==Main Party Members==
==Main Party Members==
They are the main characters of the story, and are controllable party members during their introduction chapters (Chapters 1-4). When they join the Hero in Chapter 5, the other party members become NPC characters that are only controlled by the "Tactics Command". In the re-releases, this setting can be changed to "Follow Orders", which allows the player to choose their actions.
*''See main article: [[Chosen Ones]]''
* '''[[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|Hero]]'''. The main character of the game, who does not appear until Chapter 5. (In the remakes, he/she also appears in an introductory prologue.) The player can choose and name either a male or a female hero. There is no impact to the story, other than a few optional pieces of armor and weapons that can be equipped if female. He or she is 17 at the start of Chapter 5, and is quickly revealed to be the child of a woodcutter living north of [[Casabranca]] and a woman from [[Zenithia]] who returned to the sky after giving birth. The hero's hometown, in the mountains near the woodcutter's cabin, is destroyed by [[Psaro]], so he/she sets out alone to defeat the Lord of the Underworld. He/she is the only character who can use lightning spells, and also gains various other attack and recovery spells. His/her status is high overall, especially [[HP]] and [[Attack Power]]. In the manual and guidebook screenshots, the hero is named "Solo" (ソロ) or "Sofia" (ソフィア).
* [[Ragnar]] or [[Ryan]], the warrior (ライアン, 戦士). Captain of the [[Burland]] army. He investigates a case of children who are disappearing throughout the kingdom. He first appears in Chapter 1. He also appears as a Cameo in Chapters 2 (Inn by Endor) and 3 (Endor Casino).
* Princess/Tsarevna [[Alena]] (アリーナ, 姫): Tomboyish Princess of the [[Zamoksva]] Kingdom. She is bored of the palace life and wishes to travel the world. She first appears in Chapter 2.
* [[Borya]], the wizard (ブライ, 魔法使い): Alena's tutor. He's a magician who travels with Alena to look after her. He first appears in Chapter 2.
* [[Kiryl]], the priest/chancellor (クリフト, 神官). Chancellor of [[Zamoksva]] (he was a priest in the original Japanese). He travels along with Alena and Brey. He can use healing magic spells. He first appears in chapter 2.
* [[Torneko Taloon]], the arms merchant (トルネコ, 武器屋): A weapons merchant who wishes to open his own store. He first appears in Chapter 3.
* [[Maya]], the dancer (マーニャ, 踊り子). A dancer, who can use attack magic from [[Laissez Fayre]]. Her father died in mysterious circumstances. She and her sister Meena seek revenge. She and her sister first appear in Chapter 4, and are the first to join the Hero in Chapter 5.
* [[Meena]], the fortune-teller (ミネア, 占い師). Maya's sister. She is a fortune teller and can use healing magic.

==Uncontrolled Party Members (Non-Playable Characters - {{NPC}}s)==
These characters join the party for portions of your quest, but cannot be controlled by the player or by a "Tactic" (though their Healing Spells can be used out of battle in the remakes). Nor can their equipment be upgraded, and they do not level up either. They leave once their purpose is completed, and in most cases cannot be re-recruited. However, they will often at some point travel to the [[Immigrant Town]] in the remake.

* [[Psaro]] (ピサロ): The King of the Demons; final boss of the original game. He is sometimes called [[Psaro the Manslayer]] (デスピサロ); he hates humans, and plans to prevent the appearance of the Hero. His strength and ruthlessness are feared by humans, but revered by demons and by the inhabitants of [[Rosehill]]. When Rose was attacked by humans, he helped by living with her; but he left her there so that he could conquer the world. He sought to destroy all humans and resurrect the Lord of the Underworld to free the world for demons. After her death, he was driven insane, and used the [[Secret of Evolution]] to become a monster, but the process destroyed his personality. The only thing he remembered was his desire to destroy humanity. He waits for the heroes at the top of the mountain, beyond the Castle of Death in Nadiria. In the sixth chapter of the remake, the Secret of Evolution is undone by Rose's tears, and he becomes a companion of the protagonist (a full PC whose actions in battle can be controlled). His initial state is of course quite powerful; all his stats are high, and he knows powerful spells such as [[Lightning Storm]] and [[Magic Burst]]. Also, he can equip cursed equipment without penalty and without having his stats zeroed.  
*[[Tessie Taloon]] (ネネ): {{Torneko}}'s wife. She always makes delicious meals for him. She is able to sell products her husband delivers to her for 1.5 times their regular sale price, showing impressive business skills. She is accepting of her husband's need to travel.

