== Biography ==
King Orange was originally a regular stick figure who had a son named Gold, his only known relative. In his younger years, he and Gold played at a playground. King Orange reminisced those good times as he and Gold went off to the town festival. However, Gold noticed an advertisement for a game called Minecraft and begged his father to let him play, so King Orange admitted him into a virtual reality booth which enabled someone to travel directly into Minecraft itself. Gold entered a new world and while he is having fun, King Orange noticed an alarm going off and a glitch manifesting, corrupting the game. The programmers panicked and unsuccessfully tried to shut the simulation down. Seeing the world decay around him, Gold managed to exit the simulation, but the doors to the booth were sealed closed. Despite King Orange and the programmers' best attempts to pry them open, Gold was ultimately swallowed back into the game as it crashed, taking Gold with it.
fueled by his eternal hatred of the game and everything related to it, devoted all of his time and energy to ultimately avenge his son; as Minecraft destroyed his son, he would destroy Minecraft. Now obsessed with destroying the game, King Orange began studying everything about it as well as other topics like vortexes and black holes. Ultimately, he realized that to destroy Minecraft, he must use its own power against it and began designing a staff, as well as researching which blocks are the most powerful to fulfill the necessary requirements.
Eventually, he came across the Command Block and believed it to be what he is looking for. After a shady purchases made in a back alley, he tries out his staff. Unfortunately, it does not function and King Orange begins constructing more staffs, each made from different materials and using different designs. Finally, he creates a usable one and and is successful in harnessing the Command Block's power. However, when activating it, all it does is summon a single block of cobblestone.
Realizing the Command Block was too weak, King Orange moved on from the Minecraft Wiki and instead began reading into Mysteries which described unofficial characters, items and such that weren't necessarily part of the game's ruleset. This leads to him discovering a page which described the Minecraft Game Icon: the most powerful item in Minecraft. Since it contained the entire codebase of the game, it was the only thing capable of truly destroying Minecraft in its entirety. Having found exactly what he was looking for, King Orange read all about the game icon and, to his frustration, realized that the only thing about the icon that isn't mentioned is its location. Refusing to give up, he begins asking other stick figures if they know anything about where to find the Minecraft Game Icon, only to find the same answer from all of them: they didn't know.
Hitting a dead end, King Orange wandered the streets staring at the page until he walked by a TV store and saw the original Animation vs. Minecraft video, showing The Second Coming and his four friends, the Fighting Stick Figures discovering the Minecraft Game Icon on their home—Alan's desktop—and their fight against Herobrine who possessed Red. Shocked, King Orange realized that the icon is in fact obtainable and begins asking if anyone knows the stick figures on the TV to no avail. He began putting up posters asking people if they've seen the five stick figures all across town in hopes of finding any leads that can lead him to them and ultimately, the game icon.
He is approached by Purple who tells King Orange he has met the gang before and showcases his abilities as well as the Elytra he obtained from his first adventure with them. Having no other leads, King Orange accepts Purple as his helper and leads him into a cave he dug under his house using the Command Block and Purple discovers the various blocks and systems that King Orange built underneath in order to obtain the game icon from the The Second Coming and others. Activating the Nether Portal, King Orange and Purple journey to a Bastion Remnant where, using the staff, he easily overpowers the Piglin Brutes and earns their loyalty by showcasing his power and giving them gold ingots.
With his plan now set into motion, King Orange created a throne out of gold and other materials and sits down. Purple gifts King Orange the crown that he once wore when ruling over the villagers. Taking the crown, King Orange dons it and officially begins his quest to obtain the Minecraft Game Icon to finally avenge his beloved son, no matter the cost.
Eventually, King realizes the damage he has done and sets out to make things right. He fights alongside The Second Coming and his friends to defeat Herobrine, and expresses to Purple how sorry he is for everything he did. Purple forgives him for it.
Afterwards, King officially adopts Purple a couple of years later, only strengthening the relationship they had worked up to.

During his first appearance, King is described as a feared leader with severe anger issues and manipulative tactics, as shown when he tricks Blue and Yellow into staying in the nether to keep his plan from being exposed. As the plan continues, he becomes more and more ruthless and violent, relentlessly attacking the Color Gang as they try to stop him.
However, under the evil persona, there is a loving man with a fatherly urge to protect the people he loves. While he does have severe anger issues stemming from unresolved personal issues in his family, its clear that he cherishes the people in his life, had wants to protect them.

