Crystal King is the guardian of the Crystal Palace from Paper Mario.  He seems right at home at the Palace, as confusing a place as it is, and I consider that he was always there and Bowser enlisted his help by offering him power.  But Crystal King is haughty and I imagine he may have turned down Bowser's offer as unnecessary, then declared he would defeat Mario just to show he could.  Indeed, the Crystal King was one of the most dangerous foes Mario would face on that adventure, even if his most annoying ability was to heal himself.  He could also summon Crystal Bits that he could use in icy attacks, as well as create mirages of himself.  Ironically, though he was the master of one of the most puzzling levels in Mario games, he is easily confused himself and is susceptible to Dizzy Stomp.  In fact I found this out right away and for the longest time didn't even know what his attacks were.

Hard luck has kept Crystal King out of the Season Ten Tournament.  His Round Three qualifying performance from Round Six earned him a decent rank, even though he would return in Season Eight only to lose to the almight, and fire-breath featuring, Bowser.  This left him just outside the top 60 but at least automatically earned him a spot as a wildcard contender.  But who should he run into again there, but Bowser!  Against the fire-using tyrant, Crystal King wasn't long for that fight and was eliminated.
