===Appearance===
The King of Keys usually appears as an inhumanly tall skeleton, whose arms and chest is drapped with many iron chains. On the end of those dangle keys of all shapes and sizes, and from his shoulders and ribs hemp robes with puppets hang. In the center of his ribcage on left side, a chest hangs suspended on five chains. The Skull of The King of Keys never speaks, only grinning.
In dreams, he is known to appear in the shape of a white faced baboon, crawling with ants.
As Heartless Jack, he is described as a gentlemen thief, with a shotwound in in his torso and no skin on his face.
===Principles===
He also represents combat of the mental or verbal variety, ambition, and usurption of power through guile
{{Aspect|Knock }} for revealing and uncovering, {{Aspect|Winter }} for safeguarding and suppressing, Knife {{Aspect|Edge}} for mental strife and usurptionusurpation
