Biography:
Just because something is illegal doesn't mean it won't happen; in King's case, that's human testing. After signing a waiver and submitting himself for a "research project" on people with his particular physical endurance, King instead found himself held against his will like a rat in a cage, and was subjected to inhumane and dangerous chemical testing that changed his body and broke his mind. The facility was unable to contain him and he was able to break free, but the damage was done.
To protect himself from the trauma of his experience, he has subconsciously developed a secondary persona he calls the "Big Guy", who shields him from the truth to keep him together--usually with a muzzled snarl and wild eyes. He no longer remembers his life from before, except that the ring calls to him, and he needs to find her... so climbing to the top might be the best chance he has at discovering what that means. Who she is... or was.
The Lab Rat King will stop at nothing to escape this maze and crawl out on the top of the pile, even if it means pulverizing anyone who stands in the way.
2021 Update: Having found his wife, Grace King, and discovered he's the father of a 2 year old, King's life is slowly unfolding in front of and behind him. He's still looking back, however, dodging the hounds of the people who did this to him... who knows when they'll catch up?
Alignment: Heel
Entrance Music: "Hail to the King" by Avenged Sevenfold
Entrance Description:
The screens display a flickering, static-struck screen with the crowned rat logo, bone-white over a black and red spattered background as the first riffs of "Hail to the King" begin playing; when the first heavy thrums of rhythm guitar in the music strike, the logo shudders and glitches, electricity running through it from left to right like a broken heartbeat. Below the screens the entrance is flooded with rolling fog cast in blood-red light and white strobe lights that match the beat of the song and of the electric shock waves on the screen.
Where once the Lab Rat King would enter in chains, he now walks freely, his slow and deliberate steps taking him down toward the ring. There's something bestial about the way he moves, like an animated gargoyle; he carries the Ultraviolent Championship belt on his shoulder, which bears a visible bite-mark indent in the leather strap. He's accompanied by his wife and valet, Grace King, who seems to keep him from lunging at the jeering crowd with nothing but a hand on his arm and a smirk of her own.
Once he reaches the ropes, Grace cranes up to give him a kiss on the muzzle as she takes the belt from him, and he moves almost animalistic onto the mat, standing up slowly. If his opponent is already there, he stares them down, still except for the swell of his breath; if not, he stalks the perimeter of the ropes, like a predator waiting to hunt.

Advanced Match Writing Aides(Optional)
King is a patient fighter; he knows he's slow and lacks agility, so he rarely burns energy trying that angle. He can move fast when he absolutely has to, but only in very short, very occasional bursts. He uses his strength, size and stamina very much to his advantage, and tends toward grabbing or lifting his opponent if he has the opportunity (particularly when rushed/charged), which is relatively easy to do with his stature. He's opportunistic and watches his opponent carefully to find the best openings. In that sense he can be smarter than he initially appears and is difficult to surprise.
However, if his opponent attempts or succeeds at dislodging or removing his leather muzzle, he habitually flies into a rage and become far less forward-thinking. This approach comes with a risk as he gets vicious and aggressive, but he also drops his guard. He can also be easily provoked with a well-targeted taunt.
King also tends to shout and ramble while in the ring--it sounds like violent, nonsensical gibberish at first (and sometimes it really is), but a second pass can draw meaning from what he says. (As an example, he might shout "THE VORACIOUS VULTURES OF FEAR CIRCLE INSIDE YOUR HEAD; FEED THEM OR BLEED!" which means, roughly, "I can tell you're scared, listen to that instinct or pay the price.")
