—Kingsley (DS)

Kingsley (キングス Kings) is a character and eligible party member in the Dragon Quest series that appears in Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation.

Appearance and personality[edit]

Kingsley is identical in appearance to his fellow gloopy monarchs. Ever concerned about his appearance and with a posh way of speaking, Kingsley has a snobbish attitude and does not hesitate to comment on the fashion sense of others. Nonetheless, he recognizes the party's stylishness once they surpass his expectations and offers his surprisingly capable combat skills.

In the Nintendo DS remake and its mobile phone port, Kingsley can be found lounging around at Château de Sass's bar and will join the party once spoken to after having won seven levels of the style contest.
