Kino: The King of Ghouls

(moodboard + plot headcanons)

Kino. The King of Ghouls. The Incomplete Mage. He Who Wears Darkness as His Cloak. The Lord of Crows. The Prince With No Crown.

while most people in Westeros believed that Shuu is Karlheinz's firstborn son, a few people knew that it wasn't him. it was none other than Kino, his son from Devyn Kang (@secretarykang), the world's most powerful witch

as a child, Kino believed that one day, he would be a king like Karl, reigning over the seven kingdoms with his magic and ensuring every single being in this world is equal with rights and hoping to end humanity's sufferings

well tbh it was also Karl's fault for encouraging him to think that way

and yes it all turned out to be a farce when Karl eventually found out that Devyn wasn't the magic woman in the prophecy and Kino is not the son who will become his heir in Westeros

this prompted Karl to leave the life he built with Devyn and Kino, ultimately burying all traces of them and proceeding to ally himself with Burai and Menae (aka Cordelia's parents)

Kino wasn't fully accepting the fact that Karl abandoned his first family so he went undercover to Westeros, hoping he could change Karl's mind

until he found out that Karl had already moved on with his life, marrying Cordelia and having the triplets as his replacement since they were all touched with magic based on the prophecy

but Kino was stubborn, pleading to the guards that he needed to talk to Karlheinz bcos he was his firstborn

Karl entertained him ofc, promising him that he and Devyn will be a part of their family in Westeros

but it was a lie ofc

the next thing Karl did was burn the whole town of mages in the North, making sure no one escapes

Devyn was powerless to protect Kino so she gave up all her powers to him and placed a curse on Karlheinz that he will die a tragic death unbefitting of a king

and bcos of his immense power, Kino branded himself as the king of Ghouls, animating all the dead mages and controlling them to do all his bidding

there were a few mages who lived, and so Kino had them transferred to Shadowlands with the help of Gilbert Feinze

he even observed the triplets grow until they were 16, watching all their movements so he would know their weaknesses and have his ghouls kill them

ofc he almost succeeded with his first attempt to steal Kanato's eyes, only for Maya to kill his ghouls with her purified arrow.

and at night he would dream abt what Karlheinz did to him and his mother, and how revenge never tasted this good

until then, the cards will fall one by one and he will crown himself as the King of All Seven Kingdoms.
