### TV series

Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure

**King Edmund** is the last Dark King of the uninhabitable Dark Kingdom and the father of Eugene Fitzherbert, whom he and his late wife had named Horace.

A quarter of a century ago, his wife and queen had perished from the supreme dark powers of the ancient and almighty Moonstone but not before she gave birth to their only child; a son whom he had sent away for safety, as did all of his subjects.

## Background

25 years ago, King Edmond ruled the Dark Kingdom with his beloved wife and queen until her tragic demise due exposure of the Moonstone's supreme destructive power. In the aftermath, he had ordered his subjects to leave and never return, even his newborn child whom he entrusted to a handmaiden.

### Physical Appearance

Just like his long-lost son, Eugene, he has dark brown hair, a smolder, mustache and tan skin.

## History

When his kingdom came overrun with the black rocks, he tried to destroy the opal in hopes that it would stop the rocks, but when it failed he ordered Quirin and Adira to leave and keep others from finding what remained of their home.

### Season Two

His loyal subject Hector, member of the Brotherhood, had informed Rapunzel and her allies of King Edmund and his desire to keep the immense dark power of the Moonstone hidden from the world, which proved a failure when it was taken and merged with Cassandra.
