Wasp King

Je suis le Roi des Guêpes, le souverain du Royaume des Guêpes. Vous vous prosternerez devant moi, ou vous subirez un sort interminable.

As an infant, Hoaxe was abandoned in the Dead Lands by his parents. For several years, he would struggle to survive within the Dead Lands and fight off against the Dead Landers. He would settle in the Wasp Kingdom, becoming a trash collector, ridiculed and mocked by other civilians. He had no friends. Angered, Hoaxe swore revenge against everyone and later left the Wasp Kingdom to travel across Bugaria after reading about the Everlasting Sapling from within the library. Eventually, Hoaxe travelled to Metal Island and met the merchant Yale, who gave him a crown; this crown actually being the Ancient Crown, one of many Ancient Artifacts created by the Roaches fabled to be in Bugaria. The crown granted him powerful pyrokinesis, allowing him to seize full control of the Wasp Kingdom upon his return. With a single snap from his fingers, the wasps were brainwashed under his control with the exception of Queen Vanessa II, who Hoaxe sealed away within her room. Now known as the Wasp King, Hoaxe would then begin to seek out the remaining Ancient Mask, Tablet, and Key Pieces in hopes of finding the Everlasting Sapling to achieve eternal life. The Ant Kingdom, also in search of the Sapling, would soon become a frequent target of attacks and invasions under the Wasp King. Wasp King has many powerful abilities, including summoning a coil of flames, and, when obtaining the everlasting sapling, the ability to recover his health. Team Snakemouth and Maki journey to the Wasp Kingdom and confront General Ultimax, who tells them that the King is in his chamber with the Artifact. He is defeated and the team enter the Wasp King's private chamber, only to find Queen Vanessa II instead, who warns them that he was on his way to the Ant Kingdom again to retrieve the rest of the Artifacts. Team Snakemouth, consisting of Vi, Kabbu, and Leif, confront the Wasp King, only to be wiped out by his flame attack. The Wasp King threatens to kill The Ant Queen, Elizant, and her people should she not surrender the remaining artifacts. With no other options, she concedes and gives him the Ancient Mask, Tablet, and remaining Key piece. The Wasp King leaves to journey to the Giant's Lair to retrieve the Everlasting Sapling, with Team Snakemouth following them. The Wasp King abandons his troops to the Dead Landers and activates a large stove to create a fiery barrier to prevent anyone from pursuing him, exposing a nearby Roach village to the flames. Eventually, the team best the Dead Landers and turn off the machine, allowing them to confront the Wasp King. He vows to kill everyone who stands in his way. Team Snakemouth manage to defeat the Wasp King, but he catches them off-guard with a sneak attack, allowing him enough time to open the capsule containing the Everlasting Sapling. To his horror, the Sapling had since wilted. Enraged, the Wasp King refuses to accept defeat and quickly devours the last remaining leaf, turning him into the Everlasting King. He then burns what remained of the Sapling. Team Snakemouth engage in a final battle with the Everlasting King and ultimately succeed in defeating him. The Everlasting King cries out of his immortality before turning into a plant.
