Some spoilers from S1 in the description so be cautious.

Other BBB Characters

The King of Despair is laid back, cunning, and deeply manipulative. He has little respect for others and enjoys twisting people’s emotions against themselves.

He is not loud or theatrical in the same way as some of the other Kings. His menace comes from calm confidence, emotional cruelty, and the way he treats suffering as something to observe and exploit.

He sees the world as a game, and other people as pieces on a board.
