Wasp King

“	A King holds absolute power over his people. He is not meant to serve... He is meant to be served! To command! To possess! To enjoy! That is the privilege of royalty! And it shall all be mine!	„
	~ Wasp King

“	...Yes...YES! This power will suit me just fine! I will deliver you to your DOOM!	„
	~ The Everlasting King

Background

Hoaxe, better known as the Wasp King, is the main antagonist of Bug Fables. He usurped the Wasp Kingdom, plotting to steal The Everlasting Sapling and use its power to conquer all of Bugaria.

Hoaxe was abandoned by his parents in the middle of the Dead Lands, before he spoke his first words. Only through a miracle did he survive to reach Bugaria, where he managed to blend into the Wasp Kingdom's populace. He had no friends, and no respect. All he had was his job: cleaning up trash. One day, he vanished from the Wasp Kingdom. Nobody cared. When he returned, unrecognized by all who ostracized him, he commanded such power and charisma...They had no choice but to serve him.

Hoaxe was an orphaned Wasp Mimic Fly, abandoned by his parents in the middle of the Dead Lands at a very young age. They did so because they were fleeing, and abandoning him would be the only way to keep him alive. Although he survives this ordeal, Hoaxe still has to spend most of his life fighting Dead Landers until he reaches the nearby Wasp Kingdom, blending in with its population as an unappreciated janitor.

He encounters Yale on Metal Island, who sells him the Ancient Crown, which amplifies Hoaxe's innate magical abilities. When he returned to the Wasp Kingdom, his power was so great that all Wasps began to serve him. He then uses his newly acquired position of authority to begin a search for the Everlasting Sapling.

At the end of Chapter 4: Mysterious Lost Sands, he commands an attack on the Ant Kingdom City with his troops, and successfully steals one half of the Ancient Key, from Leif. Before he can take the other three artifacts from Elizant II, Maki appears, forcing the Wasp King to retreat.

After Maki and Team Snakemouth leave on their expedition to retrieve the stolen artifact, the Wasp King uses a drilling machine to sneak back into the Ant Kingdom. By the time they return, the Wasp King is already in the process of stealing the remaining three artifacts. Elizant II surrenders the artifacts to Hoaxe, and he makes his escape, heading for the Dead Lands.

Sacrificing many of his troops, the Wasp King advances through the Dead Lands. After losing a fight to Team Snakemouth, he rushes to unseal the Everlasting Sapling, only to find out that it has wilted. Desperate for power, the Wasp King eats the sapling's remaining leaf, transforming him into The Everlasting King. He uses a column of fire to destroy the rest of the sapling.

Despite utilizing all of the Ancient Artifacts and the life-giving power of the Everlasting Sapling, he is defeated by Team Snakemouth. At the conclusion of the battle, he metamorphoses into a small tree, devoid of magic.
