King Vegeta III

**King Vegeta**, more specifically **Vegeta III**, is the king of all Saiyans and the father of Vegeta IV and Tarble. After his people were annexed by King Cold's Cold Army he had no choice but to pledge allegiance, but still kept power over his people; this continued into the Saiyans' time under Frieza's Frieza Force, until the tyrant slaughtered them.

## Biography

### Early Life

#### Prince of the Saiyans

Vegeta III was born as the first and only son of King Vegeta II. His early life was uneventful for a saiyan mostly filled with conquering planets where his thirst for blood was first put on display. But also his knack for unknown wisdom when instead of executing Bardock for killing his father, he gave him his own team to command.

### King of the Saiyans

#### A Son

Vegeta ascended to 'King of the Saiyans' after the death of his father at the hand of Frieza (though he didn't know it at the time) at some point between giving Bardock his own team and the birth of his first son, Vegeta IV, in Age 732.

## Appearance

King Vegeta closely resembles his eldest son, Vegeta, though he is bearded, has brown hair, and is taller than his son. Being a part of Frieza's army, King Vegeta wears the typical Battle Armor with minor customizations, such as the red cape and royal medallion.

## Personality

King Vegeta appears to be a bold, arrogant, boastful, yet level-headed and clever Saiyan, and a symbol of their pride. He was also a ruthless and merciless military commander who openly took enjoyment in the end of his opponents, traits he was more than happy to pass along to his son, personally bringing him along in at least one such battle. Although he is "king," he has come to terms with the fact that his people have no real freedom under Frieza, but he does not let this feeling on to his people. One important aspect of King Vegeta, is that he was the only person Vegeta truly loved in his childhood and for most of his life. When Frieza fatally wounded Vegeta, he explained to Goku that, apparently, the reason why he served Frieza was because Frieza threatened his father.

King Vegeta showed a jealous side when he learned that Broly was born with potential far greater than his own son which led him to banish the young Saiyan to Planetoid Vampa. Although it would later be shown that his actions were justified due to Broly's massive power and uncontrollable nature which eventually lead him to rival even the God of Destruction Beerus and forced Goku, Vegeta and Raditz to fuse into Ragito to defeat him. Interestingly King Vegeta as he choses banishment to a primitive planetoid called Vampa over execution and tries to convince Paragus that he sent the young Broly to conquer Vampa as an infiltration baby, but Paragus saw through his lie and King Vegeta explained he believed Broly was a dangerous mutant who's power could be a threat to Planet Vegeta and the Saiyan Army. However Paragus realized the truth that King Vegeta was jealous of Broly's power being greater than Prince Vegeta's. Additionally, King Vegeta did not stop Paragus when he fled from the castle and commandeered Beets' spaceship to rescue Broly from Vampa, though fortunately for King Vegeta, Paragus, Beets, and Broly became stranded on Vampa, though Paragus swore revenge on King Vegeta and trained Broly to serve as an instrument of revenge.
