Torneko is a family man, happily married to [[Tessie]] and raising his son [[Tipper Taloon|Tipper]] while he works as an employee to another merchant. Torneko wants better things for his family, and his desire to be an excellent provider is one of the main reasons he enters into venture capitalism to open his own shop. Wanderlust runs strong in Torneko's veins, and even far-fetched rumors of treasure will light a fire in his heart. He is very grateful to his wife for being understanding and keeping an eye on their son as he sets off an adventure. | Torneko is a family man, happily married to [[Tessie]] and raising his son [[Tipper Taloon|Tipper]] while he works as an employee to another merchant.

Even though much of his time and effort goes toward accruing [[gold coin]]s, he doesn't do this out of greed, but to make his wife happy and for altruistic endeavors. Overall, he is a very kind person. On multiple occasions Torneko goes out of his way to help others in need, regardless of whether it will benefit him for doing so or not (examples including delivering [[Regan|Prince Regan's]] love letter to [[Veronica]], and smuggling a [[Chimera Wing]] to [[List of characters in Dragon Quest IV# | Even though much of his time and effort goes toward accruing [[gold coin]]s, he doesn't do this out of greed, but to make his wife happy and for altruistic endeavors.

While not necessarily greedy, Torneko has the typical mindset of a merchant, always looking for opportunities to set up shop and make a profit, even at rather inopportune times and locations. While Torneko appears to be loyal to the [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|Hero]] to the end, he jokes about leaving the party after having collected the [[Zenithian Equipment]] since that was his original goal to begin with. He does seem to have a rather cowardly side. As seen in the party chat, Torneko would sometimes volunteer to remain behind in the wagon right before facing a formidable adversary, only to claim he was kidding right afterwards. Torneko is often noted by his boss to be lazy. This is further seen when he meets the Hero, [[Meena]] and [[Maya]] at [[Pharos Beacon]]. Since he considered the monsters too tough for him to handle himself, he sticks the task of restoring light to the flames to the others before heading back to [[Porthtrunnel]] (although this action could be somewhat justified by the fact that Torneko had a bounty on his head for rebuilding the [[Trans-Montane Tunnel]]). | While not necessarily greedy, Torneko has the typical mindset of a merchant, always looking for opportunities to set up shop and make a profit, even at rather inopportune times and locations.

Afterwards, Torneko's attention is turned toward an old man who wanted to continue developing the [[Trans-Montane Tunnel]] which will lead from Endor to the country of [[Casabranca]]. He needed 60,000 gold coins to achieve this, which Torneko helped out with (through making money at his shop, as well as providing a set of [[Steel broadsword]]s and [[Iron armour]]s to Endor's warriors). Once the tunnel is completed, Torneko traveled through on behalf of the old man and accepts the task of carrying on his dream by traveling the world by [[ship]] and gathering many legendary treasures. | Afterwards, Torneko's attention is turned toward an old man who wanted to continue developing the [[Trans-Montane Tunnel]] which will lead from Endor to the country of [[Casabranca]].

Torneko made it to [[Porthtrunnel]] and paid to have a ship made, while hearing of an [[Conrad Hilton|old man]] in [[Mintos]] who has a [[Treasure map (Dragon Quest IV)|treasure map]]. He left upon hearing of monsters who corrupted the lighthouse fire at [[Pharos Beacon]] to restore peace to the oceans. Upon finding the monsters to be too strong, he made a plea to the [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|Hero]] and company to find the [[Holy Embers]] and to defeat the ones causing the problems at the lighthouse. They agree to do so, and are joined by Torneko shortly after, who provides use of his ship for travels. | ||
Upon defeating [[Psaro the Manslayer]] ([[Aamon]] in the remakes), the party returns to their lives with Torneko, returning to his family in Endor, and later showing up with the group in [[Hidden Valley]] to see the Hero. | Upon defeating [[Psaro the Manslayer]] ([[Aamon]] in the remakes), the party returns to their lives with Torneko, returning to his family in Endor, and later showing up with the group in [[Hidden Valley]] to see the Hero. | ||

====Abilities==== | |||
[[File:Torneko wearing ring.png|right|thumb|250px|"Look at it ''spar''-kle!"]] | |||
Torneko has elements of both a [[Merchant]] and a [[Gadabout]]. As a merchant, he can use his [[appraise]] ability to give basic information and loss/return estimates on items in the party's possession. However, he also has the gadabout tendency to not follow orders in battle, bellowing loudly, staring blankly into space, or telling naff gags when ordered to attack. He can equip most weapons and armour, and has respectable HP and level growth, and is otherwise a decent fighter; however, his defence leaves something to be desired. He also learns a few exploration skills, allowing the party to avoid encounters in dungeons and sniff out the remaining treasures in an area. | |||
