"The Sapphir'd King suffuses the entirety of the Blue Kingdom, but he emanates from its heart. You find him there. He turns his attention to you for a moment. This is enough to immediately and utterly annihilate your officers and crew. Your engine, too, is unmade. You hold yourself together for only a moment longer. Long enough to perceive a blazing, roaring, singing, exhilarating, crushing fraction of him. He is mind. He is light."
The Sapphir'd King is the Judgement of The Blue Kingdom, the realm of the dead.
He Emanates From its Heart
The Sapphir'd King is basically the king of the dead in the High Wilderness, and almost all souls that die there end up in his realm. Despite his very firm grip on the rule of his realm, he is notoriously elusive as a Judgement. Only those who have passed Death's Door can see him in his full, terrifying glory. The Sapphir'd King is also responsible for the shutdown of the Forge of Souls, due an incident that remains unspecified. The King is quite fond of using Logoi as servants, and he controls numerous yoked spirits that serve him.
Crimes Soaked in Blue
The Sapphir'd King is implied to be a member of the Amaranthine Conjunction of stars, which believes in the philosophy of culmination and ending. This makes sense, given his iron grip on the judgement of the dead. The King basically designed his realm to be a soul-feeding machine, and his bureaucracies basically decide what souls are good to eat and what souls aren't. Despite Death's Door's appearance as the gateway to salvation, it is nothing more than the throat of a hungry star. The Sapphir'd King is also seeking out the Repentant Devil for his skills in soul-refinement, much to the devil's annoyance.
His dominion over the dead and belief in the completion of all things led him and his daughter to murder the King of Hours, who was using time to prevent the death of his own subjects. He is also a nemesis of the Halved, and any servants of the Azure that show themselves in Eleutheria are locked in Piranesi.
The Sapphir'd King is quite fond of using the White Well to imprison his enemies. Unlike the other wells, the White Well isn't just reserved for the most powerful of beings; the Sapphir'd King will imprison anyone he perceives to be a threat, from the horrific monsters to the ordinary rabble, to the point that it's arguably the most densely packed Well we know of. However, the King's abuse of the White Well may come to bite him one day...
