Biography[]
King is believed to be the most senior member of the current roster of independent mercenaries of the hacktivist organization Branch. He played a pivotal role in the breaching of the Closure System during a raid on LOC Station 31, where he performed a solo diversionary maneuver on a fleet of PCA warships during the attack, allowing for the other members of Branch to deal the decisive blow on Station 31.
In an alternative scenario, King along with Chartreuse and the original Raven stage a raid on the Gallia Dam Complex, but are defeated by C4-621.

Trivia[]
- The VE-60LCA Triple Laser Cannon is unique to King's ASTER CROWN in the AC Data presets. This may indicate that the weapon design was stolen by Branch along with the VE-42B airborne tank legs (unique to Chartreuse's UMBER OX).
- King's English voice actor Kyle Hebert also voices Otsdarva/Maximilian Thermidor in Armored Core: For Answer.
