King (Type-0)

King is a playable character in Final Fantasy Type-0, and one of the main characters of the same game. He is attributed the number 13 in Class Zero.

Appearance and Personality
King is a man with long blond hair. He wears the standard uniform of Class Zero, but his jacket is noticeably shorter. Although he appears cold, he is actually a person with a kind heart. Apparently he trains everyday.

He is a very serious man with strong common sense, as seen in the demo when he questions Byakko's thoughtlessness after they accept Cid Aulstyne as their new leader when their emperor disappears without objection.

Story
King is a young man who is a member of Class Zero, a group of students from the Peristylium Suzaku, the Magic Academy of the nation of Rubrum, that fight the invasion of Rubrum by the Milites Empire. As part of the resistance operation "Operation Apostle", he and his comrades seek to become the Agito, a messiah prophesied in ancient mythology to appear at the time of Finis, an apocalyptic calamity.

Battle
King wields dual guns in battle. As such, he has an incredible range in battle, but his ammo must be reloaded after a set number of shots that increases through ability leveling. In comparison to Ace and Cater, King's basic attack has more range, less power and homing and strikes more quickly. Although King's movement is slower, he is able to dodge whilst attacking, effectively cancelling out his attack to avoid damage, a feat that both Ace and Cater are incapable of performing. He can also use a kick that deals moderate damage to downed enemies.

His Special Attack is Powered Bullet, which deals major damage to nearby enemies. Magazine Bomb has King firing several explosive shots at an enemy.

Etymology
The "King" is one of the cards in a suit of a traditional set of playing cards (called trumps in Japan).
