The Unseelie King is the king of the faeries of the Unseelie Court.
History
The King has around fifty sons with many different women,[2] and an unknown number of daughters.[3] Sometime around the 1990s, the Unseelie King had a romantic encounter with a water faerie. The tryst resulted in Kieran,[4] whom he traded to the Wild Hunt while the boy was still young, apparently due to Court politics.[2]
Physical description
The Unseelie King has a tall and lean build. He has two large, white horns curling from either side of his temples. He also has a deep pallor, with skin even whiter then Kieran's, and black hair.
The contrast of the sides of his face made it seem like it was divided down the middle. The right side was the face of a handsome young man—clean and uncannily beautiful—while the left was heavily disfigured, with tight, gray skin and several scars, as well as an empty eye socket.[5]