* [[Aamon]], the Evil Priest (エビルプリースト): A High Priest with a wicked heart. He is the one who had Rose murdered. He is also one of the four demons who maintains the barrier on Psaro's castle in Nadiria. In the Famicom and CD theater editions he is an otherwise faithful subordinate of Psaro, but he says he had Rose murdered to force Psaro to become the new King of Hell in the remakes. In the PlayStation remake, as in the novel, he secretly plans to replace Psaro as the king of the demons. In the sixth chapter, he rules from the Death Palace, and has used the Secret of Evolution to make himself perfect; he is the true final boss. He must be fought using only Psaro and three other heroes, since the Wagon cannot be brought into the palace.
*Archie O'Tect (Called da Gardi in the {{NES}} Version): Came to repair the bridge connecting [[Ballymoral]] to [[Endor]], but was distracted by the illusion of a pretty girl in [[Shinnock]], which was crafted by a fox.  After {{Torneko}} puts a stop to the fox's tricks, Archie returns to repairing the bridge.

It often delivers critical hits.
==={{DQ4 Chapter 4}}===
* [[Balzack]] (バルザック): Mahabala's disciple; he killed his teacher to steal the [[Secret of Evolution]], which he used to become a demon. He has taken over [[Palais de Léon]]. If he is injured he will heal himself fully with [[Fullheal]]. In the fifth chapter, he is more powerful (the Monster Book displays him as "Balzaack"; he is now a recolored [[Pruslas]]), and is occupying the Castle [[Zamovska]]. He is very arrogant, and disliked even by his subordinate demons. His intention, he says, is to enhance his body to be even more Godlike than Psaro's; but he lacks the [[Armlet of Transmutation]] which allows him to use the full power of the [[Secret of Evolution]].
*[[Mahabala]] (エドガン): Father of {{Maya}} and {{Meena}}. He was a great alchemist, with two pupils, [[Oojam]] and [[Balzack]].

When the monster is defeated in the remake, he returns to human form, and forgets his memories as a monster. He must be fought twice, once each in the fourth and fifth chapters. It is supposed to impossible to defeat him in the fourth chapter; if he is defeated, the PS version will carry on as though the party lost, and the FC/NES version will repeat the battle. He moves twice per round, attacking, casting [[Sizz]] and breathing frost.
*[[Marquis de Léon]] (キングレオ王): The real king of the castle of [[Palais de Léon]]. It is said that he died, but in fact he has been imprisoned by his son, of the same name. He gives {{Maya}} and {{Meena}} an embarkation ticket and helps them escape from the prison. In {{DQ4 Chapter 5}} he has died.

Latest revision as of 15:08, 8 September 2022

This is a list of characters in Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen.

Main Party Members[edit]

Uncontrolled Party Members (Non-Playable Characters - NPCs)[edit]

These characters join the party for portions of your quest, but cannot be controlled by the player or by a "Tactic" (though their Healing Spells can be used out of battle in the remakes). Nor can their equipment be upgraded, and they do not level up either. They leave once their purpose is completed, and in most cases cannot be re-recruited. However, they will often at some point travel to the Pioneer Town in the remake.

  • Healie, the Healslime (ホイミン, ホイミスライム): A healer (or heal slime) who desires to be human. He joins Ragnar in his search for the missing children during Chapter 1. Later in the game, he begins to achieve his dream. His transformation is described in the novel. The PS1 remake also adds Behoimin and Behoman, upper level Healslimes who will join the Pioneer Town.
  • Laurel, the travelling poet (ロレンス, 旅の詩人). A mercenary who joins Torneko when he is looking for treasure during Chapter 3.
  • Hardie, the bodyguard (スコット, 用心棒): Another mercenary hired by Torneko during Chapter 3. He hates dogs, and will not join if Fido is still following Torneko around.
  • Oojam, the alchemist (オーリン, 錬金術師): A family friend of Maya and Meena who joins the sisters in their fight against their father's murderer during Chapter 4. He is strong enough to break most locked doors with his bare hands.
  • Hank Hoffman Jr., innkeeper's son (ホフマン, 宿屋の息子): The son of an innkeeper who lost faith in friendship when his partners betrayed him during a quest. He joins the party during Chapter 5, and gives them the Wagon.
  • Tom Foolery, the comedian (パノン, 旅芸人): The best comedian in the world. He is the star at Laissez Fayre after Maya leaves. He is needed during Chapter 5 to make the King of Canalot laugh. According to the novel, "Panon" is only a stage name.
  • Orifiela, the angel (ルーシア, 天空人): A citizen of Zenithia who fell from the sky and helps the party in Chapter 5 return to her home.
  • Sparkie, the baby dragon (ドラン, 竜の子ども): A baby Dragon from Zenithia who joins the battle against the Lord of the Underworld during Chapter 5 and remains with the party until Psaro the Manslayer is defeated.

