In the 2003 anime, he was voiced by Seizi kaitou in the japanese dub, and by Vic Mignogna in the English dub, while not actually speaking in the 2017 anime.
Personality[]
His main personality trait is his sadism, enslaving and forcing people into fighting until death just for his own amusement.
Biography[]
When he was a child, he was mistreated by his father, which while a good and benevolent ruler, was still abusive toward his son. Then, when the prince was tired of being mistreated, he killed the king and ended up becoming the new king himself, which was his first moment of joy in his life.
In the 2003 anime, he ends up killing his own wife, who was afraid of the king possibly killing his own children. In the 2017 anime his wife actually committed suicide instead of being murdered by the king.
