He is the king of Trodain, and Medea's father. Both he and his daughter were cursed by Dhoulmagus after he stole the Sceptre from Castle Trodain's sealed chamber. Although he is not a combatant, the player can control him at certain parts of the game.

Appearance and personality[edit]

Trode is a good monarch, consumed with the well-being of his kingdom and especially of his daughter, but shows little concern for anything else. After being cursed with a hideous, toad-like from, Trode travels via a wagon hitched to his now turned horse daughter (a fact that he often is upset by). After the defeat of Dhoulmagus, Trode is almost heartbroken by the fact that his and Medea's curse still lingers. However, once the demon Rhapthorne is finally defeated, the two are restored to normal.
