The Crazy LEGO King is the King of Chessland.5702 LEGO Chess Instruction Booklet The King speaks informally with a southern drawl and often sings rock 'n' roll, in a manner evocative of Elvis Presley.
The Crazy LEGO King describes himself as leader of a band in Chessland, opposing a copycat gang led by a rival King in a showdown where each side is trying to kidnap the other King and shove him in the lockup. The Pawns are his roadies; the Knights ride BMX bikes using a horse's head as a logo; the Bishop twins are his bodyguards wearing priest hats; the Rooks are trucks for carrying gear during roadshows; the Queen is the band's manager; and the King is the lead singer.5702 LEGO Chess "How to Play" The King is married to the Queen, who is the only one who tells him to clean up his throne room.
In 5702 LEGO Chess, the Crazy LEGO King welcomes players to the throne room of his castle, which acts as the game's central hub and menu. If the player selects "How to Play", they enter the King's Study where the King teaches the rules and tactics of chess, and rewards players with records (bronze, silver, gold, or platinum) based on how well they do. Upon completing the Story Game, a cutscene plays where the King offers his crown and throne to the player. When playing with the traditional chess set, the Crazy LEGO King and his rival palette-swapped King appear as the advisors. The game's instruction manual booklet is also presented as first-person narration by the King.

* The Crazy LEGO King is voiced by Tom Clarke-Hill, who also voices Darren, Nubby Stevens, Papa Brickolini, Snap Lockitt, the Bulls Guard, and the Old Fisherman in 5774 LEGO Island 2: The Brickster's Revenge,LEGO Island 2: Cast List and unspecified characters in LEGO City Undercover and LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2.
* In "How to Play", the Crazy LEGO King describes himself as the King of the white side, while the black side is referred to as a rival gang run by an opposing King. However, in the traditional chess set, the red King advises the black side while a palette-swapped blue King advises the white side. This is presumably due to the white side being blue and the black side being red when played with the Western and Pirates chess sets.
