Cold

**Cold**  (コルド, *Korudo*), also known as "**Cold the Great King**" (コルド大（だい）王（おう）, *Korudo Daiō*; *Viz* "King Cold"), was the patriarch of Freeza's Family, and a king in his son's army.

## Background

At some point, Cold told Freeza to never challenge Majin Boo or the Hakaishin Beerus, due to the strength they possessed.

## Personality

King Cold was extremely arrogant and egotistical about his heritage, believing that his clan was the most powerful in all of the universe. He was frequently shown to be impatient, imploring Freeza to first destroy the Earth during their approach, then later when he noted that it would take Goku three hours to arrive on the planet. In the anime, he continued to badger his son to hurry up and finish Trunks.[*citation needed*] Like his son, Cold was threatened by the existence of Super Saiyan and insisted that they be stamped out to preserve their family's spot as the strongest in the universe. Despite this, in the anime, Cold admonished Freeza with a stern look when his son backed away fearfully from a newly transformed Trunks.

Cold was also no stranger to treachery and clearly felt no emotional attachment to his son. Despite his supposed loyalty to his son, Cold shrugged off his death and immediately invited Trunks to be his new "child", claiming that his clan was only open to the strong. In the anime, he was revealed to be quite cowardly, pleading with Trunks not to kill him by insisting that Freeza was the evil one, not himself

## Appearance

The appearance of Cold, while it has had slight changes throughout his life, has remained relatively consistent in terms of height and build. He bears a great resemblance to his son's first transformation, and as such, is a man of impressive stature and musculature structure, with horns jutting out from both sides of his head. Prior to the annexation of Vegeta and the death of the Saiyans, the skin surrounded Cold's arms and legs were a dark purple, while his feet, chest, and face were a lighter shade. The armor-like plating on his wrists and ankles were solidly white. His combat jacket had black plating, and his cape was a bright crimson.

By the time of his death, Cold's skin was a uniform shade of purple, and the armor-like plating on his wrists and ankles had gained a pink highlight. His Combat Jacket was navy, and his cape was a similar shade, while being crimson on the interior.
