Bal Onkled

King Bal Onkled was the last Usurper King in Akkalan history, ruling for nearly a century before his assassination by Lord Kiro Muno. His death is considered the end of Akkala and the beginning of the Kingdom of Hyrule and the First Golden Age.

History
Bal was born to House Onkled, a minor noble House within the Kingdom of Hyrule. An Akkalan Duke, he sought the crown for himself, and launched a successful coup against King Berrymark Harkinian I in 2939 BG, ruling for nearly a century until his assassination in 2841 BG by the noble Lord Kiro Muno, a vassal of House Harkinian. He is notable as the last Hylian monarch to be assassinated in recorded history.

Trivia

 * Bal Onkled is based on the infamous character Duke Onkled from the Philips-CD game The Legend of Zelda: Wand of Gamelon. Onkled is popular among the Zelda community for the bizarre low quality cutscenes featured in the game.
