The Hylden King was a boss character designed by Andez Gaston for Ritual Entertainment's cancelled game, Legacy of Kain: The Dark Prophecy. He and the Hylden Queen were the rulers of the Hylden kingdom, and "this powerful duo ... would push Kain to his limits."^{[Forum/DCabDesign]}

Development

On November 25, 2007, Andez Gaston posted concept art of the character to the portfolio blog he shared with his brother, Anderson Gaston, under the heading "Hylden boss," and the title "hylden+king". Legacy of Kain community members Lord Onatu and Divine Shadow/Mama Robotnik publicized the sketch at Nosgothic Realm in February 2009, and NeoGAF in July 2010, respectively.^{[Forum/Nosgothic Realm][Forum/NeoGAF]}
