The Horned King is a tyrannical sorcerer who is at war with the people of the land of Prydain and seeks to overwhelm them by gaining control of the Black Cauldron, an artifact forged by an evil king of the past which can control life and death. Using the cauldron's power, the Horned King desires to resurrect the dead and use his "Cauldron Born" to conquer and create more through their killings in combat and on the rampage. However with no idea of his whereabouts, he has scoured the land searching for anyone who has any means of discovering the location of the Black Cauldron, ultimately using Taran and his friends as bait to seek out his ultimate prize for him!

In the original "Chronicles of Prydain" novel series, the Horned King is actually a war chief who works under the main villain: the sorcerer Arwen; the film combines both into one character.
