## Summary

*King Piccolo* (*Demon King Piccolo* or *Piccolo Sr.*) was a powerful Namekian warrior of the Demon Clan, who terrorized Earth until his death at the hands of a young Goku, in the original timeline, but survived and continued to wage centuries of war in a splinter timeline.

In the original timeline he is the father/precursor to Piccolo Junior (normally just known as Piccolo) who would go on to befriend Goku, rediscover his Namekian heritage, and defend the Earth from many future enemies.

## Biography

He was created from a division of the *good* and *evil*  halves of a powerful Namekian who traveled to Earth long ago, and who forgot his name and identity as a being from the Planet Namek.

The *good* of this so-called *Nameless Namekian* would manifest itself as Kami - who would go on to become the benevolent guardian of Earth of many years - while the *evil* became Piccolo.

Piccolo would go on to declare himself the "*Demon King*", and spawn armies of Dark Vassals: mutant offspring which were effectively clones of their father-creator, but twisted and unrecognizable as pure Namekians by their evil nature, and en masse replication.

### King Piccolo Wars (Age 461)

King Piccolo led a massive and brutal campaign of conquest over the Earth, pitting his armies of "Demons" against an overwhelmed Humanity.

After years of conflict, the young Human martial artist Roshi, and his Master Mutaito, were able to defeat King Piccolo by sealing him away in an Electric Rice Cooker using a technique known as the *Mafuba,* or, *Evil Containment Wave*.

In time the events of this conflict were consigned to legend, with only a few beings like Master Roshi and Kami knowing the truth.

### King Piccolo's Return (Age 753)

An aged and decrepit King Piccolo was accidentally released from his prison by Emperor Pilaf, Mai, and Shu, in Age 753. Soon after, Piccolo began to reassemble his Demon forces by creating Piano, Tambourine, Cymbal and Drum (yeah, I know).

After deploying his minions to retrieve the *Dragon Balls,* with the aid of Pilaf's Dragon Radar technology, he was quickly able to assemble the seven orbs in order to wish for his youth and power back.

Having had Tambourine kill the Human Krillin in pursuit of one of the *Dragon Balls,* Krillin's master, the now aged Roshi, and his friend Goku became aware of Piccolo's return.

After briefly overthrowing the Earth Government, and declaring himself King, he was eventually defeated by the young Saiyan Goku, who launched himself through Piccolo's chest.

In his last moment's before death, King Piccolo created one last Dark Vassal - this time containing the purest replication of his own being - in an attempt to prolong his life and achieve revenge on his enemies. After spitting out the egg containing this clone-offspring, King Piccolo exploded inexplicably, while the egg would go on to hatch Piccolo Junior.

### The Demon-Android Wars (Age 753-????)

In an alternate timeline in which Goku either failed to defeat King Piccolo, or never existed/came or Earth at all, King Piccolo would continue to survive for centuries.

In this timeline, the paramilitary organisation known as The Red Ribbon Army, who had in this reality not been decimated by Goku, would lead the Human resistance against the tyrannical King Piccolo and his growing armies of demonic minions.

Finding conventional weaponary inneffective against Piccolo's forces,the Red Ribbon army - now with the backing of the Earth Government-in-Exile, and the wealthy technology conglomerate *Capsule Corp.* - turned to it's "*Artificial Humans*" branch of Military Research and Development, headed by Dr. Gero, his wife, and Dr. Flappe.

These scientists had previously created eight Artificial Human prototype Androids destined to serve in the Red Ribbon Army's forces, with varying degrees of success. But with the human casualties mounting, efforts were made to create new lines Combat Automata, cyberneticly enchanced humanoids and, at later stages of the conflict, "Bio-organic Weapons" to combat Piccolo's forces.

During this conflict, Piccolo was able to reunite with Kami, while retaining his sense of self as the dominant half of their being. By doing so he became exponentially more powerful, and was able to assume the mantle of Guardian of Earth, ruling from *The Lookout* high above the clouds over Earth.

While the Time Patrol eventually got involved in the conflict - with it's assigned Patroller, *Percel,* claiming to have resolved the conflict - the exact fate of King Piccolo and the war itself is unconfirmed.
