The '''Storm King''' was the 'conqueror of a dozen lands', who served as the driving force in the [[Storm Wars]] which destroyed an untold number of kingdoms throughout the world.

==History==
{{
===Background===
Much like the rest of Equestria and beyond, the Storm Kings age is vague. He appears to be somewhat youthful, given his tongue and cheek sense of humor and energetic demeanor, but has apparently been warmongering for quite some time. The Storm
===Destroyer of a Dozen Lands===
Line 28 ⟶ 138:
Described as a conqueror and destroyer, the Storm King is an experienced warlord who "conquered a dozen lands, and destroyed a dozen more". Cruel and vicious, the Storm King puts on the guise of appearing at least somewhat affable in the presence of his soldiers and who would be his victims, but can perform unthinkable acts on anyone he so wishes at any time with no remorse.
One day while commanding his troops, the Storm King simply
===Sacking of Panthera===
Line 47 ⟶ 157:
The Storm King's forces eventually tracked down the malachite, only for it to be stolen from them by a [[unicorn]] from [[Equestria]]. Impressed by her resourcefulness, the Storm King set out to find both her and the malachite, though accounts differ as to how they eventually met in [[Bleak Valley]]. By one account, the Storm King attacked a caravan with which she was traveling, and found her after she tricked [[Rambler]] into serving as her decoy.<ref>{{C|PRE|4|"Tempest of Equestria"}}</ref> According to another, the unicorn wandered into the valley alone and met Grubber, who led her on to the Storm King. In either case, the Storm King persuaded her to hand over the Misfortune Malachite and serve as his second-in-command in exchange for his restoring her broken horn.
Having seen the destruction left in the path of the malachite, the Storm King crushed it, before tasking his new lieutenant-who introduced herself as [[Tempest Shadow]]-a mission. Still in search of magic to make himself more powerful, he ordered her to travel to [[Hippogriffia]] and steal the [[Pearl of Transformation]] from [[Queen Novo]]. Having had altercations with the [[
Tempest convinced the Storm King to give her another chance, informing him about the [[
===Power of the four alicorns===
Line 56 ⟶ 166:
At this point, Tempest pleaded with the Storm King to restore her horn as promised, vowing to use her magic in his service. Enamored of his new power, the Storm King had little regard for her offer or her previous faithful service, revealing that he had manipulated her in order to get what he wanted. Having no further use for Tempest, he attacked her, only for her to counter with her own destructive magic. The blast knocked them both backwards, but the Storm King quickly recovered and zeroed in on Tempest and Twilight, the princess having decided to help her captor.
Before he could attack again, however, the Storm King was himself struck by Twilight's friends, who had breached the storm using {{FIM|Pinkie Pie
===Death and postmortem===
Twilight, having retained her hold on the staff, was able to dissipate the storm and returned to her friends safely. However, the Storm King had managed to grab onto the balcony where they had been standing, and readied an [[obsidian orb]] for use on the ponies. Tempest saw his actions and rushed in, taking the hit and then charging her former master as the transformative smoke was unleashed. Petrified by his own attack, the Storm King fell to the ground below and shattered into multiple pieces, his final expression one of horrified shock. The shards were later inexpertly assembled by one of the Storm Creatures, with the eyes showing some signs of continued life.<ref>''[[My Little Pony: The Movie (2017 film)|My Little Pony: The Movie]]'' credits</ref>
Though gone, the Storm King was far from forgotten, with Tempest in particular finding it hard to forget her old master. She later set out to spread word of his defeat and help repair the damage he had done, and was later moved to put the skills she had learned under him to use as one of the [[Nightmare Knights]]. His defeat was among the various feats attributed to Twilight Sparkle and her friends, though [[Gallus|some]] were skeptical as to how they had accomplished it. Illusions of the Storm King and his minions were also conjured by the [[Tree of Harmony]] to test [[Silverstream (Hippogriff)|Silverstream]], and by [[Princess Eris]] in her bid to convince Capper to help her defeat the Nightmare Knights. While pretending to be allied with her, Capper noted that the Storm King, like her [[Stygian (
==Appearance==
The Storm King appears to be a vaguely ape or monkey like animal with snow white fur and a dark, grey face. His eyes are a distinct green-blue. The Storm King is very tall, taller then most other anthropomorphic/humanoid figures, which compliments his incredible strength and intimating aura. He wears black [[Storm King's armor|armor]], and appears to have horns and/or a crown atop his head.

* '''Superhuman Speed:''' Although not gone over, the Storm King was inhumanly fast, able to attack Captain Celano—who could dodge sudden lightning bolts out of nowhere—before she could even react.
