King Julien XIII

"I have only thought about myself. And look what happened, people got hurt. I want my legacy to help, not hurt"

- Julien to Maurice

King Julien XIII, simply referred to as King Julien, formerly known as Prince Julien, and sometimes nicknamed Julie, is the tritagonist of Madagascar, a supporting protagonist of Escape to Africa and Europe's Most Wanted, the deuteragonist of The Penguins of Madagascar TV series and the main protagonist of All Hail King Julien.

In Europe's Most Wanted, Julien gives up being king to be with his bear girlfriend, Sonya.

Julien is voiced by Sacha Baron Cohen in the films and Danny Jacobs in the TV series, Penguins of Madagascar and All Hail King Julien series.

Early Life
Julien comes from a long line of lemur kings.

As a baby when his parents were sleeping, a baby prince Julien found an abandoned Aye-Aye lemur child who was eventually named Maurice. Both of them were raised together and have been friends since childhood.

Julien was once best friends with a lemur named Rob McTodd, but Julien's uncle banished his former best friend a long time ago after Rob went to far and gave King Julien XII a heart attack in his birthday party.

All Hail King Julien!
In the prequel series, Julien is the protagonist of the entire series. He became king after his uncle abdicated the throne fearing the prophecy of whoever wears the crown will be the one who is eaten by a fossa.

In the series finale of Exiled, everyone in the rebel camp, even Julien 's enemies throughout the series (minus the Mountain Lemurs), bow down before them as their leader and true king. later, during the Second battle of Madagascar, Julien inadvertently kills Koto by leaning up against the former king's statue.

Similar Characters

 * Julien's mannerisms are similar to Kuzco from the Emperor's New Groove series. as both are extremely selfish and snobby, and rulers of their respected kingdom, both actually do care about their friends and don't want anything life threatening happen to any of them. Also, both of them hate being touched, but not by their seemingly love interests (Clover and Malina respectively)
