The "golden" philosopher-king of the Cyberons, (PROSE: The Blue Scream of Death [+]Loading...["The Blue Scream of Death (short story)"]) also known as the Philosopher-King (PROSE: Samhain Miracles [+]Loading...["Samhain Miracles (short story)"]) or simply the Cyberon King, (COMIC: Before the Storm) was the original leader of the Cyberon hive mind.

It "stood spitefully" at the peak of the nootropic volcano on the Cyberon homeworld Aurichall from which the Cyberon nootropic flowed, not far from the First City. (PROSE: The Blue Scream of Death [+]Loading...["The Blue Scream of Death (short story)"])

On 31 October 2483, influenced like the rest of the Mad Mind of Aurichall by human vessels' trace-memories of Halloween, the Philosopher-King shrouded himself in white. (PROSE: Samhain Miracles [+]Loading...["Samhain Miracles (short story)"])

In 2892, when the Cyberon War began, the Cyberons who had taken possession of New York victoriously cried "Glory to the Cyberon King!".

The Cyberon King was ultimately destroyed alongside the Cyberons' original home planet in 2989. Based on her predictions of these events, Box speculated, without certainty, that Lauren Anderson would play a part in this event. At any rate, while a heavy blow, this was not the end of the Cyberons, (COMIC: Before the Storm) who found themselves a new leader in the person of the Cyberon Cybercontroller Dracula, beginning the New Cyberon Era. (COMIC: Before the Storm, AUDIO: Curse of the Cyberons)

Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]

The "Cyberon King" featured in early drafts of Callum Phillpott's ultimately unfinished Cyberon novel Minalopa, intended to appear in a prologue where they reflected angrily on the events of Cyber-Hunt[1].

They were going to be this like giant Cyberon lich-thing with six brains, I suppose I wanted a sort of big Disney Villain vibe but honestly I don’t know if the King would’ve survived in the second draft.Callum Phillpott
