King

From the sewers under the city he  strives for dominion over, the insidious King broods and schemes. He  seeks to overthrow the current powers in control and establish a new  control. Rumors spread of his monstrous nature, his devious plots, and  the fear he instills in all who oppose him.

At least, that's  King's intent. He portrays himself as a large, terrifying monster, one  of vanity, greed, and a lust for power. But, it couldn't be further from  the truth. King is actually compassionate, kindhearted, and helpful. He  does what he can to help those in need, often disguising his assistance  as "gifts" and "blessings" to his followers- often destitute folk who  may not even know of his presence. His ulterior goals of upsetting civil  balance: to tear down a corrupt, aristocratic government and establish  new powers in control with more fairness and protections to those  exploited by the current system and other races like gnolls and goblins.

King  on his own is a caring, affectionate individual, willing to put others  before himself. In a setting where he doesn't play the crimelord  revolutionary, he's far more relaxed and laid back. Often sharing lazy  afternoons with company, good food, and indulging in art such as music,  movies, books, and games.

King is what looks like a large rat  but is actually a creature known as a rat-king. A special being that has  powers of dominion and influence. Rat kings can further expand their  power (and increase their size and strength) by absorbing more swarms of  rats through their tail. Or release them later on to free them or  summon them for other purposes.
