History in The Forgotten Context
King Vegeta is the king the entire Saiyan race and father of his son, Prince Vegeta. King Vegeta is also the leader of the Saiyan Army,

. His two most powerful subordinates, Nappa, and Layeeck were chosen to assist in this.

It was King Vegeta's idea that, with enough training, the two children would be able to surpass him and eventually Frieza. But fearful of Nappa's inability to keep secrets, King Vegeta kept this thought to himself. Indeed, Layeeck didn't even learn of it until the very day Frieza blew up Planet Vegeta. But the King's charisma was able to convince even his paranoid friend that attacking Frieza, that making a final stand was the only way to regain the honor that the tyrant so callously took from them.

A notable trait of King Vegeta is his fierce protection of his son. While this may not be immediately evident in their subtle interactions, this was one of the large motivators for King Vegeta to attack Frieza.

Techniques
King Vegeta's power is only showcased during his attack on Frieza's ship. Only the techniques witnessed there and in the rest of the series will be mentioned:
 * Royal Galick - The King's Seal
 * Ki Blast - basic energy blast
 * Flight - ki based flight
 * Dispersing Blast - common dissolver

Trivia

 * King Vegeta is the first character introduced in The Forgotten.
 * Despite being the strongest and most powerful Saiyan up to his death, King Vegeta rarely showcases that power. The only time he does in this series is in his brief fight against Frieza... in which he dies immediately.
