The White King
The White King is a chess piece who appears in Lewis Carroll's 1871 fantasy novel Through the Looking-Glass. He is one of the earliest chess pieces that are introduced into the story, and he is the most important character within the story at least as far as the game is concerned. Although he does not interact with Alice as much as the White Queen does, Alice becomes a pawn on his side of the Chess-game, and he is therefore essential to her success.
