* Dialogue

**King Tuba II** is the tyrannical king of the Brass Empire and the central antagonist of *Tuba Warriors*.

## Appearance

King Tuba II wields a royal scepter and sword and is surrounded by Tubas, which he commands through his Symphonic Resonance. He wears a full suit of Orchestral Brass Armor and is almost always seen with bodyguards by his side. King Tuba II moves in a strange, stiff manner, which is believed to be due to effects from the Cacophony that he has used to gain power. King Tuba II is extremely well-bodied due to his cacophonic powers.

## Personality

King Tuba II has a cruel, merciless personality. He has nothing but hatred for anyone who he can't use to help achieve his goal of taking over Orchestria. His personality is so malevolent that certain members his own staff contemplate trying to assassinate him, although none of them are brave or skilled enough to do it. He has no remorse for the dead and no qualms about using underhanded methods to achieve his goals. This ruthless nature is caused by the Cacophony corrupting King Tuba II, which has manipulated the monarch into believing that his actions are the only way to bring peace to Orchestria.

Before he was infected by Cacophony, King Tuba II's personality was kind and gentle, almost a polar opposite of how he acts in the events of *Tuba Warriors*. However, it was King Tuba II's desire to rid Orchestria of violence that caused him to embrace Cacophony in the first place, as he believed that the effects of Cacophony would give him the power and strength needed to bring order to Orchestria. His desires were heard, but not in the way he expected.

## History

Historically, Orchestria had seen many wars and conflicts. King Tuba II was once a good, kind king who wanted nothing more to stop the endless battles his people had been exposed and accustomed to. But after discovering the mysterious force of Cacophony, the Brass Kingdom was thrown into chaos yet again. As he and his court innocently researched this new discovery, they never realized that they were slowly being corrupted just by being near it. Dangerous and delusional ambitions began to awaken within them. Dreams of ending the war through peaceful measures suddenly seemed foolish and naive, while thoughts of conquest and control became obvious, even desirable. King Tuba II's wish to protect his people had twisted into wanting them to be seen as above all, while he himself could stand atop Orchestria as their god. Eventually, King Tuba II would fully embrace Cacophony, meaning that instead of turning into a Cacophony Demon, he would instead sacrifice his mind to a life of disharmony and discord in order to ironically gain the powers necessary to bring order to Orchestria.

The king began recruiting an unstoppable military, the Brass Army, to conquer Orchestria, though it is comprised of many uncertain individuals. Some fight due to the Cacophony's subtle influence on their minds, while others participate because of a sense of duty and loyalty to their king, including his younger brother, Tuba Archmage. The few who are courageous enough to rebel, such as Fallen Tuba Hero and Tuba Knight, were quickly punished. Other rebelling members of the Brass Army, such as the Brass Renegade, Tuba Paladin, and French Horn Soldier fled the empire to create their own rebel groups, in an effort to stand against the king's tyranny. King Tuba II would go on to start the Tuba Wars.

King Tuba II also lead countless experiments to improve his empire's might, ruining the lives of many and leading to the creation of numerous terrifying beasts under his command. He would either convince or force people such as Tuba Wizard, Tuba Scientist, and Tuba High Priest to create war machines, weapons, and dangerous creatures for him. As his cacophonic powers grew, so too would the might of the Brass Army. He would go on to create the Tuba Legion, an elite group of tubaists led directly by the king himself. In King Tuba II's twisted mind, these were the steps that he needed to take in order to bring peace to Orchestria, as it would only be peaceful once he ruled it with an iron grip.

As his complete domination of Orchestria progressed, a destined hero arose to end his ambitions, the Maestro. This would be the point where the events of *Tuba Warriors* begin. When King Tuba II realized what Maestro could mean for him should they be allowed to train and prepare, he decided to order Tuba High Priest to send mercenaries and hitmen, such as Tuba Assassin, Tuba Sniper, and Tuba Bounty Hunter after him. The king himself would also send his own warriors to be on lookout for Maestro specifically. However, King Tuba II refused to act scared of Maestro in public, as he believed that it would make him look weak. As Maestro survived through encounter after encounter, King Tuba II would get more and more desperate, sending out entire legions to find and destroy him.
