Contents
Early years
Swantavius King is the son of former college football star Swantavius Steve and Olive Ahmed, a nuclear engineer. Since birth King has been in the public eye, as he was the product of an extramarital affair between Steve and Swantavius Logan (nee Judy) which made headlines for the somewhat prestigious footballing family. Though his upbringing was not ideal, King was welcomed into the Swantavius family with open arms and has otherwise been given every chance to succeed.
Aided by summers and weekends of coaching from his father and his half-brother Swantavius Jones, King was able to develop an aptitude for football and secure the starting quarterback role at Richland High School. King was not a blue chip prospect, yet he endeavored to continue playing football after high school to supplement his academic pursuits. In addition to playing football King also has an interest in studying military history, having grown up quite close to where the Manhattan Project B reactor was located.
College career
Though King largely played quarterback throughout his high school career, the only scholarship offer he received was from local university Cypress Creek. Wanting to play at a more prestigious institution, King instead walked onto the football team at the University of Auburn despite being buried in the depth chart with no obvious path to playing time. King's freshman year was tumultuous, as he showed up to practice out of shape despite being in football condition just a few months prior. When pressed on the matter, King revealed that he had received several free pallets of excess Swanty Shakes and Swanty Cones from his half-brother's endorsement deals and had gone through them quickly over the warm Washington summer. The frustrated coaching staff gave King an unusual ultimatum--if he failed to make weight, he would have to try his hand at another position or be released from the program. Instead of rising to the occasion, King instead put in a new order for more frozen treats and began working on his three-point stance. Fortunately King would thrive at his new position, though the relationship between the player and his coaches never fully mended. King declared for the DSFL draft after his junior season, and his time in Alabama would soon be forgotten.

DSFL career
2048
King was claimed on waivers at the conclusion of the trade deadline for a four game tryout with the Kansas City Coyotes. He struggled to acclimate to the pace of the game during the team's road games in Norfolk and Bondi Beach, being penalized three times in total. However, he closed out the season on a high note as the team returned to Kansas City. In wins against Dallas and Tijuana, King accrued twelve total pancakes and was not flagged for a penalty in either contest. Although the team's 7-7 record was sufficient to earn the second playoff seed in the North division, they would ultimately lose to the Minnesota Grey Ducks. King was again penalized once in this game, leading pundits to question whether crowd noise is a factor in King's ability to stay focused in critical moments. Aside from his high penalty rate, Swantavius King's trial was the Coyotes was largely a success. He maintained a high rate of pancakes per game and did not allow quarterback Trevor Lorenzen to be sacked once.
2049
The London Royals selected King in the third round with the nineteenth overall pick in the 2049 DSFL draft. He was the second offensive lineman taken, after thirteenth overall pick and fellow Kansas City waiver addition Patty Pumpernickel. After a troubling preseason showing in which King allowed two sacks, his poor play continued against his former team in Week 1 when he allowed Kaguya Shinomiya to be sacked on the Royals first offensive play of the season. Over the following week, the London coaching staff revealed that King had shown up to training camp "significantly underweight" and that he would see reduced playing time until corrective action could be taken. Having faced a similar dilemma during his time at Auburn, King again turned to creative methods to justify the organization's decision to draft him. As rookie kicker Jonathon Redding had also proved unreliable against Kansas City by missing a game-winning 40 yard field goal, the team held open kicking tryouts.