== In The Series ==
=== To Heaven And Back ===
To Heaven And Back acts as an alternate timeline of the canon given by Alan. In the alternate timeline, Purple and Second do not make it out of the destructive beam after destroying it. At the realization that he may as well have killed Purple, King is filled with regret over his actions and guilty for hurting Purple the way he did and never apologizing for it.
Some time later, The Chosen One tells a story about The Day of Surrection: an annual heavenly event that allows deceased to return to life if they complete a mission of their choosing. King is overjoyed at this news, hopeful that he can make things right with Purple.
Chosen and Yellow create a communication device that allows them to communicate with artificial apparitions of Purple and Second. This does work, but the happiness is short lived, when Herobrine attacks King's Palace. The device is destroyed, but it does give Purple and Second the mission they need: rescue their friends and defeat Herobrine.
While Purple and Second journey towards the Surrection Portal, King and the others launch an attack against Herobrine to help them. While they gain the upper hand for a time, Herobrine attempts to kill Green by launching him into a cliff. This fails, when Purple arrives in the nick of time and rescues him.
The group reunites, and King sincerely apologizes to Purple for the incident in the Nether. Purple forgives him, and the two embrace and reconcile. King tells Purple that he loves him, and Purple reciprocates it. The two then fight Herobrine together, alongside the rest of their allies.
Eventually, after numerous close calls, Purple gains the upper hand and defeats him,, collapsing into King's arms afterwards. The two embrace one last time before Purple temporarily returns to Heaven, leaving King devastated again.
However, he returns shortly afterwards, and the two embrace and reconcile, officially becoming the family both needed. While unclear what happens to them afterwards, it is implied that King reconnected with some old friends and began adoption proceedings without Purple's knowledge, intending to surprise him.
=== Shards of Silver ===
Almost two years after Purple and King reconciled, Purple is currently staying with King, while King is reaching the final stages of the adoption proceedings. After Chosen escapes Rocket Corp mercenaries, causing damage to the city, King rescues Purple before he is crushed by a falling building and takes him home. 
A couple of days later, King returns home after the last of the adoption proceedings are completed, fully intending to surprise Purple with the approved certificate. However, he is greeted by Rocket Corp agents swarming his hone, and he discovers a ransom note from Silver Ribbon, one of Purple's older cousins.
Panicking, King recruits his friend and neighbor, Maroon, to help him break into the base and rescue him. The two arrive and separate after watching Purple and his friends get captured and seaprsted. After wandering around the place for a while, King is relieved to discover Purple, alive and unharmed. The group reunites and attempts to escape before Silver captures them and tries to blow the place sky high.
After Purple is attacked and knocked out, King attempts to get through to him, revealing that he did truly love Purple and wanted him to be happy, going as far as to surprise him with adoption papers. This helps the group in bringing Purple back, and the escape the building. While the surprise was slightly ruined, Purple still happily accepts King's adoption and embraces him.
=== Thanatophobia ===
A couple of days following the aadoption, King waits for Maroon to take Purple home following a day atbwork at work him, before the city is attacked by a trio of Silver's old friends. While King and Maroon escape temporarily, they are eventually captured and told there is little chance of Purple surviving(Purple has been trapped in an alrernate reality), leaving King shattered. 
The two reunite with Victim and keep The Monoliths busy just as Purple returns with residents from the alternate reality. King and the otherd escape just as Purple os nearly killed by a Monolith.
The two reunite once Maroon rescues Purple, King expressing relief that Purple was safe. The group comes up with a plan to stop the Vira Carnis creatures before they do more damage, involving Purple breaking into the Monoliths chest to free his alternate self. The plan succeeds, but nearly costs Purple's life. He does, however, survive, reunites with King, and is later taken to Rocket Corp for an examination. Afterwards, King and Purple return home, unaware that Midnight is watching them, enacting his plan for revenge.
=== Made To Ruin ===
A couple of weeks after Thanatophobia, King and Purple are hanging out with the Color Gang before they are ambushed by Midnight, a teenager with a hatred towards King because of his bond with Purple. Despising King for finding happiness, Midnight kidnaps Purple before driving away. When the realization hits him, King breaks down crying, believing that Purple will be gone forever.
Green and Blue arrive with police officers, including Detective Cornflower. King and Cornflower develop a friendship, Cornflower comforting the distraught parent and promising that he will find Purple.
Help, however, comes too late, as Saffron, one of Midnight's allies-turned-slaves, escapes the base and makes it to the police station. When Cornflower asks what happened, Saffron tells the story about how Purple has been abused, totured, and raped ever since the kidnapping. King is horrified, but remains determined to rescue Purple.
