King
The King (王, Ō?) of a mysterious lost civilization in Europe who became the first Kamen Rider OOO (先代仮面ライダーオーズ, Sendai Kamen Raidā Ōzu?) 800 years ago. Unlike Eiji, the King was a man with a ball of desire (欲望の塊, Yokubō no Katamari?) who desired godhood. To that end, the King commissioned Gara and three other alchemists to create the Greeed for the purpose of achieving his goal to become a god through the Core Medals. However, because of his desire, the king's mind was warped by the power he sought before he was completely overwhelmed while using the powers of all the Core Medals at once, thus turning his body into a stone coffin which sealed the Greeed. Even though he failed, his only known descendant, Kousei Kougami, attempts to finish the job in the present through Eiji Hino.
The OOO Driver and the O Scanner that the king used had a more deeper and distorted voice unlike the ones used by Eiji in the present. The King also had a special set of the Taka, Tora, and Batta Core Medals which were more stronger than the normal set of Core Medals. An artistic depiction of the first Kamen Rider OOO showed a form similar to Tatoba Combo wearing a cape and armed with a gauntlet similar to the Taja Spinner and a sword similar to the Medajaribur.

Famous quotes containing the word king:
“This was the merriest old man that we had ever seen, and one of the best preserved. His style of conversation was coarse and plain enough to have suited Rabelais. He would have made a good Panurge. Or rather he was a sober Silenus, and we were the boys Chromis and Mnasilus, who listened to his story.... There was a strange mingling of past and present in his conversation, for he had lived under King George, and might have remembered when Napoleon and the moderns generally were born.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Do we call this the land of the free? What is it to be free from King George and continue the slaves of King Prejudice? What is it to be born free and not to live free? What is the value of any political freedom, but as a means to moral freedom? Is it a freedom to be slaves, or a freedom to be free, of which we boast?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“When the Prince of Wales [later King George IV] and the Duke of York went to visit their brother Prince William [later William IV] at Plymouth, and all three being very loose in their manners, and coarse in their language, Prince William said to his ship’s crew, “now I hope you see that I am not the greatest blackguard of my family.””
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
