The King rules the kingdom of Xanadu and is Princess Rielle's father. During an assault on the kingdom led by an evil wizard commanding monstrous forces, the King suffers a violent death when a spiked ball and chain weapon obliterates his upper body. This event occurs before the main narrative unfolds. Protagonists Fieg and Rielle witness the King's demise through a magical vision that explicitly details the attack's brutality. The vision propels them to seek the Dragon Slayer sword and challenge those responsible for the King's murder. His death serves as the catalyst motivating the protagonists' quest.
