The Suicide King

The Suicide King is the final and most well known of the three. The Suicide King is primarily known for offering shady deals and engaging in bets with mortals for their soul. The Suicide King exists as an immortal spirit that inhabits a monstrous body made from possessed corpses. Due to his vanity and pride, he hides his hideous form under elaborate clothing and carnival masks. Though his inner foulness is well hidden beneath his outer, more jovial appearance, it occasionally seeps through and reveals itself. 

The Suicide King is driven by a love for life and a the simple desire to enjoy himself. In his heart he cherishes freedom, something he fiercely protects. He wishes to help people to be free and despises those who seek to control others. Those who follow him, either by choice or after having lost a bet, exist as deathless spirits inhabiting vessels of rotting flesh and hide their horrific forms under elaborate clothing and masks. Despite his façade of confidence, underneath he is very self-conscious and is very sensitive about his appearance, never letting anyone see passed the mask in case they don't like what they see. 



The Suicide King was once a mortal man who loved life so much that even after death, he refused to let the grisly reaper take him. Desperate to escape the fate of all mortals before him, he challenged Death to a bet, which was accepted. An impossible task was given to him and if he could complete it, he would win his immortal soul. Death was certain that victory would be his but Fate, taking a liking to the Suicide King and wishing to spite Death, intervened and the Suicide King won his soul.  Feeling cheated, Death chases the Suicide King to this day, waiting for his opportunity to take back what is rightfully his.
