Equestria is coming with its large meadows.

With rich forests and load-bearing reasons.

After all, God the Unknown is a creative tear.

~ Scarlet King's favorite poem, his own composition.


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.

Biography[]

Past[]

Over 10 billion years ago, it was created by Dark The Maddened, as the closest branch of the Primordial Chaos Magic, which was supposed to work in Unity in the absence of Dark The Maddened.

For many millions of years, the Scarlet King mastered his abilities and tried to adapt to life in Unity. Around 2009 AD, he invaded the SCP Foundation Multiverse, where, finding himself the most powerful representative of the local "superbeings", he decided to appropriate this Multiverse for himself. When he practically realized his plan after long manipulations of the most diverse entities of the Multiverse by the SCP Foundation, The Gate Guardian arrived on its territory and, having agreed to cooperate with the SCP Foundation undercover, acting as one of the Foundation's objects, he tracked down and after a large-scale battle expelled the Scarlet King to Overkill.

My Little Pony Friendship is Magic[]

Less than a year later, the Scarlet King escaped Overkill using his Scarlet Chaos Magic. After a long time of wandering around Unity, he drew attention to the My Little Pony Multiverse, which struck him with its innocence and the absence of Guardians in its territories. He was transported to the My Little Pony Friendship is Magic Universe during a period of time when Equestria had not even been founded yet, and all of its races lived separately in cold lands, when the Earth Ponies grew food as payment for creating the weather, and the Pegasus took a cut food. Unicorns also demanded payment for raising the sun and moon with magic. Neither tribe cared what was going on with the other.

Scarlet King watched everything and tried to figure out how this whole race would benefit him. As a result, he had the great idea to create his own cult of self-worship, but only on the condition that he and his cult were not mentioned in the history books of Equestria, keeping it secret from all curious people, including the then rulers of the three races, calling it the Scarlet Cult. For decades, his cult carried on secret but successful activities, bringing one victim in the form of a blood sacrifice to the Scarlet King once every month. Knowing that no evidence or even hints could be left behind, the Scarlet King ordered his cultists to destroy all traces of the Scarlet Cult's presence and ordered the cultists themselves to either commit suicide or send themselves into a dangerous situation to ensure the death of all cultists. He carried out this cleansing process only when he realized that active sacrifices to Yogu would attract the attention of the then rulers of the three races, and getting rid of all evidence, he waited until suspicion and rumors about the Scarlet Cult died down enough for the Scarlet King to continue his activities again of his Scarlet Cult.

These difficult but effective methods of promoting the Scarlet King's influence continued until a major blizzard came and caused food shortages, and until the population of all three races became dangerously low for the Scarlet Cult to continue its activities.

Deprived of food, the leaders of each pony tribe decided to meet to decide what to do next. The meeting, however, did not go well as they continued to argue with each other. After the meeting, three ghostly horses are shown looking down at the earth from a passage in the clouds; later they are called windigos. The chiefs returned to their aides and said that the meeting had gone poorly because the others had refused to cooperate. Cookie, at the instigation of the Scarlet King, tells Chancellor Hardhead that they have no food, and she exclaims: “I have a brilliant idea!” She decided that they needed to grow food somewhere else, and each leader came to the conclusion that they should find new lands. At this time, a young Slenderman, who had arrived in their settlements, showed up to all three races and offered them his help in the form of improving their lives in exchange for the construction of a “special portal” (a portal to the World of Fantastic Creatures), but the result was made from improvised non-magical materials. When all the leaders of the three races learned about Slenderman's true motives, which was to build a portal to the World of Fantastic Creatures for the complete colonization of all lands of the future Equestria by the race of Fantastic Creatures, the leaders decided that it was urgent to stop cooperation with Slenderman (and his subsequent expulsion from the Multiverse My Little Pony), and evacuate all its inhabitants to new lands. It is worth noting that the Scarlet King observed all this, and decided to use the distrust of the leaders of the three races towards Slenderman as an additional argument why they need to find a new land.

Pillars of Equestria trap Pony of Shadows and Scarlet King in Limbo.

After the successful development of Equestria, its population tripled in just 100 years. After this, Scarlet King again continued to rule his cult as before. This continued exactly until Princesses Celestia and Luna came to power in Equestria. Then Scarlet King began to conduct his cult even more secretly and make sacrifices less and less often.