While an initial attempt succeeds, the group is unable to get the kids out of the base before Midnight threatens Purple at gunpoint. A devastated King is forced to abandon the rescue mission, leaving Purple at Midnight's mercy. Midnight later relocates the teenagers to a base across town, and Cornflower is forced to close the case. King is heartbroken, and the group is forced to give up, accepting that Purple is gone forever.
Some time after, Cornflower alerts King and the Color Gang thst Ruby, another victim of Midnight, was in the hospital for multiple stab and slash wounds. She gives an exact location to where they are located, and while they try and make a plan to close in on him, King and Cornflower visit Midnight's biological father, Moon. 
After the failed attempt, the group learns that Midnight has opened fire on the teenagers. While horrified at the news and worried for his son, King takes Green and the others home when Cornflower leaves to go rescue them.
Early the next morning, Cornflower alerts them that Purple is in the hospital, barely pulling through due to malnutrition, dehydration, and pure weakness from rape and torture. After Cornflower alerts them that Purple will live, King is relieved and grateful for his help. King is later able to reunite with Purple afterwards, grateful for his survival and promising that nobody will ever hurt him again.
=== You Rewrote The Game ===
A couple of weeks later, King is waiting for Purple to come home after working on a history project before an earthquake hits. Meeting up with Cornflower, a shaken Lilac and her friends meet up with them and explain that Purple fell through a hole and hasn't resurfaced. Cornflower connects Purple's situation to numerous other cases from that day, and they jump through one of the holes.
King and the others wake up at General George Washington's camp, where he is panicking over the disappearance of his right-hand man, Alexander Hamilton(who has been de-aged, and is currently with Purple and Aaron Burr.), and Aaron Burr. He, King, and Cornflower journey towards the camp after Purple is able to send an SOS message just before disaster, reinforcements in the form of John Laurens, Hercules Mulligan, and Marquis de Lafayette. The group splits apart and breaks into the base, with Laurens and his group discovering Alexander and Purple, while King's group discovers Aaron after the three were separated. 
They theorize that the British were behind the time traveling, and the earthquake, just as explosion hits. The quartet gives chase, getting separated after Washington chases after Alexander after they were shot at. The group reunites, just as they are cornered by British soldiers. One of them attempts to threaten Purple at gunpoint, but is foiled when Lilac and her friends ambush the British, and Alexander throws himself into the rift, attempting to rescue Purple. 
King is able to rescue Purple and get him to a hospital, where he is treated for the gunshot, a concussion, and other minor injuries. Purple later wakes up, King at his side. 
=== Perfect Prime Target ===
Weeks after the Hamilton Incident, King allows the Color Gang to return to Stick City for a day of fun, but the peace is shattered after Lilac and her friends discover a dead body. Both King and Purple are left disturbed by the encounter, and return home with the group. Later, Cornflower shows King a note written by Midnight's biological father, Moon, detailing that Moon is going after Purple.
Purple is left shattered, shaken up, and paranoid from the note, but King reassures him thst he won't let anyone hurt Purple like Midnight did, putting the worries at ease for a while. However, King is forced to contemplate if he can really keep the promise, as Moon continues to threaten Purple through phone calls. 
King tries to keep Purple safe, trusting himself enough to send Purple to school following the threats. As much as he fears something will happen, Purple assures him that Lilac and her friends will protect him. Purple heads to school, telling King he loves him, which King repeats. King eventually returns home, hoping that he can trust that Lilac will keep him safe. 
A few hours later, King receives a text from Purple, saying that a shooter showed up to the school. Although left horrified, King still makes the decision to try and get to Purple before it's too late. It proves fruitless, as when the group reconvenes, Lilac hands King a note, alongside Purple's phone and necklace. Without opening the note, King is left shattered at the realization that Moon has kidnapped Purple.
A hunt for Moon immediately starts, as they raid Midnight's old bases and Moon's house, where they discover numerous threats towards Purple on his basement. When this proves fruitless, King and the others begin to lose hope.
However, King gets a notification two days following the abduction that Purple was found, rescued, and taken to the hospital. The group immediately goes there, grateful to know that Purple is alive. However, the relief is cut short when Cornflower tells King that Moon raped Purple.
Purple makes it through the night, but is left shattered and extremely sensitive. After numerous failed attempts to bring him back, King returns the necklace to him, bringing Purple back into reality, to his relief.
