Biography

Colorless King (Japanese: 無色の王, Hepburn: Mushiki no Ō) was a being that came to exist in the modern age. He became the new Seventh King after the death of the former holder who was Ichigen Miwa. He became a highly chaotic, power-hungry entity who ruled as the Seventh King of Japan’s King system.Upon gaining his power, he learnt he could possess other people and take over their bodies which he began to exploit with him taking various hosts. However, he came to realise the repercussions of using this power when he began to forget his own identity as those of his host bodies mixed with his own mind. Driven by an intense inferiority complex and an obsession with absolute dominance, his central ambition was to trigger an all-out war among the other Kings so he could assassinate them, absorb their distinct powers, and reign as the ultimate ruler of the world. He intentionally recorded the execution on a video camera while framing a young student to ignite a violent conflict between the Red and Blue Clans. Around this time, Nagare Hisui approached the figure who was now known as the Colorless King who became horrified at the price of his power. The Green King offered a suggestion to the Colorless King namely to be the strongest of the Kings and the only one left. Thus, this led to the Colorless King believing that he would be free of his suffering if he simply eliminated the other Kings and took their power. By this point, he also took on the suggestion of using a fox mask as his new face as he embarked on his plan to attain this power. He went through a multitude of hosts before finally possessing Tōru Hieda where he murdered Tatara Totsuka with the death being filmed. Afterwards, the Colorless King decided to confront the Silver King leading to a meeting with Adolf K. Weismann on board his floating airship the Himmelreich. His calculated plot to manipulate the global balance of power ultimately collapsed when Weismann, inhabiting a temporary host body, outsmarted him. During this encounter, he used his ability in order to swiftly take over the Silver King's body but Adolf's unique power prevented his ability of the King from being taken by the Colorless King and caused his soul to be swapped into Hieda's body in turn. The Colorless King then decided in his new host body to dispose of Weismann who was thrown from the airship.

He later had a talk with Daikaku Kokujōji who believed that Japan was coming to an end though in response the Colorless King simply laughed in excitement over the thought. Later, while aboard the Himmelreich, he dances with a limp, masked woman, presumably a doll of some sort, inside a spacious room. While dancing, images of Yashiro Isana appear on the floor with each step he takes. The Colorless King soon finishes the dance and the doll stands lifeless beside him. He thinks aloud wondering why 'this' has happened. He is eventually contacted by the Blue King Reisi Munakata and is requested to land the Himmelreich so that he can negotiate with their forces. However, the Colorless King ignores the request, forcing them to take up their helicopters so as to confront him directly. As he watches the helicopters fly around the aircraft, he comments on how he must celebrate with his 'guests', taking the masked doll from his couch and sharing another ballroom dance with her, this time with images of the Scepter 4 helicopters appearing on the floor. Once done, he lets her fall to the ground and tells the Blue Clansmen to come closer, laughing wickedly in delight. The Colorless King eventually readies himself with a button and presses it, causing the Himmelreich to explode and engulf itself in flames. As the aircraft slowly plummets to the ground, it is struck near the left engine by a helicopter under Yashiro Isana's supervision, causing both vehicles to explode in the air, leaving behind a silver, star-like figure in the night sky. By morning, the crisped remains of the Himmelreich have crashed within Tokyo Metropolis. At some point following, Adolf K. Weismann's unscathed corpse is discovered among the rubble by Gold Clansmen and he was brought to their headquarters, where he was subsequently placed inside an oval-shaped coffin.

Overview

Personality and attributes

In appearance, the Colorless King often took the form of a fox mask where his true form was unknown even to himself. His true form was a small, white, fox-like entity whose appearance was largely obscured by his self-perception. This creature possessed a small, rounded body with stubbed arms and legs, and a long, thick white tail. Its head featured slanted, red eyes and pointed ears that angled upward. Dark lines circled its eyes, and an array of distinct red markings adorned its face, including two on each cheek, four above each eye, and a cross-like insignia on its forehead. Due to its loss of identity, the entity came to regard a prominent, unsettling fox mask as its actual 'face', which it often wore when possessing host bodies such as that of a high school student or the Silver King, Adolf K. Weismann. At times, its physical manifestation was even less defined, appearing simply as a long, white, wispy form that could change its size. This was because he had long lost his own identity due to the amount of personalities he had taken over the years. As such, he could no longer remember his own face and came to think of the fox mask as being his actual 'face'. He claimed to go under the title of the Seventh King (第七王権者, Dai Nana Ō Ken-sha) and was also called the Man in the Fox Mask (キツネの仮面の男).

He was shown as being a highly arrogant and egotistical person where he boasted of his power to those he deemed weaker than himself. The Colorless King was shown to be an ambitious person who thought of himself as the most powerful of the Kings and that he should be the only one which was why he sought the elimination of the others. He came to believe that he should consume the powers of the other Kings which he would take for himself.

