The Skeleton King is a defleshed giant of a man. He's at least 3 meters tall and carries a long sword taller than your character. He fights well with it, but prefers to stalk around just out of reach, raising up fresh skeletons to join the battle and taunting you with his ghastly, echoing voice.
[[D1 NPCs#Ogden|Ogden]]'s quest dialogue is worth a read:
:''The village needs your help, good master! Some months ago, King Leoric's son, Prince Albrecht, was kidnapped. The king went into a rage and scoured the village for his missing child. With each passing day, Leoric seemed to slip deeper into madness. He sought to blame innocent townsfolk for the boy's disappearance and had them brutally executed. Less than half of us survived his insanity...
:''The king's knights and priests tried to placate him, but he turned against them and, sadly, they were forced to kill him. With his dying breath, the king called down a terrible curse upon his former followers. He vowed that they would serve him in darkness forever...
:''This is where things take an even darker twist than I thought possible! Our former king has returned from his eternal sleep, and now commands a legion of undead minions within the labyrinth. His body was buried in a tomb, three levels beneath the cathedral. Please, good master, put his soul at rest by destroying his now cursed form...