Deciding that Celestia and Luna had interfered with his desires too much and for too long and realizing that he had already become powerful enough to directly travel between Multiverses, he decided to repel them and the local Guardians of Equestria, who called themselves the Pillars of Old Equestria. He corrupted the mind. and manipulated the Equestrian Stygian, taking advantage of his hatred of the Pillars of Old Equestria for not accepting him as a Pillar for saving Equestria from the Sirens and Voorhees. He created the dark sentient entity Pony of Shadows from his hatred of the Pillars of Old Equestria, after which they showed up together at the Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters and challenged the Pillars of Old Equestria. During the battle, the Pillars of Old Equestria lure their enemies to the Ponyhenge and use elemental talismans to seal the Pony of Shadows and Scarlet King into Limbo, sacrificing themselves in the process.

Season 7[]

Pony of Shadows and Scarlet King is released from limbo S7E25

Pony of Shadows and Scarlet King is released from Limbo.

In the episode "Shadow Play. Part 1", when Twilight's friends return with the talismans, Twilight arranges them and Star Swirl's journal in a hexagonal pattern on the rock formations of Ponyhenge. Twilight, Starlight, and Sunburst use their magic to cast the spell, and the magic successfully frees the Pillars of Old Equestria from Between Time. When Star Swirl regains consciousness and Twilight tells him what she and her friends did, Star Swirl becomes sad. He demands that they undo what they did and bring them back, but she says they can't. As dark clouds gather in the sky, a black amorphous creature appears, taking the form of a large horned pony with wings of smoke, and a creature with deer antlers, an eyeless smile, and a flying crown above its head. Twilight's spell returned not only the Pillars of Old Equestria, but also Pony of Shadows and Scarlet King.


In the episode "Shadow Play. Part 2", with their newfound freedom, Pony of Shadows and Scarlet King destroy the magical pillars of Ponyhenge and Star Swirl the Bearded's diary, preventing the Pillars of Old Equestria from imprisoning the two in Limbo again. Star Swirl, still too weakened to challenge the powerful entities. Pony of Shadows and Scarlet King attack him, but Twilight Sparkle and Starlight Glimmer fight them off. Star Swirl vows to banish the Pony of Shadows and Scarlet King again, but the latter are rebellious. Weakened by a thousand years of imprisonment, they escape to regain their strength.

Upon reaching Hallow Shades, friends and pillars challenge Pony of Shadows and Scarlet King. Suddenly, they find themselves in the Well of Shadow, where Stygian originally became one with the darkness, and the Pony of Shadows appears before them. Stygian despises the Pillars for turning their backs on him, and Twilight begins to believe that Starlight was right, that this is a friendship issue. The ponies use their spell and open a portal to Limbo, and the Pony of Shadows begins to be drawn in, and Scarlet King manages to escape from the gravity of Limbo, as a result of which he is thrown aside and disappears in an unknown direction.

After Pony of Shadows is banished to Limbo and t Stygian is cured of darkness, Scarlet King travels to the Human World, where he invites the Guardians of Friendship to "help" Princess Twilight with an "important matter." After this, he appears before the Guardians of Friendship and, having effortlessly defeated them, imprisoning them in obsidian cages, moves with them to Equestria. Appearing again before the Guardians of Harmony and the Pillars of Old Equestria, he offers them a deal: to surrender and give the magic of the Guardians of Harmony and the Pillars of Old Equestria to the Scarlet King in exchange for the lives of the Guardians of Friendship. Despite the fact that Star Swirl wanted to refuse the deal (because at first he assessed that the lives of foreigners posing as owners of Friendship Magic are insignificant in the scale of the fate of all of Equestria), he comes to his senses and agrees, as a result of which Scarlet King takes away magic not only from the Guardians Harmony and the Pillars of Old Equestria, but also from the Guardians of Friendship, after which he leaves Well of Shadow and rushes deeper into Equestria.

