Biography[]
King Chance does not play a very large part in the books. He is mostly just mentioned as being "by Queen Cinderella's side". He is captured by Ezmia along with the other kings and queens in The Enchantress Returns, and saved by Alex. In A Grimm Warning, he joins the other royals on the hidden path and is captured by the Grande Armée when they are betrayed. He fights alongside his brothers in the battle against the army.
In Beyond the Kingdoms, he attends Queen Red Riding Hood and Froggy's (almost) wedding.[1] Later, Sir Lampton mentions that the kingdom was attacked by Winkies and that he is unsure what happened to the royal family.[2]
In An Authors Odyssey Chance is rescued when he is about to be executed by "The Emperor".
He and his brothers (except for Froggy) play a much large role in Goldilocks: Wanted Dead or Alive, where he is the main antagonist.
Physical Appearance[]
| “ | King Charming was the definition of dashing. He was every bit as handsome as any description ever written about him. He had a mesmerizing smile and thick, wavy hair under a large, golden crown. He could easily have been a movie star back in the twins' world. | ” |

Personality[]

However,he could also be slightly power hungry and his determination to make a better world for his daughter and fulfill his promise to his father drove him to do an unjust thing that he would never typically do.
