Centuries ago, when humans and monsters started fighting each other for control over the Earth, it created the War for the Surface Lands, and there were many deaths. This led to a mystic crystal to rot from within, and Gunmar was born from the corruption and darkness.
Gunmar served the warlord of the Gumm-Gumms, Orlagk as his top general. Later, Gunmar killed the Shattered King of the Quagawumps, his first victim. Gunmar conspired with many GummGumms that would be his army. In 501 CE, he also fought against Orlagk for the right to be the supreme warlord of the Gumm-Gumms, the battle lasting for weeks. Orlagk slashed off Gunmar's right eye, but he finally killed Orlagk and took full control of his army.
After the troll and human worlds were separated, Gunmar led his army to conquer the world and destroy the human race. In the Dark Ages, Gunmar grew resentful of King Arthur for taking much of his territory, despite his initial promise to never invade the Wild Wood. Gunmar was shocked when someone else has breached Camelot's defenses, whom he discovers was King Arthur's own half-sister/successor and Merlin's former apprentice, Morgana le Fay, whose dark magics has been empowered by the Arcane Order and now fights for magic's domination. Morgana promises to Gunmar that the Gumm-Gumms will have victory and shall bring forth the Eternal Night, which will permanently block out the sun, ensuring the trolls would live freely on the surface without fear of the sun turning them to stone. Morgana curses Gunmar's Decimaar Blade, which will allow him to turn any creature into a Gumm-Gumm to do him every whim and build his army. Kumiho also joined Gunmar after learning of her magical heritage.
Due to his ruthless ways and would kill them all without mercy, the good trolls ultimately choose to side with the humans and end Gunmar's reign of tyranny. This unleashed a battle between the Gumm-Gumms and the rest of the trolls, known as the Battle of Killahead Bridge. It ended when Alex defeated Gunmar, sealing him and his entire army into the Darklands (minus Bular, who was thrown away from the battlefield by the goddess/monster Nimue). Meanwhile, Merlin manages to seal Morgana away, preventing her from unleashing the Eternal Night.
Following the battle, the pieces of the Killahead Bridge were spread across the world so that Gunmar could not return, and the trolls and humans all agreed to live separately in peace. Trolls lived in hiding and kept their very existence a secret from future generations of mankind to come. However, Bular conspired to free his father so he could come back to the world.
