Desert King

The Desert King is the king of the desert people. His rule has lasted for several decades, replacing generations of desert kings before him. He is the sovereign ruler of the entire desert, and any word he utters instantly becomes law.

However, the Desert King has not spoken in many years. He seems to be tired of everyone taking everything he says so literally. The last time he spoke, he declared that his son, the Desert Prince, would succeed him as Desert King, and would have the authority to speak for the king in all matters whatsoever.

The king was a follower of Toorr before becoming silent, and it was under his jurisdiction that the desert people trained themselves to become warriors, despite having never been attacked.

The Desert King dwells in his royal tent, enjoys playing patty-cake with the Royal Toddler, and communicates with his family by gesturing and occasionally grunting. The grunts are not considered law, because they are not words.

When The Turbaned One visits the desert people, the Desert King makes a point of meeting him and hearing his tales, though he does not seem to believe a word he says, making rude faces and gestures the entire time.

When the Desert King goes outside of the royal tent, he is usually accompanied by the Golden Knight as well as several Golden Warriors.