Non-Combatant Party Members[edit]

These characters join your party, but do not take part in battles or have stats displayed. Like the other NPCs, they leave after an objective has been accomplished.

  • Aigneas (フレア): A woman who lives in Burland. Her husband Angus's whereabouts are unknown. She follows Ragnar to Strathbaile and helps restore her husband's memory using the ritual known as Puff-Puff.
  • Willy Wally (ププル): Son of the Strathbaile innkeeper. Kidnapped by Psaro's Pawn, and taken to the lake tower. He along with another kidnapped child follows Ragnar after the rescue until both are dropped off at Strathbaile.
  • Fido: After getting Finnegan out of the jail of Ballymoral, his dog Fido can be recruited in order to deal with some foxes in Shinnock. Afterwards, Torneko can return him anytime and can't recruit Hardie (due to his fear of dogs) otherwise.
  • Rose (ロザリー): An Elf who cries ruby tears. Therefore, many humans seek to kidnap her to become rich. But her tears shatter when caught in human hands. Psaro sought to protect her, but Aamon had her assassinated in order to drive him mad.

  • In Chapter 6 (in the remake), the party} obtain a flower of Yggdrasil, allowing her to be resurrected. She then accompanies the heroes (as a noncombatant) and persuades Psaro to undo the effects of the Secret of Evolution. According to the remake, she was named after the town Rosehill by Psaro protecting the town from humans. She won't appear in the party in the overworld or certain other places, but remains with them until Aamon is defeated.

Other characters[edit]

These are characters that aid the Hero and his party throughout the game, but do not join the party.

Chapter 1[edit]

  • Angus (アレクス): Aigneas's husband. He has lost his memory due to the disappearance of his children, and has been imprisoned for stealing bread.

Chapter 2[edit]

Chapter 3[edit]

  • Tessie Taloon (ネネ): Torneko's wife. She always makes delicious meals for him. She is able to sell products her husband delivers to her for 1.5 times their regular sale price, showing impressive business skills. She is accepting of her husband's need to travel. In Chapter 5 she runs a Vault or Bank. In the remake, her son's name is Tipper.
  • Archie O'Tect (Called da Gardi in the NES Version): Came to repair the bridge connecting Ballymoral to Endor, but was distracted by the illusion of a pretty girl in Shinnock, which was crafted by a fox. After Torneko puts a stop to the fox's tricks, Archie returns to repairing the bridge.
  • Regan (リック): Prince of Ballymoral. He is in love with Veronica, the Princess of Endor, but his father seeks to invade that country. He asks Torneko Taloon to deliver a letter to her for him, and later marries her.

Chapter 4[edit]

Chapter 5[edit]

  • Eliza (シンシア): A childhood friend of the Hero. She is, along with all the townspeople, responsible to protect the growing hero. She takes on his form in order to distract the monsters when they invade the village.
  • Bladud (リバスト): Former owner of the Zenithian armour, he died defending the town of Bath from the monsters, and is now a ghost. According to the novel, his full name is "Ribasuto Raru Kurutosu"; it expands on his story.
  • Mary Lou (パトリシア): Hector's cartmare. She pulls the party's wagon. The novel states that she is the transformed state of Sparkie, who was banished to the surface by the Master Dragon. But in the remake, Hoffman claims to have raised her since she was a pony.
  • Conrad Hilton (ヒルタン): An old man that lives in Mintos. He once sought the legendary sword, but decided to settle down in Mintos to run the inn instead.
  • Zenith Dragon (マスタードラゴン): The ruler of Zenithia, who will give the Hero the power to beat the true evil. He is yellow in the original game, but gray in Akira Toriyama's package art and in the remake. He reappears in the other two games of the Zenithia trilogy.

Endor Tournament Participants[edit]

These are the fighters Tsarevna Alena faces at the end of Chapter 2. In between each round, Alena is allowed to use a Medicinal herb to recover her health. She must face all 5 in a row at one time, otherwise she will need to start at the beginning.

