Character Information

History

In the world of Prydain, a once evil king ruled over the world with a iron fist of darkness. However his rule of tyranny came to an end as his very evil was sealed away for all eternity into what would become known as the Black Cauldron.

For years upon years, Individuals rose in his place. They all were seeking the Dark Cauldron, but all of them had failed. None of them could find its where-about. That was until a very mysterious and very powerful sorcerer rose from the shadows of Prydain. He was simply known as the Horned King.

This very man who sold away his flesh, his living soul, to become something that could not be destroyed easily, to become something that could stand amongst mortal men and make them cower before him. He gave away it all to become what some would simply know as a Lich. All so he could gain the ultimate power and his first steps to his way to godhood. His first task he unleashed upon the world was the creations of war. The Horned King destroyed all in his path. He enslaved men, women, and children. Burned villages and forests. None was safe from his dark hand. All to find the Dark Cauldron.

His dark deeds were spoken loudly on the wind. His name became a fear among all, even those of the fairy folk and mystical creatures of Prydain. Then all those who stood before him, all those who believed they could defeat them. Soon found their dead bodies among many down in the Horned King's dark keep. Waiting for the day to become part of his army of undead.

Yet there were those who would seek him out, not for destruction, but for the lust of power. These men become his living henchman and his warriors that also moved along his side to continue the dark war further and further until no place was safe from the Horned King. For if his men did not find you, the loyal Gwythaints would.

However when dark times come, a warrior of light will be born. A young boy who served his life as a pig keeper to a miracles pig that could see things by mystic arts. This very boy had the brave heart, foolish courage, and believed that he he could defeat the Horned King. Yet it was to not be so. The boy was used, tricked, and watched by the Horned King. Even closer when he escaped from the castle with the Princess of heart in hand. Though it was through this very act did everything the boy planned backfired upon him.

For soon enough the young warrior of light lead the Horned King right to the Cauldron and then to the very destruction of their world of Prydain. For the Horned King locked them all together to watch as the very dark deeds unfold. As the undead army came to life to rain death upon the world and heartless were summoned also from the depths of the Cauldron to create more heartless by those the undead left behind. The undead only seeking life however, while the heartless though were seeking the very World Heart, which they found soon enough.

The Horned King could have stopped the Heartless. But instead, he let the heartless continue their wave of destruction as he called back in his undead minions. Leaving behind the young boy, the old minstrel, and what little remained of his world of Prydain. With Cauldron , his faithful minion creeper, and his mass of undead horde. He snatched the Princess and then left the world to allow it to complete fall to darkness. As he made deal with Maleficent for some of the knowledge on darkness, he handed over the young Princess to her and became an official member of the Shadow Lords.

Soon his dreams would become a reality, for Prydain was only a stepping stone, the rest of the worlds was his true victory to his way to godhood.

Personality

The Horned King is known as a man of great evil and a soul that is pure dark. He has no love for life and he has no desire for even things that could bring normal men simple join. In all accounts, because of his desire to become a god, he has sold away his mortal soul to become a being of undeath himself; to become a lich and it reflects upon his personality.

Yet in his dislike for the living and those who refuse to bow before his might, he is also know fool. He remembers how the living think. He remembers how easy they are to twist and to corrupt for either riches, power, or even lust. He remembers that those of strong light in their hearts tend to perform heroics acts, which can be turned against them. He has no problem with stealing a hostage and using them to goat the heroes into a trap. He doesn't have a problem with killing women, children, or even things that most people could never destroy. He is cold, he is cruel, and he is unforgiving.

The Horned King is also driven. Very driven. He has a goal set. A dream that he strives to obtain and no matter what may happen around him by his actions, he will obtain that dream. He will find the means to become a god among mortal men. To rise above them all and have them worship him, or he will let them become part of his undead army, if that so be their wish. He will even destroy their worlds, if that is what it takes. Yet it should not be said that on his march to such power, he isn't willing to work with other Shadow Lords of his type. He knows that Hades is a god of the underworld, that Maleficent desires to rule over all worlds, and that each Shadow Lord has a goal in mind. Once again, he is no fool. There are advantages after all in working with others of equal greatness, even those who who could be for now even greater. Because sometimes, like he did with the pig boy and his long hunt for the Cauldron.

Sometimes all that is needed is patience and being he is immortal, he has all the patience in the world to give. Yet it doesn't mean he can't help move things along though and sometimes, its just fun to watch things unfold when you tip over the right block.
