King Boris is the self-proclaimed "King of Zombies".
Story[]
COMIC
As we can see in the comics,King Boris has a kind of cult, people who adores him, they call him “King Boris”,and they follow his ideals no matter what.Apparently created a community in ST. George’s Church, just in the second day of the virus.He kidnapped a Trader,a woman,who he and Sarah were going to kill.But,the woman was saved by a sniper,another woman,who ripped Boris ear apart with a single shot.The sniper called for saving that woman,and not killing her.The woman apparently achieved her mission.
GAME
After obtaining the Antibiotics from the Nursery and heading towards the gas station, a young girl begs for help over the Gamepad, saying that she and two others are trapped in St. George's Church with limited supplies. Despite the Prepper's protests, the Survivor heads to the Church. Upon arriving, however, they are ambushed and knocked unconscious by two men, Presumably Boris and an accomplice named Tim.
(He calls the Survivor the "offer" suggesting he may think the Zombies discriminate against people he deems unimportant)
It is revealed that "King" Boris has been capturing survivors and running them through a gauntlet where they must face a number of infected, solely for the entertainment of him and his numerous accomplices. He jeers at the Survivor's attempts to make it through, playing carnival music and taking on the personality of a deranged entertainer. This proves to be his downfall, however: the bright lights and loud microphone draw the infected to his location, and he and his cohorts are devoured. Before he dies, he yells "Do you know who I am?!", showing that he truly believes himself the ruler of zombies.
Multiplayer[]
In the Multiplayer mode, one person plays as King Boris himself, and the other as a Survivor. He must be careful as he has limited zombies to deploy at a time, and the Survivor gets bonus items after killing enough of his minons. What Boris must do changes from mode to mode.
- In Capture the Flag, King Boris must use his Grunt Zombies to capture the flags will using his other zombies to stall/kill the survivor be he/she gets it. The round ends after 1 of the 2 reaches the win limit.
- In Kill mode, The king of zombies must kill the survivor, but he can't just
- place as many as he wants, as survivor earns points by killing them (making Explosive Hunters a very risky zombie) The round ends when King Boris kills the survivor.
- In Survival mode, King borris must kill the survivor ASAP to win. The round ends when the survivor is dead.
Trivia[]
- King Boris is voiced by Nick Boulton.
- King Boris is the only character in the game who's real name is never revealed.
- King Boris, although not likely by intention, is similar to the Psychopaths of the Dead Rising franchise. Boris is a boss-like encounter who appears to be either evil and/or insane, which can apply to almost every boss from Capcom's other big Zombie Franchise.
- King Boris is the only named character who is in any way playable.
- The fact he had a SA-80 implies he may have had military experience or captured a British soldier - a fact the Prepper comments on.
- The prepper treats the explosive hunter (or Inhuman Bomb, as he calls it) as if it's a new zombie type - it's quite possible that King Boris was meant to be encountered much earlier in the storyline at some point in development.
- King Boris has to be defeated in every playthrough, as Doctor Knight won't finish his research until King Boris has been dealt with.
