Charioce XIII (シャリオス13世, Shariosu 13-sei) was the king of Orleans residing in the capital, Anatae.

Appearance

Charioce XIII is a large obese man with grey hair.

Personality

He is a weak cowardly man who is insecure about his own position as king. This insecurity leads him to become jealous and fearful of the favor that Jeanne d'Arc receives from the gods, fearing that she might try to steal his position and authority. Because of this, he is easily deceived into believing that she is trying to murder him, and his paranoia drives him to order Jeanne's execution.

Charioce XIII likes to receive praises and considers himself worthy of favor above everyone else in Anatae. He is easily offended as seen with his treatment of Laurus Lidfard, ordering his immediate execution for failing to protect a tribute to the king. Charioce was also keen on executing Amira's friends and was shocked when the gods told him not to.

Notably, Charioce XIII holds his deceased mother in high regards and has a large portrait of her that he speaks to when he feels troubled.

Plot

Shingeki no Bahamut: Genesis

After Amira is captured and brought to the royal castle by Jeanne d'Arc and the Orleans Knights, The gods stop Charioce XIII from executing Amira's friends, ordering him instead to lock Amira away and to grant Rita, Favaro, and Kaisar hospitality instead.

Charioce is pleased when Favaro runs up to him and thanks him profoundly for his kindness. Sometime later, large monsters begin approaching Anatae. Charioce watches Jeanne charge into battle alone and fearlessly. Jeanne swiftly defeats the monsters using the Maltet.

When demons attack the royal castle, Charioce XIII is shown in his chambers with three mistresses. Once he realizes what is happening, he hurriedly puts on his golden armor in order to defend his castle, but the situation is resolved by Jeanne before he manages to do anything.

The following morning, Charioce knights both Favaro and Kaisar as a reward for their efforts in defending the castle. Michael makes an unannounced visit and gives Jeanne the Précieuse as a reward. Charioce expected to receive the gift instead and becomes increasingly jealous of the saint, believing that as the king, he should be the only one entitled to have audiences with and receive gifts from the gods.

He tries to offer Jeanne some land in hopes of retiring her from her services voluntarily, but she refuses his offer politely, as she has no interest in such things.

Later, Charioce speaks to his deceased mother's portrait to obtain guidance from her. After drinking wine secretly poisoned by someone, Charioce begins experiencing a hallucination of his mother warning him that his life is in danger, and that Jeanne is trying to kill him for his throne. This news increases his paranoid and loss of reasoning.

Gaurin's corpse is left outside the king's chambers soon after. Strands of Jeanne's hair is found on the corpse and Jeanne is promptly arrested for the murder. Charioce XIII sentences Jeanne to death via burned at a stake, naming her a witch and a heretic. Although the people protest her execution and try to disrupt it, he declares that anyone who sides with her is a traitor and his men will attack them.

However, Jeanne escapes her execution after consuming Martinet's concoction. She transforms into a demon and flees from the castle on the back of a winged demon, a sight which horrifies Charioce XIII.

After Bahamut is revived, the royal castle gets hit by one of Bahamut's projectiles. Fire consumes most of the royal castle. A terrified Charioce XIII pleads to his mother's portrait for help but the portrait merely drops on top of him, killing him.

Shingeki no Bahamut Virgin Soul

Chris's mother had been one of Charioce XIII's concubines who was banished from the royal castle as soon as her pregnancy was discovered. Chris' reign begins with him severing ties with the gods his father had tried so hard to please.
