History

Alberich was a poor gnome[1] (or a Dwarf)[2] from the Nibelung Clan.[1]

He came across the Rhinegold, a gold rock created from the Mjolnir of a Thor that existed before an early Ragnarök. Warned by the Rhinemaiden Flosshilda that the one who would forge a Ring of the Rhinegold would be rewarded by world-conquest, but that to forge such ring would require to renounce love, Alberich grasped it, claiming that he had never known love.[1] He then forged into the Circlet of Power and Tarnhelm from it. However, he became corrupted from it and forced all the other gnomes to work for him in the mines of Nibelheim until Odin and Siegfried took it all away from him.[3]

Notes

Alberich has been stated to be either a Gnome[1] or a Dwarf.[2] It is unknown if he was a Dwarf of Nidavellir, or if "Dwarf" is simply a synonym for "gnome" (and reverse).
