That he also fights to save others is?certainly part of the story, but I’m guessing he would be the primary focus of the maniac’s rage because of his position and uniform. Hence, the focus of the logline.
That you’re writing from personal knowledge of the character type and the context is a plus.
Best wishes with your project.

>>>unexpectedly becomes ruler in a foreign kingdom
For the purpose of the logline, it seems to me that this is extraneous.? Once he finds out he’s a prince living under a death sentence whose rightful claim to the throne has been usurped, isn’t that sufficient to motivate his objective goal of winning back his throne? For all the details of how he goes about doing it, all the hurdles he must overcome, all the hoops he must jump through,? stay tuned for the next exciting episodes.
My gold standard template for a logline for a series pilot is the one for “Breaking Bad”:? When a milquetoast high school chemistry teacher discovers he has inoperable cancer, he starts cooking crystal meth to pay for treatment and to provide for his family after he’s dead.
That is what Walter White does in the pilot episode.? That becomes his overarching objective goal for the rest of the series.
fwiw
