The Pale King

The Pale King is the god-like ruler and creator of Hallownest, a mythical Wyrm who overthrew the Radiance to found his eternal kingdom. He was responsible for much of Hallownest's infrastructure, like the Stagways and Trams, and fathered the Vessels, including the player character, to contain the light-based Infection caused by the forgotten Radiance. His attempts to seal the Infection became increasingly desperate.
