}}'''King Roquat''', usually referred to as simply '''the Nome King''', was the malevolent leader of the [[Nome]]s of [[Land of Oz|Oz]]. | |||
== Description == | |||
=== Physical appearance === | |||
In at least one universe, the Nome King was a “ruddy [[Gnome]]” with a beard that was almost completely white, although he dyed its tips red to justify his membership with the [[Secret League of the Orange-Bearded Gnomes]]. He carried a golden staff. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Interlude of Jenny Everywhere (novel)|The Interlude of Jenny Everywhere]]'') | |||
=== Personality === | |||
King Roquat was somewhat “bull-headed”, and prone to getting blinded by his grudges and resentments, but was also possessed of a certain amount of cunning which had allowed him to rise to the top among his people. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Interlude of Jenny Everywhere (novel)|The Interlude of Jenny Everywhere]]'') | |||
=== Powers & abilities === | |||
The Nome King had magical abilities, such as the power to turn people into inanimate objects. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Interlude of Jenny Everywhere (novel)|The Interlude of Jenny Everywhere]]'') He had a magical weakness to eggs. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Jenny Everywhere and the Lord of Hell (short story)|Jenny Everywhere and the Lord of Hell]]'', ''[[The Interlude of Jenny Everywhere (novel)|The Interlude of Jenny Everywhere]]'') | |||
== Biography == | |||
=== Merging with Lord Grallyx === | |||
After [[Jenny Everywhere#Adventures with the Cupids|Jenny Everywhere]] [[shift|transport]]ed herself and [[Lord Grallyx]] to Oz, Grallyx briefly merged with the Nome King. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Jenny Everywhere and the Lord of Hell (short story)|Jenny Everywhere and the Lord of Hell]]'') | After [[Jenny Everywhere#Adventures with the Cupids|Jenny Everywhere]] [[shift|transport]]ed herself and [[Lord Grallyx]] to Oz, Grallyx briefly merged with the Nome King. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Jenny Everywhere and the Lord of Hell (short story)|Jenny Everywhere and the Lord of Hell]]'') | ||
=== With the Secret League of the Orange-Bearded Gnome === | |||
One version of King Roquat was contacted by the interdimensional [[Secret League of the Orange-Bearded Gnomes]] and dyed the tips of his white beard red, so that he would be allowed to join. He was present at a convention of the League at the [[Gnome Place]] when [[Jenny Everywhere#Adventures with the Cupids|Jenny Everywhere]] inadvertently crashed the meeting. She recognised him as King Roquat from the memories of another Jenny, unintentionally worsening the paranoid King's suspicion that she was some kind of malevolent spy aiming to bring down the League and expose its secrets. The King seemed to still have baggage about the loss of his magic belt and being defeated by a [[witch]] who called what he described as “armies of [[The Scarecrow|scarecrows]], and, and [[The Tin Woodman|metal men]], and [[Billina|chickens]]” to his aid.
