However, King decides to use Lancer as a hostage in hopes of forcing the heroes to surrender. When the Heroes reach the top of Card Castle, Lancer can be seen attempting to reason with his father. In the climax of Chapter 1, King makes an appearance as the main antagonist. With the Knight's appearance, the three other kings were locked away in Card Castle, and King put himself and Lancer into absolute power over his kingdom. It is implied that King then started working for the Knight's schemes, and that it was the Knight who created the Eastern Fountain at Card Castle. However, some time before Kris and Susie enter the Card Kingdom, the Knight appeared. Long ago, the Card Kingdom was ruled by four kings. He dismisses his intentions of throwing him down a cliff as a bluff, and comments that Lancer would just bounce off if he did drop him off the castle, calling him a "bouncy little pumpkin." During the final fight, it is revealed that King's loyalty lies solely with the Knight, and that he'll do anything to avoid failing them to the point of threatening to kill Lancer if Kris, Ralsei, and Susie do not surrender.ĭespite this, King does seem to have some form of care for his son, as when talking to him in his cell, he asks if Lancer was happy.

King also displays signs of abuse towards his son Lancer, in which he often neglects him and even uses him as a hostage to gain the upper hand in battle. He appears to be power-hungry, evident by his constant wishes of gaining control of the World along with his following of Knight's plan to capture the three other Kings. King is a cold-hearted Darkner with little compassion towards his subjects and only considers his own wishes. King's right arm can only be seen when he turns around or is carried by the crowd at the end of his battle.

What differentiates him from Lancer is the three-spiked crown on his head, the enormous mouth (with more square shaped teeth compared to the curved fang shaped ones in the mouth on his face) on his stomach shaped like a blue spade from where a chain comes out when used as a weapon in battle, and the black cape that flies away at the end of the battle. King shares multiple features with his son, such as the tear-shaped head with a black spade where his eyes should be, a mouth showing his tongue and big teeth, a broad and white/dark grey body, and blue gloves and boots.
