King was once an Ork Lineman, the #11 player of the Greenskin's Mega, who met with a terrible fate at the festering hands of Or'zhugnygot in the first game of the Rotters of R'lyeh. With Papa Nurgle's greatest pestilence, the Rot, being bestowed upon him, he defied the grave to join the ranks of the Rotters of R'lyeh to fulfill a greater purpose: to fight and possibly die on the pitch in the name of Nurgle.
