King Guardia XXXIII

King Guardia XXXIII is an important character from Chrono Trigger. The King of, well, Guardia, and father of Princess Nadia (aka Marle), he's a bit of a prick. Fortunately, there's a sidequest where you can make him less prick-y.

In Boo's Pizza, King Guardia appears as representative of his Kingdom to the IPCF, which Guardia was a reluctant member of. He was summoned by Take Mushterston to a meeting between the IPCF members (of which there were three at the time, not counting Kooploz Enterprises) via a phone call answered by Gaspar, who was now Phone Operator of Time.

Though never outright stated, the reason for Guardia joining the IPCF was for protection against the IFPC, of which Guardia was implied to be a former member of at some point or another. Frederick Kooploz was obviously open to more members of his supernational entity (heh, Entity), and so the mutually-beneficial partnership was organized.

AwdryFan considered using X-Death's bombing of the IPCF headquarters as a means of killing off King Guardia for extra drama, but this ultimately went nowhere. Besides, he's more likely to die of his "HIGH CHOLESTEROL!!!" than a collapsing building.