Despite the fact that the Guardians of Harmony, the Pillars of Old Equestria and the Guardians of Friendship manage to arrive in Canterlot before Scarlet King and warn Celestia and Luna of the impending danger, Scarlet King still succeeds, destroying almost all of Canterlot by sending a destructive ray at it. After that, with a snap of his finger, he transforms Equestria into a hellish space filled with chaos and scarlet shades. He imprisons Celestia, Luna and Cadence in obsidian cages, appropriating their magic for himself, and also turns Canterlot into a place of absolute chaos and destruction.

Scarlet King kills Redsect in front of Princess Twilight

Scarlet King kills Redsect in front of Princess Twilight.

As Twilight delves deeper into the story of Scarlet King, which she receives from Slenderman, who teamed up with them to defeat Scarlet King, she learns that it was because of the Scarlet King's whim that Equestria was FOUNDED, and that he spent centuries in a bloody ritual in the Scarlet Cult he founded, and then subjected all its members to forced suicide. to cover up the traces of his activities, just as he erased all data about himself in the history of Equestria. And Star Swirl also comes to terms with another terrible truth: it was Scarlet King who used Stygian as his submissive ally, creating the Pony of Shadows from his negative emotions. Going to Canterlot Castle, Sparkle meets Scarlet King, who at that moment kills his own creation, the Equestrian Redsect. Scarlet King viewed Equestrians solely as cattle, to be used, manipulated, and over which he could have unlimited power. He firmly believes that he is doing nothing wrong and that by performing blood rituals that reduce the population of Equestria, he is doing "his" race a valuable service.

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.
Princess Twilight Sparkle: Deny the truth about how our country was really founded? Deny the truth about how many creatures have died because of your sick desires?
Scarlet King: They are dead, forget about those who represented my Scarlet Cult. And you too must die, like the one who revealed the truth about my great activity.
Princess Twilight Sparkle: You vile, filthy bastard, murderer, sadist, monster! How much evil have you brought to the population of Equestria?...You damn freak.
Scarlet King: I am doing a great service to my country by clearing it of overpopulation. In addition, the needs of your god must be fully satisfied.
Princess Twilight Sparkle: Our destinies, our life paths, our minds, covering our tracks in the history of Equestria, Slenderman, who was involved in all this...
Scarlet King: These life paths are yours, you chose them yourself. Covering your tracks in the history of Equestria is a way of protecting your fragile and weak minds from what could destroy your Harmony. Slenderman is my unplanned “anomaly”. And I just used his appearance as an additional argument for your leaders why it was necessary to found Equestria.

~ Scarlet King to Princess Twilight Sparkle about the truth regarding the history of Equestria.

The result is a massive battle, during which Stygian dies at the hands of Scarlet King (when the former was almost able to rob Scarlet King of all his magic), before killing him by revealing to him the truth that he was the one who created the Pony of Shadows from Stygian's negative emotions in order to manipulate him. to achieve your goals. Slenderman suffers serious injuries after Scarlet King's powerful attack on himself. In addition, all the Guardian teams, due to their lack of magic, also begin to gradually lose, and as a result, they all receive multiple injuries from the devastating attack of Scarlet King. A weakened Princess Twilight declares that his actions will not go unpunished, and that one day his evil will be erased from Equestria. Despite this, Scarlet King laughs at Twilight's words, pointing out that no one would believe the now-dead Equestrian accusing the respected and honorable god and founder of Equestria of such a heinous crime, and hints that he will once again cover his tracks by destroying all evidence and traces of his crimes. Scarlet King calls Princess Twilight a "naive, stupid horse" told her that her interference, as well as the interference of Celestia and Luna, as well as the other Guardians in his plans will be punished and prepares to deal the final blow to them.

Moonlight shining on the Hollow Shades S7E26

Scarlet King's death.

Suddenly, The Gate Guardian descends from the sky, repelling Scarlet King's attack, and then enters into battle with him. During the battle, Scarlet King mockingly notes that for all the time that The Gate Guardian has been trying to find Scarlet King, he has only truly succeeded now. As a result, The Gate Guardian inflicts a serious wound on Scarlet King's chest, and then generates a destructive beam of pure Unified Energy from his sword, which destroys Scarlet King once and for all, putting an end to his horrific crimes against Equestria and Oneness.

