Character Setting

Edit

Darius XIV was once the king of the former Persian Kingdom and dreamed of transforming his country into a green, lush land. He used advanced robot weapons, rapidly built up the military, and started the 39th Central Asian Conflict. After a major defeat, he was captured and imprisoned, where his appearance dramatically changed due to harsh conditions. Despite being seen as a cruel dictator, Darius XIV cared deeply for loyal citizens. His actions in court and prison became increasingly strange, leaving an unforgettable impression on all who met him. His story, filled with ambition, downfall, and eccentricity, is full of drama and intrigue.

He planned to use advanced robots, even creating ones to help improve the environment.

Rapid Military Build-Up and Conflict

Darius XIV rebuilt his country’s army using robot weapons.

This led to the start of the 39th Central Asian Conflict.

Defeat and Capture

His palace was overthrown, leaving him with no escape.

Life in Prison

Before capture, Darius XIV was robust and confident.

After some time in prison, he returned looking thin and frail—proof of the tough conditions.

While in jail, he behaved oddly, often saying things that confused others.

He once tried to end his own life by biting his tongue during a meeting with Gesicht, but he survived.

Courtroom Drama

During the trial, he wore restraints and a device to change his voice.

He said chilling things to President Alexander, warning, “You will be consumed by the flames of revenge.”

During a huge earthquake at the military court, he declared, “No one can escape Abullah’s revenge.”

Final Orders

Just before his kingdom fell, he commanded Pluto to assassinate seven top robots.

He also ordered Abullah (also known as Goji) to destroy the Borra research team and punish the Thracian United States.

In “The World’s Strongest Robot” Version

In this version, Darius XIV was a former king who lived a luxurious life.

He was exiled from his country and lived in a lonely castle.

He hoped to reclaim his throne.

If he could not, he wanted his robot to be the greatest in the world, so he ordered Professor Abullah to create Pluto.

He was shown as a spoiled and selfish man, fitting his image as a once-wealthy king.

“No one can escape Abullah’s revenge.”

He often talked about “the process of evolution,” “robots loved by God,” and “a field of flowers.”
