Treasure King

Treasure king is a dog who rules the City State of Treasure Kingdom. He maintains order with an army of enslaved robots [6].

## Design

Treasure King's concept art originally had amber eyes, but when it came time for sprite work, Trash Queen felt it more appropriate to change them to blue to make them stand out against the rest of his color palette [9]. Her armor is gold plated to ensure he looks fancy while retaining protection. The actual metal underneath is classified for security reasons [12].

## Personality

Treasure King is the epitome of elitism and appropriation. He only wants the best in his kingdom and cares only for his own pride and wealth [6], and though he makes a show about doing things for the good of the country, he only cares for it and his people as he would his own property. He will lie, exploit others, and commit murder to get his way, and there is no possible way for him to change. He's also extremely cunning and shouldn't be under estimated. That said, there are reasons he's like this, but it doesn't absolve him of anything [7].

He has the attitude of an edgy smug atheist towards religion, not believing that The Lady of the Lost exists, but won't voice this opinion without being aske for PR reasons [11].

## History

### Warring States Period

Before Trash Queen deposed him, the Treasure King ruled the city-state of the Treasure Kingdom, the dominant power in the region. This status was maintained by playing the neighboring city-states off each other to keep them from challenging him [3].

### Post-Treasure Kingdom

Following the collapse of the Treasure Kingdom and Trash Queen's ascension to the throne, despite being defeated and cast out, he is still greatly feared by the populace [2].

## Abilities

The Treasure King has the ability to target with magic, anyone whose name he knows [4]. His power stems from both magic and technology and claims to have some form of immortality. Some believe he got this from his wife, but others believe it to be something else [5]. This magic fails to work if the target knows his name. For this reason, he also utilizes the save crystals. He is a talented inventor and arcanist.

## Trivia

* Treasure King's personality seems to have been inspired by that of Professor Ratigan from The Great Mouse Detective [1].
* Should a person kiss his wife, he would hate you [8].
* His ancestor Eadwulf Plutocanis was supposedly someone's fursona [10].
* If he did get his immortality from his wife, he didn't have it before Tiffany was conceived [5].
