King Xarion, also known as King Viktor, was the monarch of Zarkovia.
Appearance[]
King Xarion's had the appearance of an old man. He had white hair and was partly bald. He wore a red coat with fur and three golden crosses on each side. He also wore a green shirt, black pants and boots.
In Omniverse, he was shown to mostly be the same, except his hair was longer and he had a crooked nose. His skin had paler color, and has some liver spots on his face. His back was more hunched, and his attire now consisted of a purple robe with orange trim and pale brown clothing underneath, with a dark brown midsection.
Personality[]
At first glance King Xarion seemed like a kind and gentle king who cared about his kingdom and seeked peaceful methods. However, his true personality has been shown to be that of a cruel and heartless tyrant who would crush anyone who stands in his way. He also had no love for his son, Gyula, and he tried to murder him upon being reborn as King Viktor.
History[]
Ultimate Alien[]
Inhabitation of Viktor's body
In Viktor: The Spoils, King Xarion contacted Ben Tennyson to help him to stop his son Prince Gyula from using the brain-dead body of Dr. Viktor. After Ben and his team were defeated, he was overthrown by his son and thrown into the dungeon. Gwen then let him go, but he betrayed her and kidnapped Ben for experimentation. He died when his son shut off his machine's power as he was hooked up to a mind-transfer device, albeit simply transferring his mind to Dr. Viktor's body, making him King Viktor. He then revealed that he had planned to crush the rebels all along, and was just waiting for the right moment. After taunting Gyula and rendering him unconscious, he departed, and attacked the rebels himself.
King Xarion was later beaten by Ben, Gwen, and Kevin, who trapped him in hardened molten metal. However, he could not be arrested, seeing as actions within that country undertaken by humans are regarded as out of Plumber jurisdiction (regardless of the fact that Xarion had been inhabiting an alien criminal's body). Xarion threatened Ben and his team with revenge, but was ignored by them.
Omniverse[]
In Rad Monster Party, King Xarion appeared in a flashback where his consciousness fought with Zs'Skayr when he entered Dr. Viktor's body. Upon being overpowered by the Ectonurite, he vanished, and the original mind of Dr. Viktor returned.
