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 KingsKing's true name has not been mentioned, the narration of {{C|PRE|1|"Storm King"}} refers to his name as "Storm King".and Itit is unknown if this is his actual name or just a title.

One day while commanding his troops, the Storm King simply decidesdecided to set his sitessights on the kingdom of [[Abyssinia]].

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 [[HippogriffsHippogriff]]s previously, the Storm King hoped that Tempest would be able to infiltrate the city without arousing any suspicion until it was too late. Unfortunately, Novo awoke during her attempted theft of the pearl and roused the [[Royal Guard of Hippogriffia]], who engaged the [[Storm CreaturesCreature]]s sent to back Tempest up. Novo and her people escaped with the pearl, leaving the Storm King greatly displeased.

Tempest convinced the Storm King to give her another chance, informing him about the [[AlicornsAlicorn]]s of Equestria and offering to obtain their magic for him. The Storm King agreed to the deal, but warned Tempest against failing him again. She soon led a successful invasion of [[Canterlot]], and captured three out of the four princesses. When the Storm King contacted her for an update, he expressed his displeasure with the current state of affairs. Tempest explained that his [[Staff of Sacanas]] would enable him to wield the princesses' magic, and asked for a three-day reprieve to get things finalized. The Storm King agreed, but warned her that "your horn won't be the only thing that's broken" if she failed in her mission.

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]]}}'s [[Easy Bake Confetti Cake Cannon]]. The staff became lodged in a stained glass window in the throne room, and the ponies worked quickly to try and retrieve it. The Storm King, incensed, raced to try and get to it first, but was beaten there by Twilight. The window then shattered behind them, and both Twilight and the Storm King were pulled out into the storm.

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 (Mirror-Universe)|Pony of Shadows]], had been too forceful in his tyranny and thus allowed chaotic elements to bring about his downfall.
