* RulerProtagonist: The first issue starts just after Kull's claimed the Valusian throne, and his role as a ruler is key to most subsequent plots. TheConspiracy wants him deposed and tensions with other nations repeatedly bring him challenges that can't solely be resolved by a barbarian's brawn.

* KingIncognito: While out hunting, Kull and a stranger both shoot the same stag. The other man, a foreigner, assumes that Kull is a peasant. Kull, in turn, accuses him of being a poacher. Even when the stranger mentions that he's travelling to meet the king, Kull doesn’t reveal his identity. And it's not until later that Kull realised the stranger H'Nar is Regent Prince of his own land, and also chose not to reveal his nobility.
