History

Trent was trained by Good Magician Humphrey in his childhood. After trying to take the throne he was exiled to mundania for 20 years. he then returned to Xanth and was crowned King. He later retired and moved to the North Village with Sorceress Iris.

The magician of Transformation, King Trent used to be referred to as the Evil Magician for attempting to take over the throne prior to A Spell for Chameleon. Trent was exiled to Mundania but later helped accidentally back into Xanth by Magician Bink and Chameleon. After The Storm King died, Trent was made king on the condition that he marry Sorceress Iris. He did so but only out of convenience. It took Trent over twenty years to recover from the loss of his first wife and son to Mundane illness in Mundania. Eventually though, Trent came to love Iris. He stepped down as king in the 6th Xanth novel, Night Mare, after which Bink's son Magician Dor became the new King of Xanth with Trent's daughter Sorceress Irene. He lives in quiet retirement in North Village. Trent was instrumental in all of the first six Xanth books but was featured as a main character in A Spell for Chameleon and Centaur Aisle. Later in the series, he makes a rejuvenated appearance in Harpy Thyme. He remains one of the only people that grasps Bink's extraordinary talent.
