The Assassin's Blade:
The King only has a small part in The Assassin's Blade, but his stain is seen throughout the book. He is mentioned in The Assassin and the Pirate Lord, because Celaena is thinking about how the slaves are often rebels from Eyllwe, which Adarlan has conquered. As punishment for rebelling, if they are not killed outright, he sentences them to labor camps, that will eventually result in their deaths. Those that escape that, are sold on the slave market.
In The Assassin and the Underworld, he is mentioned several times, because he is in talks with Leighfer to build a road to open up trade between Rifthold and Fenharrow, and make the transport of slaves easier.
We don't actually get a glimpse of the King until the end of The Assassin and the Empire, when he meets Celaena for the first time, and sentences her to Endovier for the multiple murders she has committed. As an added twist of cruelty, he added the stipulation that the guards as Endovier would need to keep her alive for as long as possible, so she could feel the true extent of the punishment.