Powers and Abilities[]

Scarlet King is an extremely powerful and dangerous foe whose many abilities support him in direct combat and make him more formidable the longer he fights. Although he does not use his true abilities very often, the Scarlet King is capable of fighting Guardians of Harmony, Guardians of Friendship, Pillars of Old Equestria, and Slenderman at the same time and could win in a direct fight. Even without his unique abilities, his Scarlet Chaos Magic is very dangerous, and the Scarlet King can change everything in Equestria with it.

  • Scarlet Chaos Magic: Scarlet King's most dangerous ability is to distort reality as he pleases, change matter to whatever he wants, remember attacks, and also reflect and counter any attack that was launched against him. It's really dangerous if he's fighting those he's already fought, the same tactic won't work on him more than once, no matter how well planned it is.
  • Beyond the possibilities: As one of the most powerful villains introduced in the Reaperverse, Scarlet King has overwhelming mastery in all major stats. Combined with his exceptional intelligence in battle, Scarlet King is capable of defeating most enemies without the use of any complex abilities.
  • High Physical Strength: Scarlet King has phenomenal strength, senses, accuracy and incredible speed, he can easily pierce a person's stomach with one blow. Scarlet King claims that his abilities are even stronger and faster than those of Slender Man and the Reaper of Worlds combined, as he defeated the latter in a clash of fast strikes between the two.
  • Exceptional Intelligence: Scarlet King is a gifted tactician and manipulator, demonstrating an understanding of battle and methods of manipulating others. Scarlet King is able to put his power to better use, as well as deduce critical facts from observations, such as Princess Twilight's status as the master of Friendship Magic. He was also able to manipulate Stygian reliably enough so that he would not doubt any of Scarlet King's actions. And it was because of his manipulation skills that he was able to force the leaders of the three races to found Equestria with a minimum of effort.

Personality[]

Scarlet King is, in every way, a loathsome god who seeks sadistic pleasure from the sacrifices of his Scarlet Cult. A terrifying, cruel, sadistic, and power-hungry monster who bullies the weaker inhabitants of Equestria and uses his powers of manipulation to not only erase all data about himself from Equestria's history, but also to change the very history of Equestria to his liking. He shows no concern for the Equestrians and views them only as livestock and consumables for his Scarlet Cult. Although he pretends that he wants to rule Equestria like a good monarch should, this is just a facade that he presents to his enemies in order to make them think that he has some standards, and at the same time hide his true intentions.

Although he claims that he is doing his race a great service by clearing them of overpopulation, since he believes that if he did not do so, the population of Equestria would simply slaughter themselves to avoid overpopulation, all of this is a complete lie, since he simply wanted to make his enemies think that his actions are justified by good intentions.

Despite the fact that he cleared the history of Equestria about all the data about himself and his Scarlet Cult in order not to traumatize the psyche of the inhabitants of Equestria, the Scarlet King did this absolutely not out of sincere concern for the health of the Equestrians, but from a personal method of managing Equestria, based on the desire for the Equestrians to live carefree, happily and in ignorance of this truth, while he would look down on their innocence and the harmony of their lives, knowing that they would all ultimately share the fate of victims and participants of his Scarlet Cult.

In addition to his delusions of grandeur regarding his influence over Equestria, Scarlet King hates those who he believes are the rulers of Equestria (in this case, Princesses Celestia, Luna, and Cadance), as well as hating the Guardians of Equestria (in this case, the Pillars of Old Equestria, as well as the Guardians of Harmony), and, in principle, all those who, in his opinion, are trying to unearth the truth about Equestria, and his activities in its territories, and how, as a result, they should all be destroyed first.

Also, Scarlet King has an extremely high level of conceit, as well as evaluating their actions. Since although he says that he radically changed the fate of Equestria with his actions, and in truth to a certain extent this is true, he says it in such a way that he supposedly created the entire My Little Pony universe, and that he has the right to decide, who can live in it and who can rule.

It is worth noting that the sacrifices did not give any power to Scarlet King. From this we can directly conclude that Scarlet King created the Scarlet Cult only to satisfy his sick desire to watch the suffering and death of innocents.

Quotes[]

I founded Equestria as proof that I was more than Crimson Chaos in the flesh. It is up to me to decide who has the right to live and who is the true ruler of this world!
~ Scarlet King
Scarlet King: If...If only, Stygian... If you were less human, then perhaps you would let the darkness that I created in you take over, and then you would become a more efficient ally!

