### Appearance

The King is very tall, and has white hair long enough to cover the room he is found in. He wears a black suit of armor with large square shoulder plates, decorated by grey reflections and white stars on his gloves and knees; and a tall spiky black crown that indents over his forehead. He hides his face with his hands, which show Rock signs.

## Story

Months prior to the start of In Stars and Time, the King took control of Dormont's House of Change: corrupting it beyond recognition, and either turning those present into Sadnesses or freezing them in time. Mirabelle is the only one who escaped.

## Trivia

* His hair feels like straw to the touch.
* In his speech prior to fighting him for the first time in START AGAIN: a prologue, the King mentions both the Change God and "stars"; for the latter, he is actually the only character to mention them out loud — as opposed to Siffrin, who only ever refers to them while thinking.
	+ He also mentions "the Universe", which is otherwise mentioned only once, also by Siffrin.
* If you asked the King about his birthday, he would start crying for hours.
