Background Information
He is the one whom Sir Johan and Peewit serve under, who is a wise and benevolent ruler of his own kingdom. He is known to be merciful and even forgiving to villains if they repent for their crimes (depending on the type of crime in question), but is most notable for having faith in the word of his leading knights. He welcomed Johan into his kingdom based on the suggestion from his former knight, Count Tremaine, for instance.
Known Family
- King Gerard -- his nephew who rules over his own kingdom not too far away from him. He and his Clockwork Smurf are adored and he wishes the best for him in all that happens. They exchange letters now and then, but seldom see one another in person.
- Imperia -- his evil sister who once tried to steal his nephew's throne by fooling his kingdom into believing that he had fallen ill and, eventually, passed away. Luckily, her plans were thwarted when Gerard showed up and she was banished from both their kingdoms.
- Leopold -- his brother-in-law who also tried to take over his nephew's kingdom and was stopped by the Smurfs when they discovered his wicked plot which involved (almost successfully) destroying the Clockwork Smurf. He keeps no contact with him.