Villains[edit]

  • Psaro the Manslayer (ピサロ): The King of the Demons; final boss of the original game. He is sometimes called Psaro the Manslayer (デスピサロ); he hates humans, and plans to prevent the appearance of the Hero. His strength and ruthlessness are feared by humans, but revered by demons and by the inhabitants of Rosehill. When Rose was attacked by humans, he helped by living with her; but he left her there so that he could conquer the world. He sought to destroy all humans and resurrect the Lord of the Underworld to free the world for demons. After her death, he was driven insane, and used the Secret of Evolution to become a monster, but the process destroyed his personality. The only thing he remembered was his desire to destroy humanity. He waits for the heroes at the top of the mountain, beyond the Castle of Death in Nadiria.

  • In Chapter 6 of the remake, the Secret of Evolution is undone by Rose's tears, and Psaro becomes a companion of the protagonist (a full PC whose actions in battle can be controlled). His initial state is of course quite powerful; all his stats are high, and he knows powerful spells such as Lightning Storm and Magic Burst. Also, he can equip cursed equipment without penalty and without having his stats zeroed.
  • Aamon, the Evil Priest (エビルプリースト): A High Priest with a wicked heart. He is the one who had Rose murdered. He is also one of the four demons who maintains the barrier on the Castle in Nadiria. In the Famicom and CD Theater editions he is an otherwise faithful subordinate of Psaro, but he says he had Rose murdered to force Psaro to become the new King of Hell in the remakes. In the PlayStation remake, as in the novel, he secretly plans to replace Psaro as the king of the demons.

In Chapter 6, he rules from the Diabolic Hall, and has used the Secret of Evolution to make himself perfect; he is the true final boss. He must be fought using only Psaro and three other party members, since the Wagon cannot be brought into the palace.

  • Rashaverak (アンドレアル): A dragon demon; one of the four which keep up the barrier on Castle Nadiria. It is triplicated when it appears. It's/their death dialog indicates that it is loyal to Psaro. They breathe superheated gases, and can call new allies when one is slain.
  • Abullddon (ヘルバトラー): A bull demon; one of the four which keep up the barrier on Castle Nadiria. He casts Kaboom and breathes intense flames. He drops the Miracle sword when he dies.
  • Pruslas (ギガデーモン): A large demon holding a massive club; one of the four demons which keep up the barrier on [[Castle Nadiria] ]. It is devious, and tells the Hero to "look behind you" so that it can get a surprise attack. It casts Kasap to lower the party's defense, and issues high-power attacks with its club. It often delivers Critical Hits.
  • Balzack (バルザック): Mahabala's disciple; he killed his teacher to steal the Secret of Evolution, which he used to become a demon. He has taken over Palais de Léon. If he is injured he will heal himself fully with Fullheal. In Chapter 5, he is more powerful ('The Big Book of Beasts' displays him as "Balzaack"; he is now a recolored Pruslas), and is occupying the Castle Zamoksva. He is very arrogant, and disliked even by his subordinate demons. His intention, he says, is to enhance his body to be even more Godlike than Psaro's; but he lacks the Armlet of Transmutation which allows him to use the full power of the Secret of Evolution.
  • Marquis de Léon (キングレオ): This being controls the castle, Palais de Léon, in the form of a lion monster. It is a palette swap of the Hellion. It originally used Balzack as a subordinate, but he gained further power and no longer needed its help. According to "The Unknown Legend", he is the prince of the castle, who used the Secret of Evolution to assume this form, and the remake depicts him accordingly. When the monster is defeated in the remake, he returns to human form, and forgets his memories as a monster. He must be fought twice, once each in the fourth and fifth chapters. It is supposed to be impossible to defeat him in Chapter 4; if he is defeated, the PS1 Version will carry on as though the party lost, and the Famicom/NES version will repeat the battle. He moves twice per round, attacking, casting Sizz and breathing frost.
  • Roseguardin (ピサロナイト): An armored demon guarding Rose. He has the Sphere of Silence, which he uses to prevent the party from using magic.
  • Psaro's Pawn (ピサロの手先): An agent of Psaro in Loch Tur, northwest of the lake. He uses the Talaria to lure children from Strathbaile, in the hopes of finding and killing the Legendary Hero. He casts Sizz and Frizz, has unlimited MP, and is accompanied by a Winky.
  • Estark (エスターク): The Lord of the Underworld. He is sealed in a shrine underneath Mamon, and bound into slumber. He used the Secret of Evolution to become the Ultimate Life Form. He holds a huge sword in each of his hands. He is not fully awake when the party arrive, and is not at full power, but he can still emit a light from his body, which damages the party heavily.
