Personality
When he first appeared, he is shown to be a ally to the Holy Knight and appears to be willing to wipe anyone out if they got in his way - along with the person he is after. Since he is the Sin of Sloth he might be lazy, as shown through his feet not touching the ground. In the past he was shown to be a kind and tender person who return the stuff stolen from children by Ban. Furthermore, it appears that he is a fairly emotional person who cries easily.

King is still shown to have the caring side he had ten years ago by helping the Seven Deadly Sins in their battle. Despite being the Sin of Sloth, he is shown to be hard working and serious at moments.
