| “ | Equestria is coming with its large meadows. With rich forests and load-bearing reasons. |
” |
| ~ Scarlet King's favorite poem, his own composition. |
| “ | Princess Twilight Sparkle: I must be the most stupid, naive and pathetic Equestrian, fooled by fate and the lies of history. I live in a country where blood rituals have been carried out for centuries. The country was founded at the whim of a cruel god, my friends and I developed the ideology of Friendship throughout Equestria while he warped our minds, covering his tracks in the history of our world. I was looking for the truth and you hid it from all of us. Scarlet King: There is very little left. My country is almost free from all the weaknesses that fate brought it in my absence. You can calm your mind. You can heal, you can forget. |

| ~ Scarlet King to Princess Twilight Sparkle about the truth regarding the history of Equestria. |
Scarlet King is the main antagonist of the "Shadow Play" duology of season 7 of the My Little Pony Friendship is Magic Reaperverse and one of the plot-key antagonists of the entire My Little Pony G4 Reaperverse.
He is the founder and leader of the Scarlet Cult, which has been performing blood rituals and sacrifices throughout Equestria for centuries. It was on his whim that Equestria was founded.
After wanting to overthrow Celestia and Luna and rule Equestria himself, he teams up with Pony of Shadows, but is imprisoned with him in Limbo by the Pillars of Old Equestria. A thousand years later, he and Pony of Shadows are accidentally released from Limbo when Princess Sparkle returns the Pillars of Old Equestria to Equestria. After an extremely long confrontation, the Scarlet King is destroyed by The Gate Guardian.
Actions and Characteristics[]
- He is one of the most powerful villains in the entire My Little Pony G4 Reaperverse (after the Dark The Maddened). He can travel between multiverses, warp reality, tear the fabric of the universe, affect the minds of any entity in such a way that they do not even notice it. He can manipulate all kinds of elements that only exist in the Oneness, can change the vegetation and landscape of any planet at will, can create new life forms with their own laws in terms of physiology, biology and abilities. He also wields Magic Scarlet Chaos, which allows him to massively rearrange and warp multiverses in a certain area of the Oneness.
- He is one of the most despicable villains in the entire My Little Pony G4 Reaperverse, as he is a purebred egotist who fully relishes his status as the true founder of Equestria, as he also founded the Scarlet Cult, which performed blood sacrifices for himself out of pure sadism and the need to show the worship of the Equestrian populace. He is also one of the few villains in the Reaperverse that Princess Twilight Sparkle hated with all her heart and rightfully considered him too vile, cruel, selfish, and unredeemable to be allowed to live.
- He is one of the most influential villains in the entire My Little Pony G4 Reaperverse (after Dark The Maddened), because he, not Slenderman, is responsible for almost the entire plot of My Little Pony G4, and is indirectly responsible for the entire plot of G5. His single action, in the form of founding Equestria, makes him responsible for almost all of the plot synergies in G4 and G5:
- Since it was after his founding of Equestria that Celestia and Luna ascended to the throne, he is responsible for Luna's fall to the dark side, including her subsequent transformation into Nightmare Moon and banishment to the Moon for centuries, as well as the creation of the entity Tantabus (and its subsequent crimes, which are also shared by Crazydream, Luna's former student banished to the Dream Realm), created by Luna as punishment for her crimes.
- It was his founding of Equestria that eventually created all of the Guardians of Equestria groups, including the Guardians of Harmony, the Knights of Harmony (also responsible for Danu and Mightknight's crimes against all of Equestria), the Pillars of Old Equestria (also responsible for the creation and temporary destruction of the Tree of Harmony that Starswirl planted), and the Young Guardians of Harmony.
- It was because of his manipulation that the Pony of Shadows was created, corrupting the Stygian, causing the Pillars of Old Equestria to be transported along with him and the Pony of Shadows to Limbo for 1,000 years until the Guardians of Harmony freed them.
- Because he, rather than Celestia and Luna, introduced the policy of harmony, friendship, and the concept of the Cutie Marks to Equestria, he is responsible for Starlight Glimmer subjecting the population of her village to the tyranny of equality, as well as her and Driftworm attempting to change the Equestrian timeline so that the Guardians of Harmony would never be formed.
- It is due to his founding of Equestria that many of its villains have either attempted to appropriate it for themselves (such as Queen Chrysalis and General Chryzalis, Plunderboid and Seed, King Sombra and Shadow Freddy, and the Storm King and Wight Lord) or strip it of all magic and rule over it (such as Lord Tirek and Slenderman, and Cozy Glow and The Shy Guy). He is also responsible for all of the actions of Shadow Freddy and King Sombra, who cursed the Crystal Empire, destroyed the Tree of Harmony (albeit briefly), and nearly gained control of Equestria. He is also responsible for all of the crimes of Discord (as well as Plunderboid's aiding Discord in selling him his seeds for the Tree of Harmony) and Cosmos, who attempted to use Equestria as a site for their chaos. His responsibility also includes the actions of the Knights of Harmony (including Danu and Mightknight) against all of Equestria.
- He is also indirectly responsible for all of the actions and crimes of the Legion of Doom (both the main one and under the Dark The Maddened's leadership), as well as spreading discord throughout Equestria in the future, which would result in Queen Haven and Slenderman coming to power in Equestria, Celestia, Luna, Cadance and several other characters being killed by the mercenary Offengun, who would also trap almost the entire Guardians of Harmony (except Spike and Lincoln) in stasis-polymer, leaving Equestria in the dark and defenseless against any threat for nearly a hundred years. And he is also indirectly responsible for all of the crimes of Opaline Arcana and the crimes of her squad, consisting of the remainder of the villains from the My Little Pony G4 Reaperverse.
- He is indirectly responsible for his inaction in allowing his master, the Dark The Maddened, to massacre Ponyville with a hypnotized Night Ripper, who also killed Sunset Shimmer's parents, traumatizing her and setting her on a dark path, which led to her accidentally escaping through the Crystal Mirror to the Human World. This makes him the indirect plot device for nearly every event in the My Little Pony Equestria Girls franchise, including:
- He is responsible for all of the crimes of all of the Lords of Business (including Leland Genos, Filthy Rich, Juniper Montage, and Principal Cinch) who gained their powers through Equestrian magic (as well as its illegal supply to the Human World) brought from Equestria to the Human World by Forestfear.
- As such, he is also indirectly responsible for Celestia's attempt to mistakenly execute Forestfear, and his subsequent escape to the Human World, which also makes him indirectly responsible for the formation of Ministers of Forestfear, the Lords of Business, as well as the formation of the old and new Elements of Disharmony from the Human World, which also makes him responsible for all of their crimes against Equestria and the Human World.
- He is also indirectly responsible for Sci-Twi's transformation into Midnight Sparkle, as well as being directly responsible for the near-constant infiltration of Equestrian magic into the Human World due to Midnight Sparkle's actions, and all of the crimes the human temporary wielders of that magic have committed against the Guardians of Harmony and the civilian population. Including Wallflower Blush's Memory Stone, PostCrush's Time Twirler, Juniper Montage's Magic Mirror, Vincent Valencia's Magic Phone, and Forestfear's Magic Crystals, which were used by Gloriosa Daisy.
- Ultimately, he is almost directly responsible for the formation of the Friendship Guardians via the magical crystals formed from Forestfear's body.
