The King is a very welcoming kind of fellow, wants everyone to be happy in his Kingdom, and yet maintains his regal style. The gold crown doesn't hurt, of course. He thinks of himself as a benevolent despot, much prefers granting his subjects' wishes over throwing them into dungeons. He wishes it were otherwise, but he has had to send a few stalwarts, including the Court Magician and The Hunter, out to do battle with a Devious Dragon and the Hippopotamus Maximus.
Since the Queen passed away, he has doted on his daughters (see The Princess) to the point of foolishness. However, the tricky thing about being the King is that few people will tell you when you are being foolish. This is why they have actual Fools in Courts (and I'm not talking about certain lawyers I've met).
The King is a great fan of the arts in many forms, has enjoyed The Lion King, The Return of the King, King of Hearts, The Fisher King, King Kong and King Creole, just for starters.
He says that Larry King is not an actual King, but is a pretender to the throne.
He loves the music of Louis Armstrong and King Oliver.
He agrees with The Chef and Mario Batali that Parmigiano Reggiano is the King of Cheeses, perhaps the gratest King of all.
