The thing you have to remember about the king is that it is both the most important and paradoxically one of the weakest pieces on the board. It can't even advance within attacking distance of some pieces because that would put it in check.

So, the 'king', although being important in the game Cinder and Ozpin are evidently playing, would probably not be too impressive in him/herself. That individual would keep themselves hidden as anonymity would be their greatest advantage, until they either (a) had no other choice or (b) felt their advantage was so great there was no harm to come from a little personal gloating.
