ALfheim Online Avatar:
The Supreme King's avatar does not differ from his SAO avatar, and therefore, whit his his real life appearence. He is a shadowed figure dressed in black and gold medieval knight-esque armor with six tendril-like spikes, two jutting out of the armor's back and four jutting out of the shoulders, a headdress with a tall collar and a floor-length red cape. To signify his position as the Supreme King, he also wears a black helmet that functions as a crown.

While on battle, he removes the spikes, the cape, the black cape covering his knees, the helmet, and also the thing covering the left sides of his face and his back, to move much faster, as if he wasnt wereing an armor at all.

Personality
Hao displays a keen, inteligent, power hungry attitude, capable of achiving the task of becomming the King of Aincrad by any cost, and asuming different strategist. He is extremely arrogant and selfish, believing himself to be the sole potentate and only king of the world of ALO, even superior to the AEsirs. However, he does not underestimate anyone, specialy upon field of battle.

Besides his arrogance, he displace a sence of honor, and respect for those who proves themselves worthy of it and/or those that are close to him. He is also a keen strategist and inteligence, reasons he has became the second in command in the Guardians of Darkness, adn later, the leader of the most powerful guild in ALO. He also has a profound sense of justice and believes that nobody is above punishment (specialy when they have made an offence direclty to him).

He holds that every great weapon or trasure of the world belongs to him, a reason one of his goals is to obtain Excaliber, the strongest sword in the ALO-SAO universe

Background
Nothing is known about Hao, but the fact that he has a smaller brother.

SAO
Ishi

Hao began to relation with Pendragon Court, and Ishi is his contact. Hao knowns he is not much trusted, neither by Ishi nor eny other of their guild, due to he knows to much about Skieth and its past, and that makes him suspicious. Still they need him, becouse he knows much more than others. It is unknown why he began relationships with them, while being an enemy, and it seems that not even Kamui knows.

Kamui  

Hao holds hatred toward Kamui for reasons that aren't completely revealed. It is known that Hao is scheming behind Kamui's back, but to that end it is unclear.

New ALO
Galant

Combat Prowess
Hao is a much skilled swordman, fighing with just one sword or in hand- to-hand combat. His sword abiltities make him the second best warrior of the Guardian of Darkness, only bested by his leader Kamui. He is willing to risk everything even his own body or pain for the achiving of victory, at any costs. Therefore his "signature attack" is, if he is, or has been disarmed, grab a sword intended to stab him from the blade. Then span 180º, and impaling his oponnent with his own sword in the chest. This attacks requires a high level endurance to pain due to he must grab the sword from the blade, and there is just one way to stop it.

After obteining his unique skill, Absolute Weapon, Hao's level of power easily matches the strongest players of SAO. He can shoot weapons out of nothing, has (presumbly) unlimited weapons inside of it, and further more, he can wield any type of weapon, and has mastered the use of any of them. He is skilled either with one or two: swords, spears, daggers, hammers, maces, axes, scythes, shields, halabards, bow and arrow, etc...Still, Hao prefers to dual weild swords in a level of power that is not matched with ease. Besides, he can absove weapons from defeated player, to add it to his "treasures".

In New ALO, he begans wearing an armor to signify his status as king, and trained himself to move as fast as if he was not wearing an armor at all.

Tactical Abilities
Hao is also a skilled, intelligent and highly cunning tactician who, unlike his officers and high-ranking soldiers, does not adhere to typical tactics and traditions, making a more flexible strategist. And he does not underestimate his opponets at all, neither he overestimates himself.

But also, mainly in the later Roman Republic and during the late Republican civil wars, imperator was the honorific title assumed by certain military commanders. After an especially great victory, an army's troops in the field would proclaim their imperator, an acclamation necessary for a general to apply to the Senate for a triumph. After being acclaimed imperator, the victorious general had a right to use the title after his name until the time of his triumph, where he would relinquish the title as well as his imperium.
 * Imperator was also the antecedent for the modern word, Emperor.