The Colorless King was an ambitious person who, accordingly to his already-arrogant nature, believes himself to be a powerful King and that he should be the only one, as he does not believe that there should be seven. Furthermore, he is rather sadistic, often smiling a wide and abnormally twisted grin when excited about something. He laughed at the fact that Japan could be brought to its end.

He had a profound, multifaceted malice that manifested as a total disregard for the sanctity of individual identity. Unlike the other Kings of the Dresden Slate, who typically fostered bonds of loyalty or order with their clansmen, this entity operated as a parasitic force that viewed every other soul merely as a potential vessel to be violated and discarded. His personality was stripped of any lingering noble traits, replaced instead by a frantic, narcissistic obsession with usurping the power of his peers to become the "True King" who would reign supreme over all others. This arrogance was paired with a cruel sense of playfulness; he took visible delight in the psychological torment of his victims, often laughing hysterically as he manipulated events from behind the scenes to sow discord among the Red and Blue Clans. Even as his own sense of self began to erode due to the constant jumping between hosts—leaving him a fragmented, hysterical shadow of a man—his fundamental drive remained a ruthless egoism that compelled him to treat the entire world as a chaotic playground for his own ascent to godhood.

The Colorless King was characterized by a pervasive, frantic cowardice that stood in stark contrast to the stoic dignity of the other Seven Kings. Rather than leading a clan or facing his enemies with the authority of his station, he operated as a parasitic opportunist who lurked in the shadows of the subconscious, preferring to strike from within the safety of another person's stolen body. This fundamental insecurity manifested as a desperate, shrill need to diminish those greater than himself, as he lacked the internal strength to build his own legacy and instead sought to destroy the foundations of others. His cowardice was further reflected in his fragmented psyche; as he hopped from host to host to evade capture, he discarded his own original memories and identity, becoming a hollow, screeching shell that feared its own insignificance above all else. This defensive mechanism turned him into a chaotic nihilist, someone who would rather see the entire world descend into a mindless 'King’s War' than face the reality of his own hollow existence.

It was said that the Colorless King had lost his sense of identity after possessing so many hosts. Thus, he was shown to have random conversations with himself switching between the various personas. Because he had spent centuries violently stealing the bodies and minds of countless other individuals, he suffered from profound memory loss and completely forgot what his original human face looked like. As a direct result of this identity crisis, he began treating a traditional, menacing Japanese fox mask as his actual countenance, projecting it over his hosts.

The Colorless King was a very sly and crafty individual who appeared to be unfair and even cruel. He showed absolutely no remorse over hurting or killing innocent people especially children.

Powers and abilities

The Colorless King's most fearsome and central ability was a parasitic form of possession that transcended mere physical control; it was an act of insidious identity theft and assimilation. This power allowed him to completely overwrite the consciousness of a victim, entering their body and absorbing their memories, knowledge, and even their unique auras and abilities into his own fractured mind. The process was activated when his true spirit form made eye contact with a suitable host. Once inside, he became a perfect mimic, capable of assuming their physical appearance, voice, and behavioral quirks, making him nearly impossible to detect among friends or foes. This was not a temporary state; the original owner's identity was effectively erased, and the King would move from host to host, leaving a trail of empty shells. This continuous cycle of absorption was central to his character, as he eventually lost all memory of his own original identity and came to view a simple fox mask as his true 'face', a physical manifestation of his profound, self-inflicted identity crisis. He sought to use this power to possess all the other Kings, a belief that 'eating' their powers would make him the sole and ultimate power in the world.

The Colorless King possessed a highly unpredictable, dangerous suite of supernatural traits that completely contrasted with the stable energy signatures of the other Six Kings. While his raw physical combat strength was considered the weakest among his peers, his primary power was spiritual body-snatching, which allowed his wispy form to forcefully invade and possess any individual who let their guard down. When he successfully hijacked a target, he not only gained total control over their physical movements, but he could also weaponise and use the innate psychic powers and unique traits of his host. His core defensive and offensive element was a clear-black translucent colored Aura, which he could channel to shrug off direct attacks and project concentrated kinetic force. Furthermore, his presence was completely undetectable to advanced magical detection methods, allowing him to bypass secure territory and hide inside a host's mind while slowly eroding their memories. When operating as a spectral parasite, his form could lose all physical definition entirely, shifting into a fluid, long, translucent white wisp of energy that could expand or contract in size.

He gained the ability to possess the bodies of other people leaving the former ones behind. Through an emotional connection and eye contact, his spirit could leave his body across great distances and enter the body of another person. He could accomplish this through eye contact or even accomplish it over distances such as through a telephone. The process saw him absorbing elements of the personality of the new host which he retained after leaving that body. A result of this power meant that changing bodies constantly caused him to forget his own sense of identity. Through body possession, he believed he could claim the power of another King and consume it for himself. However, he was shown to struggle against Kings that used their power to resist his efforts. This was shown when he tried to take over the Red King who used his ability to force the Colorless King to flee. In another instance, he tried to claim the Silver King's power but Weismann's ability and soul could not be taken by this power.
