Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })This character is the leader or even "king" of all the homeless, indigent, and castoffs in a city. Either by dint of age, respect, or obstinate madness he has authority over the homeless. The king may be a crime boss type, a mayor who keeps their society running, The Fagin leading a group of street urchins, or an actual king who holds court. Regardless of how much wealth he has, he always stays purposefully poor and in a homeless lifestyle. More often than not, Muggles in the know will respect him and even ask him for help or Wisdom from the Gutter, assuming he doesn't have a higher education equivalent knowledge. Usually these guys are also suffering a mental illness that makes them a Cloud Cuckoo Lander. However, an especially beloved king (it helps if they aren't violent) may have their delusion humored by a whole city. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })See also/compare The Fagin and Wasteland Elder. For a normal king who is now homeless, see Fallen Princess. This trope is almost Always Male, hence the use of masculine pronouns. Examples: |

In The Legend of the Condor Heroes, the Beggars' Sect are led by Hong Qigong, an old glutton who is also one of the top martial artists in the wulin. It takes quite a few delicious dishes made by Huang Rong (Lotus Huang in the English translation) to teach both her and Guo Jing the special moves of the gang. | |

An early episode of Bones has a murder occur in the flood run-off tunnels underneath Washington, D.C. The primary witness/suspect is a homeless man who lives in the tunnels, and has a clear position of leadership and respect among the homeless community down there. Brennan has to remind Booth that the homeless man does have authority in the tunnels, so Booth can't just rough up or intimidate the guy like he would normally do. | |

In Runaways, The Swell thinks that he's a King of the Homeless because he leads the Street Arabs gang. In reality, he's a Smug Snake who's only survived as long as he has because the larger gangs didn't see any point in killing him. This changes after he tries to sell the Runaways to the leaders of the Sinners — who just happen to be Dale and Stacey Yorkes, two of the Runaways' enemies. After learning that their future selves were killed by the Runaways, the Yorkes decide to liquidate the Street Arabs, destroying The Swell's tiny "kingdom". | |

Man-E-Faces in He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (2021) was the one-man acting troupe for the Eternos royal court. He was eventually cast out by King Randor's father (who never liked the theater much) and eventually became "King of the Lower Wards", providing shelter and stolen supplies to the poor and neglected of Eternos. After meeting him in person and seeing how much good he was doing for those he neglected, King Randor gives Man-E-Faces true legal authority to continue his good work, naming himself "King of the Above" and Man-E "King of the Below". | |

Cheng Pa, the leader of the Beggar's Guild in some of the Judge Dee stories. Despite his laid-back personality, he's just as capable a fighter as the judge's henchmen (one scene has him settle a dispute between two beggars by picking them both up and knocking their skulls together). He's also a civil force to be reckoned with: anybody who pisses him off can look forward to an army of filthy hoboes parked on their business' doorstep, driving customers away without any violence or effort on their part. He also has a major crush (hinted to be reciprocated) on a Mongolian wrestling champion, but can't make an official proposal due to his position, while she won't respond to anything but an official proposal. | |

In Terra Ignota, Mycroft doesn't hold any official title, but the other Servicers (people sentenced to slavery as penance for extreme crimes and forbidden from owning property) follow his instructions anyway. Mycroft has protected and fed them and campaigned for more little luxuries for them, so they deeply respect him in spite of his reputation as the most infamous serial killer in living memory (now reformed). | |

The Outcaste in the Spaceforce novels are people who have been convicted of serious crimes by the Taysan Empire, and stripped of their caste — which means they have no way of earning a living and typically starve to death. In the second book, Deadline, we meet a former royal bodyguard, Calia, who was punished for the heinous offence of marrying a servant, and has organised the rest of the Outcaste into a secret community. | |

Clopin in The Hunchback of Notre Dame is something along the lines of a beggar king. He is a beggar, conman, and pickpocket, whose skill has earned him the leadership position among the Romani, and lower class citizens. He decides judgement of Trespassers in the Court of Miracles. Clopin's main redeeming factor is his genuine concern for all his "subjects", and willingness to put his life on the line to help them. | |

Silent Movie has a gag where Mel Funn — having just fallen off the wagon, hard — buys an absolutely massive wine bottle and stumbles into a back alley. All the homeless in the alley gather around Mel and hail him as "the king of the winos". | |

The Beggar King, leader of the Beggar Fraternity in Legends of the Wulin. This being a Wuxia game, he's obviously a badass Kung Fu master, and in fact winning a martial arts tournament in which everyone is open to participate is one of the requirements for being the King's successor. | |

In the Jedi Academy Trilogy Jacen and Jaina Solo got lost in Coruscant's underworld and stumbled into Dakyim's Kingdom, a community of refugees. Their leader was King Onibald Daykim, a former low-level banker who led his fellow bureaucrats into hiding when they earned the Emperor's ire. After learning the Emperor was dead and the Empire largely collapsed, Onibald decided to remain a king rather than return to banking. | |
