King Sisyphus is a large, dark skinned middle-aged male with long, black hair with dreadlocks, and a large beard. His eyes are glowing, and covered in molten gold with a white cloth around his face. He was a tyrannical ruler, and would do anything if it was needed to serve Greed layer. It's shown that he would protect his people if needed, even if said methods of doing so were to deceive and murder. Sisyphus also does not show any regret on what has he done, and has accepted his fates for this. When Sisyphus suffered his punishment for several thousand years, he does not feel any sign of remorse, while planning his insurrection. During the war, his devotion that made his warriors be dependent on him was a sign that his insurrection was about to fail, and Sisyphus knew this, taking joy in his inevitable demise from the forces of Heaven. When he was the King of Greed, Sisyphus was punished by Heaven for his sins; with his punishment being one that would break his motivation to continue on by being put through an unending task. Sisyphus would be subjected to this for several millennia and during it, he waited for the time to strike back. After the disappearance of God, the layer of Greed was absent of any observation. During this, Sisyphus secretly planned an rebellion against the forces of Heaven with all Husks of the layer that were brave enough to participate in the attack. While Sisyphus' army was growing and prepared themselves for war, the Council was created and ordered Gabriel and his forces to destroy the insurrection. Gabriel and his angelic army was sent down into the Greed layer, and fought against Sisyphus' army. I'm a mighty, iron-willed ruler with an insatiable thirst for battle. Once, I was a mighty king, although I was locked away to the Layer of Greed in Hell for attempting to cheat death. I've never been one to accept punishment, however, and I formed a revolution against Heaven's authority. Unfortunately, I failed, and I was killed by the archangel Gabriel, and my soul was sealed away in the Flesh Panopticon for millennia. I've waited eagerly for my chance to tear Heaven asunder, and now I'm free.

The Insurrections were then picked one by one by the Council, and removed everything but their left arm and their legs, keeping the bare essentials for their punishment of rolling mankind's monuments up endlessly to continue on. Sisyphus's soul was then confined into the Flesh Panopticon, and was reinforced with a plethora of the forces of Hell.
