Arrakkamani
"'The king is degenerate, slothful, dissipated. It should not be hard for you to achieve complete dominance over him.'" -- Robert E. Howard (Untitled Draft)
The king of Kush is a much disrespected king. He is cruel to the Gallahs and his sister dominates him utterly, ruling Kush through him.
He is afraid of conflict and dissent, making him tolerate situations instead of engaging in active problem-solving. He is willing to do things for others because he wants to be liked; he errs on the side of kindness in almost any situation, unless it involves the Gallah, because he fears he will lose the support of the Chaga if he is kind to the Gallah people. He has almost no willpower to say "no" to someone he wants to be his friend -– Tananda uses that to her advantage.
He does tend to make people feel wanted around him. His answer to aggression is not to solve the underlying problem, but to put the aggressive person to death. He is lazy in many matters, not wanting to seem too forward or eager about any activity. He is putty in the hands of most women, especially beautiful or exotic women. He received his crown after his brother was poisoned by Tananda because he could not be controlled.
