The Monkey King

Witty, intelligent, charismatic and threatening all at once, The Monkey King is a tremendously large ape, belonging to an unknown species. The Monkey King keeps his dealings shrouded from the outside world, except for that which he wishes for others to know. Found deep in the jungle of Jalapatna, The Monkey King makes his home inside the crumbling ruins of Mahidwani, the lost city.

Wholly fluent in many human languages, The Monkey King has a curious fascination with human culture. While many of his subjects (known collectively as The Vanara) are monkeys or other lesser primates, The Monkey King is not adverse to adopting or abducting young children and raising them inside the crumbling ruins that he makes his home.

Despite his fearsome reputation, The Monkey King is a benevolent and wise ruler. He ensures that all of his subjects are fed, regardless of species - and is swift to crush any sort of hierarchy developing amongst the different species. Everyone of the subjects of The Monkey King is equal, and all must respect The King.
