You are the king of a great kingdom. Ambassadors from all over the world arrive at your palace every day, and your name is known beyond the borders of the realm. But is your name said as the name of a wise and honest king or as the name of an evil tyrant? Do people love you or hate you?
You can choose what kind of king to be, the only thing already decided is that you are a king, with a lot of money, a lot of lands and a lot of men. And a lot of power.

How did you get your power? Are you the son of the previous king or did you seize power by violence?
Because of your power and rank, people who talk to you tend to feel submissive, and not go against your commands. This applies to both commoners and other nobles. But you have to be careful, the revolution could break out at any moment, so you have to make sure that no one turns against you, will you do it by hook or by crook? You have to be careful, because other nobles might not accept a despot.
