King Franchesco Chench rules the kingdom of Balgogne. He has a bald head and white eyes. After years of war, he declared rape legal to produce more soldiers, a decision driven by his desire for conquest and the goal of subjugating the entire continent. He entered a political marriage with Lady Beatrice, a princess of Arleon, as part of a truce to avoid war, but he betrayed the agreement and conquered her homeland. This was his sixteenth marriage; he had each of his fifteen previous wives murdered once he grew tired of them. He placed no significance on his union with Lady Beatrice, as his plans to invade Arleon were already set. His rule and conduct show a willingness to use any means to achieve his aims, demonstrating a complete absence of moral boundaries.