Stygian: What?
Scarlet King: Did you think that the Pony of Shadows appeared out of nowhere? He is an entity created from your negative emotions that you experienced when you felt hatred towards Star Swirl and his comrades. I hoped that the Pony of Shadows would receive a reliable host so that he could help me in my affairs, and at the same time manipulate you so that you would not give up his darkness... Well, now I have learned another lesson for myself: a threat to my power may arise not only from the future, but also from the past, which I thought I had buried forever. You, the Stygian, will be destroyed and buried by the past again... just like I was when you and I were imprisoned in Limbo, and I had to rule Equestria from there. Disgusting memories.

~ Scarlet King of Stygian before killing him.
Princess Twilight: You tried to clear my mind, but I didn't forget anything.

Scarlet King: It’s a pity, you could have been made more submissive to my will. But alas, now the dead of the past are waiting for the new girl in her cramped coffin, who tried to resist me, but ultimately fell by my hand. But you don’t want to forget, you stubbornly cling to those with whom you have nothing to do. You are insignificant, honest and too human... just like Celestia and Luna.
Princess Twilight: Don't you dare talk about them! You don't know them!
Scarlet King: Your princesses were wretched. They mocked my status as your god, posing as the true rulers of Equestria. But in the end, they, like you, will get what they deserve...eventually.
Princess Twilight: I swear on my life that someday the powers that be will find a way to deal with you. I expect it to be as fair and cruel as possible for someone like you!
Scarlet King: Seriously? A stupid, inexperienced Princess of "Friendship" shouting absurd insults at the true ruler of Equestria. Good God, Twilight, who would believe you? Unfortunately, I have a hard time believing it myself.
Princess Twilight: (in a weakening voice) You are a cruel creature! Such evil will be erased from our and other worlds.
Scarlet King: (laughs) By whom? For what? Stupid naive horse! Your disobedience to your god will be punished! Now disappear. Like all those whom you could not save before!

~ Princess Twilight to Scarlet King before the latter prepares to kill her, the Guardians of Harmony, the Guardians of Friendship, the Pillars of Old Equestria, and Slenderman.
Scarlet King: How heroes who consider themselves angels in the flesh do not want to get their hands dirty with blood. Just think about this - if I had not carried out sacrifices in my country on behalf of the Scarlet Cult, then all of Equestria would eventually have become overpopulated, and as a result, my entire race would have slaughtered itself in order to avoid this very overpopulation. I am only doing a huge service to my country by clearing it of “extra garbage”.

Princess Twilight: Liar!!!
Scarlet King: I'll tell you straight - you upset me. You are the same petty, meticulously curious and honesty-obsessed girl... just like your mentor, Princess Celestia... I really ask you, Sparkle, don’t be like that. At least once.

~ Scarlet King to Princess Twilight about his "huge service" to Equestria.

Trivia[]

  • He, Slenderman, General Chryzalis, Wight Lord, Dark The Maddened, and Plunderboid are the most influential villains of the My Little Pony Reperverse, as they inextricably influenced the fate of not only Equestria, but also many other countries outside of Equestria.
  • Basically, he (along with Slenderman and the Dark The Maddened) 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 Chrysalis, 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 Dana 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 Madman, 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.
  • All those who were sacrificed to Scarlet King saw the image of Scarlet King in front of them a moment before their death. This is explained by the fact that Scarlet King thus mocked his victims in a manner that showed himself to them, knowing with sadistic pleasure that they would no longer be able to tell anyone the truth about him and his Scarlet Cult.
    Redsect

    Redsect

    The Equestrian whom Scarlet King kills in front of Princess Twilight during their dialogue is Redsect, the only Equestrian created directly by Scarlet King's powers. His name is a derivative of the words "red" and "bug", referring to his cutie mark of two ladybugs.
  • Scarlet King's poem contains metaphorical expressions that hint not only at what he did to the people of Equestria to keep the truth from them, but also at his personal nature. The expression "load-bearing reasons" is a hint that he cleaned up the history of Equestria so that all the inhabitants of his country would remain ignorant and live peacefully, without a burden on their souls. The expression "creative tear" hints at his narcissistic admiration for his strength and his cruelty, and also unequivocally hints at his hypocrisy towards others.
