Broos Tōlua Vorma, /brʊs tɔː'lɔɪ 'vɑːrmə/ known as the Oaleed King, was the founder of the cult of the Coming of Vaona.

He was a known religious figure and in Mantar for years, and was highly sought for blessings of children and sage advice not only by the common people, but also by the nobles. Already referred to as the Oaleed King due to his dedication to the old Oaleed tradition, he formed a cult either at the end of the 80s or in the beginning of the 90s of the 16th CSR. His previous fame among the nobility made the cult known and accessible to them, which partially explains why after Gorōna's departure from Mantar many of them flocked to the Coming of Vaona and were able to secure important positions in the organization.

Oaleed King was described as a charismatic and powerful speaker, but also moralistic, radical and unforgiving. If someone became his enemy, he would pursue them until they were either dead or their life completely destroyed. As the cult began to turn into one of the opposition parties to Nilma's rule, Oaleed King was quick to dial up the violence.

He did have a very close relationship with his regents, all of whom were nobles. He was generally nicer to nobles and wealthy people than to commoners and exercised a double standard, making sure that noble and wealthy members felt nothing but support from the organization, while instilling a sense of urgency, total devotion and complete obedience from the rest. This allowed him to finance his operation.

He fled Mantar in 1606 SR, accompanied by several hundred of other believers. They traveled north and crossed Kōnzoh with heavy losses, after which they attacked several villages at Koalderood and set up camp. They were then mauled by the army of Jegin in the beginning of 1607.
