[edit] Story
Krichevskoy dies two years before the start of the game, supposedly after he chokes on a black pretzel (dark manju in the Japanese version), however, Etna's diary states that he died after stopping Baal, the Legendary Tyrant, who tried to conquer the Netherworld. He was able to stop Baal, but not without a cost of him being fatally weakened. He is later reincarnated as Mid-Boss, a fact that is only hinted to in the games and anime, but was confirmed in The World of Disgaea.
Krichevskoy, like Seraph Lamington, believed that every being had love in their hearts. Etna, who was loyal to him, found this unusual for an Overlord. After his death, most of the vassals had left, which included Hoggmeiser. Laharl absolutely resents his father. His father asked if Laharl if he loved him, apparently, Laharl said no. Krichevskoy said that one day Laharl will warm up to him.
It is heavily implied that Vyers is King Krichevskoy throughout the game. In the World of Disgaea artbook, Vyers is refered to as Krichevskoy's "reincarnation". At the end of the Disgaea: Hour of Darkness manga, Vyers mentions to Seraph Lamington that Laharl is "quite a dutiful son."
