In 1175, while exploring Abyss, Aelfric stumbled upon Sitri's body. Despite having been dead for over 10 years, she was somehow still in pristine condition, but clearly still dead. Having heard of a mysterious rite enacted centuries in the past by Seiros to revive her mother, Aelfric desired to enact this Rite of Rising in the hopes of reviving Sitri. To this end, he gathered those who bore the Crests of the Four Apostles: Aubin, Noa, Timotheos, and Chevalier; Yuri, Constance, Hapi, and Balthus, respectively.
One day in 1180, the child of Sitri and Jeralt, Byleth, alongside the current three House Leaders of the Officers Academy (Edelgard, Dimitri, and Claude) plus three students of each House (Linhardt, Ashe and Hilda) happen upon a secret passage to Abyss. After a tense battle between the Ashen Wolves and Byleth and their students, he meets Byleth for the first time. Knowing that they are Sitri and Jeralt's child, he fondly tells them more about their parents. Knowing of their skills as a mercenary and as a new professor, he requests that they take on the Ashen Wolves as their students, which they accept.
Working with Yuri (whom Aelfric forced into aiding him by kidnapping his beloved mother), he obtained the Chalice of Beginnings by posing as a hostage taken by Metodey. With his intentions made clear, he kidnaps the three Ashen Wolves with Yuri's help and enacts the ritual. Despite discovering that Yuri was actually a double agent, working on Rhea's behalf, he begins the ritual. Thanks to an intervention by Byleth, the ritual is abruptly halted, but he has nearly completed it nonetheless.
Despite the severe consequences, Aelfric is too blinded by his desire to see Sitri once more that he decides to push through. However, in its incomplete state, the power of the Chalice and Ritual goes haywire, causing the Chalice of Beginnings to absorb him and Sitri's corpse, warping Aelfric into a terrifying Umbral Beast. Despite its colossal power, he is eventually slain, causing his body to dissipate.
Personality
Aelfric is a kind man who pities the denizens of Abyss and desires to help them live better lives and perhaps one day return to the surface. It is he who created the Ashen Wolves house to enforce this desire. Many of Abyss' dwellers are touched by his kindness and are fond of him.
He was close to Jeralt and Sitri, Byleth's parents, especially the latter whom he loved dearly. Despite his affections for her, he only wanted her to be happy and was more than happy to see how much she loved Jeralt and even more so her love for her child. Her death deeply impacted him as much, if not more than, it did Jeralt.

With Sitri's death, the emotionally-broken Aelfric became distrustful of Rhea, who he correctly believed was somehow involved with her death. This was solidified when he discovered Sitri's body frozen in time in Abyss, as Rhea couldn't bring herself to simply bury her friend. His love for her warped his sense of reason as he desired to revive her at any cost, even if it meant having to harm her child and sacrifice others.
In the end, as twisted as he was, it is also made clear that his intentions were more misguided than actually villainous. It also did not take away his genuine kindness for the dwellers of Abyss as he had formed the Ashen Wolves over five years prior to discovering Sitri's body. The Wolves themselves, despite being understandably unhappy at his actions, believed that Aelfric was very bad at playing the role of a villain.
