'''Pepe''' is a character found in [[Greenthumb Gardens|Greenthumb Gardens']] past in the game ''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''. He also appears in [[Mentare]] after the party crosses the [[Litorud|Litorud Bridge]] in the past.

==History==
Pepe works as an indentured servant, along with his father and brother, to Borlock. He tends the herb garden, which is the reason for Greenthumb Gardens' success as a city.

He is in love with [[Linda]] but feels that they shouldn't be together due to her impending marriage to [[Iwan]], Borlock's son. However, Linda is in love with Pepe and constantly tries to make him see her affections for him. To add to this, [[Kaya]] tries to convince Pepe to elope with Linda so that she can have Iwan all to herself.

One day, as Pepe and Linda were talking, [[Rainiac]] casts a curse on Greenthumb Gardens, summoning the Gray Rain on the residents of Greenthumb Gardens. Pepe, seeing that the rain turns people to stone, threw his body at Linda to cover her from the rain. As a result, his body becomes overexposed to the rain.

==Verdham==
The party saves Greenthumb Gardens with the Angel Tears. However, Pepe, due to his overexposure to the rain, isn't completely cured. The residents take him back to his house. His father asks the party to find a way to restore him. They go to [[Engow]] and talk to [[Palmela]]. They receive the prescription from her and use it on Pepe who recovers instantaneously. Iwan tells his father to throw a party to celebrate his recovery.

Pepe does not take an interest in the party and sequesters himself to another part of town. He is approached by Kaya who tries to convince him to elope with Linda. He refuses, stating that it would just cause trouble for his family. It starts raining again and everyone takes shelter in their houses. 

Pepe and Linda have a conversation in the rain. Linda tries to convince Pepe to run away with her, but he refuses, not wanting to cause trouble for her or his family. Linda becomes angry and tells him that when she marries Iwan, she will work him to the bone. All Pepe says in response is that she should go back inside before she catches cold. She yells at him, telling him that she never wanted to see Pepe again.

Pepe decides to leave Greenthumb Gardens. When the party tries to convince him that Borlock is a fair man and that running away would be cowardly, he responds that this is all true and that he should have done this a long time ago. But he says that it is too late for him. He leaves without a word to anybody.

==Mentare==
He founds the town of [[Mentare]] soon after leaving Greenthumb Gardens. At first it is just an open field, but within 30 years, it becomes a successful garden. People from all over the world come to study Pepe's gardening techniques.

Pepe adopts a girl who is ironically named Linda, due to the attachment he has to that name.

==Present==
Pepe is buried in the Geionne Monestary. He is buried besides Linda facing Mentare. The town he created becomes so successful that it drives Greenthumb Gardens out of business. Greenthumb Gardens in the present becomes a desolate field.
