Piccolo Daimao (DBZ LAU)

"Piccolo, king of the world. It has a nice ring to it."

- Piccolo Daimao

Piccolo Daimao, (also known as the Demon King, the Dark Lord or simply just Lord) was a charismatic namekian warrior and tyrant who briefly reigned as the King of the Earth.

Early life
Piccolo Daimao was born on the planet Earth in c. 542 to the Namekians Daimao and Yokubue shortly after his father's spaceship landed in the frigid Yunzabit Heights. His mother had died during the journey to Earth, however, he and his twin brother Komabue both hatched successfully. The brothers spent their life with their father alone from youth through adolescence and were never told of their Namekian heritage.

According to Mr. Popo, his brother confessed that he had no memory of how he and his twin-brother came upon Yunzabit Heights. As the brothers grew up, Piccolo often looked to the sky for an explanation of their origins. After many years the disappointed Namekian children eventually left Yunzabit Heights to explore the rest of Earth, but with false hope, would continue to return on occasion but never found anything out of the ordinary. Eventually, their father through some circumstance decided that he wanted to be the Guardian of Earth and the three finally left for good.

Return to Earth
Some 40 years later, at the conclusion of the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament, King Piccolo returned to Earth with his son's and soon after a human named Krillin Bongo was murdered by Piccolo's son, Tambourine. It was later revealed that King Piccolo was seeking to destroy all existing martial artists to prevent any challengers from defeating him. Piccolo also sought the Dragon Balls to restore his youth before taking over the world again. In pursuit of these goals, Piccolo temporarily allied himself with Emperor Pilaf and his gang. After Cymbal and Tambourine were mysteriously killed, King Piccolo encountered the young Goku Son and in the ensuing fight Goku was seemingly killed.

After a battle in which Muten Roshi died, King Piccolo eventually summoned Shenron. After killing Chao Zu, he had his wish for youth granted. Soon after, King Piccolo then killed Shenron to prevent anyone else from using the dragon against him. King Piccolo next invaded the king of the world's castle and took the king hostage. The next day while about to leave for the doomed West City, King Piccolo was confronted again by Goku, who narrowly defeated him by punching him clean through his midsection.

With all but one of his sons dead and he himself mortally wounded, King Piccolo telepathically contacted the young Piccolo Jr., commanding his son to exact revenge on Goku.
