El Rey

El Rey, the King of Nowhere, is the main antagonist of the Nomad of Nowhere series. He is first mentioned in Season 1, Episode 02.

Backstory
El Rey is a ruthless man with a tragic story behind him. A story of how a once benevolent man became corrupted with power, and stole all the magic of Nowhere for himself (Season 1, Episode 06; "El Rey").

Once upon a time, El Rey approached a tower guarded by many obstacles: skeletons, mechanical traps, flesh-eating thorns and archers. When he reached the top, he found a magical crown and with its power, he became the ruler of Nowhere.

For many years, El Rey used his magic to help his people. Then one day, weakened by old age, he discovered his magic has stopped working. He sought the council of another magic user, to see what could be done. By the power of a ritual, his crown devoured the man El Rey sought council from, restoring his youth and power.

Afterwards, El Rey started stealing magic from his subjects one by one, until there was almost none left. Eventually the people rioted against him. With the power of stolen magic, El Rey turned one of his knights into a Minotaur, a creature with enormous strength, who fought against the uprising people. He burned cities to the ground, establishing El Rey's rule once more.

After dealing with the rebellion, El Rey made sure the people forgot how he got his power in the first place. He started rumors that magic was a dangerous threat, and all remaining magic users must be brought to him.

The last person in Nowhere with magic was the Nomad, and El Rey made him the most wanted man in his kingdom, waiting for the day when bounty hunters would bring him before the king, so he could steal the last drops of free magic in the land.
