All of the remaining Vessels were discarded by the King and tossed to the bottom of the Abyss, although some managed to escape, including the Knight. However, only one Vessel was judged to be capable of containing the Infection for eternity, earning the name "The Hollow Knight". From the Void, the Pale King created Vessels, beings comprised of Void, meant to have no mind or will for the Radiance to break. He turned to the Void at the bottom of the Abyss below Hallownest, which appeared to have the potential to seal the Radiance. The Pale King willed to go through any lengths to make his Kingdom last eternal, even if it meant committing immoral actions to ensure its perpetuation. The Radiance grew envious over the Pale King's efforts to overthrow her as the leader of Hallownest and reacted by inflicting the dreams and minds of the bugs with a raging light, reverting them back to their mindless state, starting the Infection. Over time, there was almost nobody who still remembered that the Radiance existed in the first place.ĭespite the Pale King's plan to remove the Radiance by making everyone forget about her to sever her hive mind, her memory lingered on due to a statue of the entity at Hallownest's Crown. These bugs revered him as a god, and even the moths, who were created by the Radiance, turned to the Pale King for guidance instead. He granted sentience to the bugs of Hallownest, who were until then had simple minds or were under the control of the Radiance's hive mind. The Godseeker claims he did this to match the bugs of Hallownest. It is said that he transformed from this being into his current form. The Pale King was born from the death of a large creature known as a Wyrm. Whether these Vessels were killed by him or died on their own is unclear, but it is known that he felt remorse for their deaths. He discarded thousands of Vessels in the Abyss, with most of these Vessels ending up dying. While he did oppose the Soul Master of Soul Sanctum in his attempts to use Soul in order to stop the infection, the Pale King had an unethical plan of his very own. The moth tribe of the Radiance willingly turned their backs on her in favor of worshipping the Pale King.
Despite this, there is no evidence that he forced anyone to follow him after granting some of the bugs sentience. The Pale King became the ruler of Hallownest mainly so that he could be worshipped as a godlike king. He was small in stature and wore a gray cloak around his body. The Pale King had a white head with a horned crown.
