In ' Bun Bun,' Flame King is freed from the lantern by Bun Bun, and goes off to assemble his armies to retake the Fire Kingdom. After Flame Princess refuses, however, Flame Lord and Flame King have a fistfight and end up imprisoned in the lantern together.
In ' The Red Throne,' the Flame Lord frees him in return for Flame Princess' hand in marriage. In ' Earth & Water,' he was overthrown by his daughter and Cinnamon Bun and placed in the lantern where he once held his daughter. After he demands that Finn and Jake be executed for apparently disguising 'treason' as a play, Torcho and Furnius (his nephew and niece, respectively) are discovered as the true conspirators, and they reveal that Flame King killed his own brother (Furnius's and Torcho's father) so that he could take the throne. He later appears in ' Ignition Point,' viewing a play which turns out to be Finn and Jake trying to warn him about an intended regicide. After he thinks Finn kills Jake, he releases his daughter and promptly reveals that she is evil. He first appears in ' Incendium.' Jake's mission was to impress him in order to convince him to let his daughter date Finn. Keith David Flame King (also known as the Chipmunk King) is the former ruler of the Fire Kingdom and Flame Princess' father.
