting a book from the Poison Room to finish the spell, but was denied access by the Order's Librarians. He enlisted the help of a number of elves to infiltrate the Library of the Neitherlands, but after returning the elves later died from radiation poisoning and Claus was subsequently charged with the possession of restricted materials and murder on Library property, and was imprisoned by the Order.[2]

Trivia[]

  • In an unused draft for Word as Bond, the Lorian magician Ilario was revealed to be an Elf, though this idea may have been scrapped as there is no mention of Ilario's race being any different than his fellow Lorians. However, as many Fillorians are unable to access magic, it would help to explain why he was the only person on Fillory shown casting spells. In the episode's recap, he is simply referred to as the "spooky magician".
