King Glouton (Empath stories)

King Gorge is a character that is part of the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series. Originally known as The Gnome King in the cartoon show, his encounter with Greedy Smurf was through the story where Empath took over as the village chef during Greedy's illness, but upon Greedy's recovery found out that the village wanted Empath as the village chef instead of Greedy, making him feel unappreciated and jealous of Empath. Greedy left the village and offered his services to the constantly hungry king, whose son Prince Pyro was always left on hold when it came to doing things together, always promising "after dinner" but never delivering on the promise.

Greedy befriended the prince and offered to take him fishing, but the king wouldn't let Greedy out of the kitchen to do anything else but cook and so was imprisoned to eternally serve the king. Prince Pyro sent word to Greedy's friends about his predicament, and Empath, Smurfette, Tapper, and Duncan McSmurf came to help Greedy escape his prison, with Empath telling Greedy that he never really wanted to take over as the village chef. Eventually Prince Pyro delivered an ultimatum to his own father that if he didn't release Greedy or his friends, he would forever leave. King Gorge realized what he would lose and decided that he should start spending time together with his son like he promised, thus allowing Greedy and his friends to leave in peace.
