Overview
The Clockwork King is a Clockwork archvillain as well as their leader. His true identity and motivations are a mistery, but he hates heroes with a passion. He's suspected to be one of the most powerful psychics in the whole planet, but apparently, he hasn't learned to use his talents yet. Still, his psychic powers seem to manifest when he's in a crisis (such as having his "clockwork princess", Penelope Yin, in danger). There's at least one alternative dimension where this being was able to erradicate all human life of the planet.
Heroes may fight him:
- At the end of the Synapse Task Force, where he's the final enemy.
- During the Lady Grey Task Force, as an ambush during the first mission.
Villains may fight him:
- During the Lady Grey Task Force, as an ambush during the first mission.
Description
During the Synapse Task Force:
The mad Clockwork King imagines himself as the center of a mechanical court. His powerful mind continually creates more subjects to his insane rule. The true horror is that his massive steel chassis holds a human brain.
During The Lady Grey Task Force:
It's been known that the Clockwork King was one of the most powerful psychics on earth, but it took a direct threat to Penelope Yin, his self-adopted "Clockwork Princess", to make him unleash a portion of his immense psychic power. Unfortunately, the strain appears to have driven him even further into insanity.
Quotes
At the end of the Synapse Task Force:
Combat start: Here you are at least, Task Force Name. You are determined, I will say that much for you. I fear, however, that your dodged pursuit will be your downfall. Rise up, my creations, and level our foes!
During the Lady Grey Task Force he has a cutscene:
|
The Clockwork King: Don't worry, Penny! I'm here to protect you! The Clockwork King: I'll keep you safe from everything! The Clockwork King: Safe from villains, from Rikti, from heroes, from boys... The Clockwork King: You'll be my little Clockwork Princess, safe and happy forever! |
At 50% Life: Come to me, my minions! We shall prevail!
At 25% Life: The Clockwork King shall not fail!
Defeated: Are you safe, Penny?
That's good...
That's good...
After defeating a player: So falls all enemies of the Clockwork Kingdom!
