When a title, made of two hyphenated words, is followed by a proper noun, is the word after the hyphen capitalised?

Eg. I understand that the following statement is correct:

He killed King Ravan.

But, which of these is correct?

He killed Demon-king Ravan.

 

He killed Demon-King Ravan.

British English rules are what I, as an Indian, would prefer.

Thank you. :)

And what about …

He killed the demon-king Ravan.

No capitalisation required in the above statement for the compound word of the person title. Right?
