*Already Dead*

**Klaus**, the **Pillager King**, was the ruler of a Pillager clan and Kane's old rival. He was the main antagonist of "Already Dead", and was voiced by Daniel Wood.

## Design

Klaus is an illager with a grey beard, golden eyes and large eyebrows. His head is adorned with a golden crown to flaunt his self-proclaimed title as the Pillager King. He wears a black and red outfit with golden linings and has a pronounced six-pack. Klaus wields a large hammer and can summon a red armblade. When using the end crystal, Klaus has glowing purple eyes with white pupils and can manifest a pair of wings using magic.

## History

### Background

―Rainimator on Twitter

Klaus was a pillager whose exploits led to him earning popularity and a considerable number of followers in the Pillager Town. He began his own clan and, despite the pillagers being divided into many different clans and factions, proclaimed himself the Pillager King. In reality, most pillagers do not bow to him and serve other leaders. He and Kane were once both old rivals and friends.

#### *Already Dead*

In "Already Dead", Kane and his partner Ciara search for a missing end crystal and discover that Klaus has taken it and positioned it above his wooden "throne". He visits Klaus' base in Pillager Town and demands he give him the crystal, but Klaus aggressively refuses and tells Kane that he is unwelcome. Ciara then attempts to teleport inside with her blades and attack Klaus, but he strikes her down and teleports outside using the crystal as Kane slays his guards.

Pursued by Shaney and Michael, two other members of the Netherbane, Klaus flees to the Undead Wasteland and kills their horses so that they are unable to follow. He is then confronted by Kane in a clearing. Empowered by the crystal which he has bound within his hammer and used to gain magic wings, Klaus engages in a bare-chested brawl with Kane. Kane's attempts to attack are initially futile, but he then shoots and destroys the crystal, causing a great blast and leaving Klaus vulnerable.

Now with no weapons or magic, Klaus loses a fist fight to Kane and is left to die at the hands of the undead, who were lured by the blast. His fate is left unknown, although it is likely he was eaten by zombies.

## Personality

―Klaus surrounded by the undead

Klaus is brash and prideful, likely fueled by his sense of superiority from his self-proclaimed title as the Pillager King. He did not hesitate to turn on Kane, once his friend, in favor of the End Crystal and the powers it gave him.

## Skills

Klaus was born with innate magical talent, giving him the ability to harness end crystals. He may have learned magic from the evokers.

Klaus was able to use the crystal to enhance his strength and become highly resistant, teleport, and use arcane magic to gain wings and turn his hammer into a spear. Even without the crystal, Klaus is still both extremely strong and a proficient magic user who can manifest red armblades at will, although he was bested by Kane in a fist fight. He was also shown firing a crossbow in an early thumbnail of "Already Dead".

## Trivia

* Klaus is the first character with the title of 'king' not to be from the Nether.
* Klaus has been jokingly shipped with both Hogsworth and Brots.

### Creation

Klaus was designed by XEliteXCraftersX, a skin designer for the Rainimator Production Team. Old Chad Roman suggested Klaus' name. Rainimator gave Klaus wings after he said on the Discord that he would do it if the message got one 'amogus emoji' reaction, leading it to receive over thirty. He has also mentioned plans to make Klaus face Shire, an unintroduced character, in a battle. Klaus is voiced by New Zealand voice actor Daniel Wood.
