As a newborn King was abandoned deep within the Faerie Woodlands by his mother for he was conceived outside of wedlock and she feared for what would be said of her for having a child outside of wedlock. He was luckily taken in by the wild Faerie's of the woodlands who took it upon themselves to raise and care for him. From bathing and feeding him to teaching him to walk and talk.
As he grew he was left to believe himself a faerie as well. Except that is without the ability to change shape and was born without wings. However he was promised by his adoptive family that when he grew a bit older they would teach him ways of overcoming his shortcomings. He was taught at a very young age that Cold Iron was a thing to be feared and that even touching it would cause much pain. Of coarse he believed this because he never once questioned not being a faerie.
When the time came for him to start protecting the woodlands and himself as his family did he was gifted a spear made special for him to help him focus his magical energy and to also perform his duties to the woodlands. After being gifted his weapon they began his teachings in the ways of magic teaching him the ways of shrinking and of flying along with teaching him how to cast spells onto his weapon to use it more effectively in fights when required.
As he got stronger and learned more he began to believe there was a reason he was born so large to his family of faerie's. It had to be because he was a King! He began going around calling himself a king of faerie's while his family began calling him more so a Harlequin over King. But it was with that he took on his name of Harlequin King.
As time passed he would protect the woodlands as his family did and as they taught him to. One day while he was going about his duties to the woodlands he grew very tired and decided to stop for a rest only to fall asleep upon the forest floor for hours on end. He would suddenly be awoken by the sudden need to cough and gasp out for air and the sight he woke to was a horrid one. The woodlands he was meant to protect and care for was in flames all around him thanks to a horde of demons who had decided to pass through and scorch the earth of any and all life.
By the time he began to act the fire had begun to spread and it was not he but his family whom ended the fires advancement through the woodlands. While it was he himself who slay the demon horde passing through. After it was all said and done he was confronted by the faerie's whom asked what had occurred and he told them the truth as he was raised to never lie. He told his family how it was his fault because he had fallen asleep during his duties and if he hadn't then the woodlands would not have gone up in flames and the demons would not have gotten as far or done as much damage as they had.
It was after then that he was magically branded upon his left calf with the brand of a grizzly bear swiping a fish into its mouth to signify his sin to the woodlands. His sin of sloth was not ever forgotten and he was turned away by his family for if he fell asleep once they new it would occur again in the future. He soon left the woodlands he had grown up in and was forced to leave to find a new place to call home or to try and find a way to make it up to his family for his failings.
