The Blood King (嗜血魔王) is the titular supporting character of Brave Animated Series, based on the comic Brave Series (勇者系列) by Yellow Book. Although he is the hereditary ruler of the Demons and serves in Morewant's inner circle, his actions are driven by a commitment to the stability, tradition, and psychological unity of the Demon clan, rather than the typical villainous goal of conquest.
He is voiced by Taiwanese dubbing actor Li Shih Yang.
Story[]
Blood King holds the title of King of the Vampires. He is renowned as the psychological counselor of the Demons, providing shrewd and elegant guidance to the current Morewant, who is shown to struggle with the responsibilities of leadership. His ancient family is entrusted with the sacred duty of guarding the Philosopher's Stone (賢者之石), the Demon clan's greatest secret treasure. He tests the Morewant's worthiness before granting access to the relic, upholding the belief that the treasure must not fall into the wrong hands, even if those hands belong to the sitting king.
Appearance[]
Blood King possesses a slender and elegant build. His skin tone is a distinctive light purple or lavender hue. His hair is styled in a sweeping, layered fashion, primarily a shade of darker purple or black. His eyes are a striking bright, luminous green. A significant part of his face, including his nose and mouth area, is covered by a dark, form-fitting mask or shroud, obscuring his lower features and adding to his enigmatic aura. He is most prominently defined by his dramatic, high-collared cape, which is a deep, rich burgundy or dark red on the exterior and potentially a lighter, contrasting color (like purple) on the interior lining. The collar stands tall and is sharply pointed. Beneath the cape, he wears a crisp, white, high-collared ruffled shirt (possibly a jabot). The sleeves are also ruffled at the cuffs. He dons dark, fitted trousers (likely black or dark grey) secured by a simple dark belt with a silver buckle, providing a grounding contrast to his more flamboyant upper attire.
Personality[]
Blood King is characterized by his noble and sharp demeanor.
- Aristocratic - He maintains a posture of extreme elegance and refinement, often viewing direct conflict as "unelegant."
- Insightful Strategist - Utilizing his skills as a counselor, he assists the Demon King in clarifying difficult choices and embracing responsibility.
- Traditionalist - He is a loyal guardian of his family’s long-standing duty, valuing tradition and the honor of the Demon Race above immediate political gain or personal ambition.
Powers & Abilities[]
Blood King relies less on brute magical force and more on psychological insight, strategic planning, and inherent vampiric traits.
Psychological Mastery[]
- Psychological Counselor - His primary "ability" is a deep, masterful understanding of the psyche. He can quickly diagnose the core issues of individuals (like Morewant's leadership struggles) or large groups (like the Demon clan's factional divide) and devise solutions that appeal to their underlying motivations.
- Charisma and Influence - As a noble, he possesses immense social power and charisma, allowing him to steer political discourse and resolve conflicts not through violence, but through carefully structured, fair, and persuasive means.
Vampiric Attributes[]
- Longevity and Wisdom - As the King of the Vampires, he possesses the vast knowledge and wisdom accumulated over a long lifespan, making him an unmatched advisor and custodian of ancient traditions.
- Noble Presence - He commands a presence that can instantly silence a room and demand respect from even the most unruly or powerful demons. This noble aura acts as a form of social control.
Custodianship[]
- Guardian of the Philosopher's Stone - Though not an offensive power, his role as the guardian grants him intimate knowledge about the Demon Race's ultimate secret treasure. His judgment determines who is worthy to wield this artifact, making his influence pivotal to the ultimate power dynamic of the Demon World.
Abilities[]
- Hypnosis - As a King of the Vampire clan, he possesses powerful hypnotic abilities. He can use his noble presence and voice to compel, confuse, or temporarily control the minds of others, making his diplomatic or counseling efforts significantly more effective (e.g., Making the low self-esteem and cowardly Golem Demons feel even more noble and confident in themselves.).
- Ultrasound - He possesses the inherent sensory abilities of his race. He can emit a concentrated, high-frequency super-sonic wave.

Trivia[]
- In the original comic, he hypnotizes the Golem Demons vigorously for their morale when he defends himself from the Black Magic Sword's wizard attacks. And he has a sister called "Bloodbath Wicked Woman", who is very controlling and fierce towards him. But she is subdued by the Sage and becomes very gentle.
