Keeper of the Lost Cities Wiki

King Dimtar is the king of the Ogres. He rules over the kingdom of Ravagog, which used to be the Gnome's capital city, Serenvale. Like all ogres, he is able to phase-shift and use grusom-daj. In Everblaze, King Dimitar comes to “pay his respects” at Kenric's planting. In Neverseen, he worked with the Neverseen to unleash a deadly-to-the-Gnomes plague in order to gain the Council's attention. As revealed in Lodestar, he and his subjects are not involved.

Appearance[]

The only clothing he wears looks like riveted transparent underwear, and his body is shaped like a hairless gorilla on a massive number of steroids, with skin that reminds Sophie of silkie skin (a type of animal skin in the series). He used to have enormous glittering yellow stones set into the centers of his stretched-out earlobes, but Keefe took one during a duel in Book 6, leaving him with only one. His bald head is marked with black, squiggly patterns. He has a gigantic bulbous nose, gray pointed teeth, and two silver orbs of eyes tucked among the lumps and bumps of his face. His droopy chin seems to connect directly to his muscle-bound shoulders, giving him a permanent hunch. He also has black fingernails, which are sharp and deadly.

Book 3: Everblaze[]

Dimitar was angry when Foster tried to Mind read at Kenric’s funeral, demanding Sophie be punished. He was insisting on sending Sophie to Exillium until Lady Cadence,Sophie’s Polyglot mentor at Foxfire, insisted on peace and an alternative punishment. It was because of King Dimitar's demands for punishment that the Council had Dex make the Skill issue that they forced Sophie to wear. When at Kenric's funeral, when Sophie poked around in his head, he used the grusom-daj, an ogre mental trick that can cause as much pain as an Inflictor.

Book 4: Neverseen[]

When Sophie infiltrated the ogre city of Ravagog, Keefe had an audience with King Dimitar. This was a distraction so that Sophie and Fitz could read King Dimitar's mind and learn about the cure for the disease affecting the gnomes.

Book 5: Lodestar[]

When a group of ogres attacks Havenfield, King Dimitar claims that he has nothing to do with it and keeps insisting so at the Peace Summit. According to Keefe, the Neverseen have given Dimitar a chance to prove himself, which he accordingly failed. When Fintan shows up at the Peace Summit, he is seen shooting glares and completely disagreeing with the elf. Dimitar makes an offer to completely remove his species from the others if he would be left alone. "All I (Dimitar) want -- all I came to this summit to achieve -- is a treaty that allows my people to remain separate. Leave us our lands and let us be, and I guarantee you'll never see or hear from us again. Draft a treaty that specifies that and I'll sign in a heartbeat." pg. 635 (Hardcover copy)

Book 6: Nightfall[]

When Lady Gisela has Sophie and Keefe deliver her message to King Dimitar, Dimitar challenged Keefe to a duel. The first one to draw blood three times would be declared the winner. Keefe won. The message stated that Dimitar should assign Ro, Dimitar's daughter, to be Keefe's personal bodyguard, as well as asked him for the starstone hairpin. In Book 6: Nightfall, it is said that King Dimitar slashed his daughter, Princess Ro, creating a scar that shows her mark of leadership.

Book 8: Legacy[]

King Dimitar does not appear in this book. He is mentioned before Sophie does her second ability reset when Keefe renames “almost dying” “Fostering.”

Book 8.5: Unlocked[]

King Dimitar does not appear in this book.

Book 9: Stellarlune[]

King Dimitar is in danger in this book. Ro heads to Ravagog to warn King Dimitar that Cadfael is threatening his throne. He is also mentioned in the book when they discuss Ro’s scars with Lord Cassius.

Relationships[]

Queen Gundula[]

  • (Wife)

Sophie didn't realize that King Dimitar had a queen as well, and Lady Cadence stated that he chose to be the type of ruler he was, meaning that Queen Gundula did not accompany him on foreign meetings and the like. This was revealed in Book 6: Nightfall.

Romhilda[]

  • (Mother)

Little is known about Dimitar's mother, but some infer that he loved her very much, as he named his daughter after her.

Ro (Romhilda)[]

  • (Daughter)

Dimitar slashed his daughter on her back, which is Ro's mark of leadership. Ro once said to Keefe "Just because you have daddy issues, doesn't mean we all do", implying that she and Dimitar are on good terms and rather close in relationship.

Lady Cadence Talle[]

  • (Ally/Frequent Advocate)

Lady Cadence lived in Ravagog for many years and is one of the only elves to have received a Markchain, signaling she is allowed there. Her relationship with Dimitar has been tumultuous, but they have a mutual respect that holds strong.

Bo (Botros)[]

  • Son-in-law

Bo is a Mercadir for King Dimitar, suggesting that King Dimitar trusts him to higher extent than most of his warriors. King Dimitar is the one who married Ro and Bo.

Trivia[]

  • The name Dimitar means “Earth Mother.”
  • King Dimitar’s mind is described as being "fluffy" or "sinking into a giant marshmallow".

Quotes[]

—King Dimitar, in Neverseen

“Told you he’d be crawling to the Physician.”

—King Dimitar, in Nightfall
