Storm King

The Storm King is an albino satyr-like creature and the main antagonist of My Little Pony: The Movie.

Appearance
The Storm King is portrayed as an ape-like creature with hoofed legs; he sports thick white fur over most of his body, his skin is grey, he has pale-blue eyes and three digits on each hand. He also sports a long tail like that of a monkey and his legs end in hooves like those of a goat.

The Storm King's attire consists of a suit of black armour covering his torso, shoulders and crotch. He also has black metal bangles on his wrists and forelegs and wears a jagged black crown on his head. He carries a black staff adorned with a glowing cyan crystal.

Biography
Before the events of the film, the Storm King had his crew of Storm Creatures, his servant Grubber and his second in command Strife. One day, he and his army raided the kingdom of Abyssinia from Panthera where he stole several treasures in the castle, such as the Malachite of Misfortune. That night, his ship was boarded by Captain Celaeno who was secretly being aided by Strife. Enraged by this betrayal, the Storm King threw Strife off the ship and named Grubber as his new second in command.

The Storm King later attacked Captain Celaeno's ship and took his revenge on Strife by throwing him overboard. He then forced Celaeno and her crew to work for him as cargo haulers. Some time later, he would encounter a unicorn with a broken horn called Tempest Shadow, promising to return her horn to normal in exchange for her service to him.

My Little Pony: The Movie
In the movie, The Storm King acts as the main antagonist, but despite that, his role in the movie is relatively minor as the story focuses more on the friendships that Twilight Sparkle and her friends forge as they seek allies to help them.

He first appears when the Storm Guards use a communication spell to talk to Tempest Shadow and tells him that he will have enough power to fill the Staff of Sacanas and he needs it to drain the magic of the alicorn princesses. He warns her that when the plan is ready, he will repair Tempest's horn, but threatens her with severe punishment should the plan fail.

Although his role in the film is minor, the Storm King is mentioned several times in the film already being depicted in stained glass windows and posters, making reference to him and even showing what he wants and does not appear until the climax of the film.

Once Tempest Shadow manages to capture Twilight Sparkle, he arrives at Canterlot Palace and uses his staff to drain the magic of the princesses, consuming their power. As soon as he sees the Mane Six with their new friends facing his army, he creates a tornado with his staff with the purpose of destroying Equestria. Tempest Shadow reminds the Storm King about his promise to repair her horn, however he reveals that he was only ever using her. He then attacks Tempest Shadow but Twilight saves her and knocks the Staff of Sacanas out of his hands. His anger spent, the Storm King begins to attack the Mane Six as they rush to grab the Staff staff to stop the tornado, however in the process, he and Twilight are sucked into the storm. He survives it and prepares to finish off the ponies once and for all by turning them to stone, however Tempest Shadow sacrifices herself to save them, charging at the Storm King as he casts his spell. As Tempest strikes the Storm King, the spell is cast and both of them are caught in the magical blast and petrified. However, the Storm King topples over the balcony and shatters when he hits the ground.
