	Although King Korol does not physically appear until very late in the game, he has a strong impact on the story.

	After Crocodilopolis was built, most of the slaves used to build it were executed and those who were not were mind-controlled by [[Queen Ferz]] into serving the cult further; this was presumably done under King Korol's orders. Shortly ~~afterward~~ the completion of the temple, Queen Ferz is defeated by the {{Hero 5}} and his team, releasing all the slaves of their hypnosis. Soon after, the heroes manage to reach King Korol's throne room within the depths of the temple. Confident in his own abilities at the height of his power and reign, Korol allows the summoning of the Hero's wagon. Although the battle is long, Korol is eventually defeated. The King's last act is to beseech his master for salvation, but he receives none.
