King's Champion

The King's Champion is a position in the Saran Empire where a warrior chosen by the King acts as his fist, crushing all his enemies. The title is bestowed on the greatest warrior in the Empire and the prestige it granted was often jealously coveted. The King's Champion often acted as chief bodyguard to the King and was a deterrent to warriors challenging the King and wasting his time.
Throughout the Monarchical Period of Kazan, the title was often granted to branch or junior members of the Sarada Clan but was occasionally granted to fighters from other Clans who sufficiently distinguished themselves.
== Notable King's Champions ==
Kayin: First King's Champion, named by Sarada himself.
Zanko: Last King's Champion of the Monarchical Age. After killing his brother Makara over his lover Aria, Zanko demonstrated his Oversaran Power and was promoted to the position to fight a newly returned King Crash. However, faced with the prospect of his death, Zanko betrayed the sarans and sided with Crash, killing King Aragoran and becoming the Holy Ghost.
Dashora: While he never bore the title, he fulfilled the role, acting as his brother Arisada's most powerful warrior and representative.
John Duke: The Earth Saran. After defeating the Holy Ghost, the newly crowned Arisada both restored the Naru Clan and declared John his King's Champion. Not having grown up on Kazan, John never really appreciated the role or its responsibilities and instead regarded it as a hassle since it caused a seemingly endless parade of warriors to challenge him.
