The former King of the Koopas was a very, very cruel ruler.
He controlled the Darklands with an iron fist, and anyone who opposed him was swiftly dealt with.
The people lived in fear of him and would do anything to keep him in a good mood.
He had two children: Bowser, and a brother whose name is never to be mentioned.
He was always extremely rude to others and showed absolutely no mercy.
When Azure landed in the Darklands, she was discovered and brought before the King. He saw her as nothing more than a glorified babysitter he could use to keep Bowser in line, so he forced her to work for him in that role, unaware that this would one day become the greatest mistake he ever made.
