Pelinal Whitestrake was famous for butchering the elves, or Alyeids at the time..

Alyeids were the ancestors of the Aldmer, ancestors of the Altmer..

The Thalmor had already put the Blades into hiding due to the Elve's hatred of Talos. I'm willing to bet a good amount of Septims that they were responsible for the Knights of the Nine's disappearence as well...

For Talos!

For the Knights of the Nine!

Long live the Stormcloaks! The Alyeids were not the ancestors of the Aldmer. They are an Aldmer offshot that is closly related to the Altmer. Also, disapperance is a strong word for an organization you can't see in Skyrim to begin with. They could be dead, they could be alive; we don't know.
