## **BIOGRAPHY**

The Skeleton King was originally the kind and humble alchemist who lived in the region that will be named in The zone of Wasted Years. He was also a friend of Captain Shuggazoom, who requested him to make a substitute heroic force, which will later be known as the Hyperforce. At one stage, the Alchemist were studying Netherworld, which contained a group of evil beings termed by the Verron Mystics as the "Dark Ones". Captain Shuggazoom was at first worried that these evil creatures would breach the barrier the Alchemist created, but he assured him that they are all safe. Unfortunately when Captain Shuggazoom left, Mandarin was fiddling with the control, releasing two of the creatures into the world: one; a demon-like being who subdued the Alchemist, and another; a worm like being that would eventually become the Dark One Worm.

As a result, the Alchemist found himself slowly losing his humanity due to the influence of the Dark One, so to protect the universe from what he would become, he created the Monkey Team to defend the universe after he fell to darkness and became the Skeleton King. Once he had finished creating them, he placed them in suspended animation, while also erasing their memories, so they would not know of his fall to evil. Once he had finished all his preparations, his final video journal entry had him announce "Now the Dark Ones claim my soul!" as he finally transformed into the Skeleton King.

Outside of Citadel Of Bone, he is also a member of The Villains leading his own crew as a side mission.
