| “ | Where aphotic sea does deny,
Reflections of a xanthous sky. And black stars reign without ascent, Echoes of what was never meant. A city built in unknown times, Upon the bones of countless crimes. Stranger yet is found within, The chaos court of strife and sin. The mad dance here without control, As all must play their given role. For those beyond our mortal ken, We die and live, and die again. Our Lord does writhe atop his throne, Before his glory, we atone, With this, our blood, it is the Hanged King's, So shall we suffocate upon his puppet-strings. |

| ~ Hanged King's Tragedy |
Character Synopsis[]
The Hanged King is an reoccurring antagonist of the SCP Foundation universe. He is the monarch of the distant realm of Alagadda and is known for his tyranny and corruption, alongside his indulgence in base pleasures.
Eventually, the people of Alagadda rebelled against The Hanged King and set his palace on fire, thus killing all people who were loyal to him and supported his tyranny. After having been captured, his crown and robes were ripped away from him and were replaced with rags and chains. He was beaten and then hanged by his people outside the city on a hill and he would then place a curse in which he would come back
