Appearance and personality[edit]
Story arc[edit]
Torna ~ The Golden Country[edit]
When the party learns that Malos wants to steal Torna's seal, they hurry to Auresco in order to warn the king about it. When they get to the Aureus Palace the Tornan King thanks Hugo for facilitating aid from the Ardainian forces, and gives Addam and the party permission to travel throughout Torna's borders. Right after the party leaves the palace, Zettar, the king's brother, challenges him for his recent decision. The king responds that Addam would make for a much better king than him.
After Malos steals Torna's seal, Addam asks for a conference with his father to ask permission to travel with his allies to the Tornan Titan Interior. Zettar refuses and gets mad at Addam (mostly because of his resentment against him), but the Tornan King disagrees with Zettar and expresses gratitude to Addam and his allies for wanting to protect the Kingdom of Torna. Additionally, he offers to knight Lora in recognition of her efforts. Not much later, he is seen at the ceremony of Lora's knighthood.
After Mythra defeats Malos, the Tornan King watches in shock at his kingdom being destroyed. While Zettar urges him to flee, the Tornan King refuses, preferring to die alongside his kingdom like a proper king would do. He dies when he is crushed by the falling rubble of the Aureus Palace.
Lore[edit]
- In his younger days, the Tornan King was a military officer who led Torna to many military victories.[1]
- At some point, he became the king of the Kingdom of Torna and took residence in Auresco, in Aureus Palace, with his brother Zettar, his wife (unnamed and not shown in the game), and two unnamed other blood relatives.
- During one of his military campaigns, the king had an affair with an "ordinary farming girl", Addam's mother. [2]
- The king was never able to have a child with his wife. Moreover, the birth of Addam from another woman damaged their relationship, complicating the matter even more. Due to this inability, one night, while in front of his retainers, he made the decision to summon Addam back to the mainland.[2]
Trivia[edit]
- He bares a striking resemblance to Khan Wong in Xenogears.
- In Japanese, the Tornan King is voiced by Shigeru Ushiyama, who also voices Eulogimenos in Xenoblade Chronicles 2.
