Jasper is a major antagonist in Dragon Quest XI. He is known as the cold-blooded strategist of the Kingdom of Heliodor.
Appearance
Jasper is an attractive young man with angular facial features. He has fair skin, small yellow eyes, and chin-length light blond hair with some of the fringe covering the right side of his face and a long ponytail that goes down to his waist. He also wears a pair of red studs as earrings. Jasper wears an ornate suit of silver and gold knight's armor over chainmail, white trousers, silver gauntlets over a pair of white gloves, and silver greaves over and a white pair of boots. Attached to his armor is a long white cape with red lining that reaches down to his feet. Emblazoned on the front of his armor's breastplate is a golden two-headed eagle, which is the symbol of Heliodor.
Personality
Jasper is a ruthless tactician and is skilled in the art of war. He is known for his accurate judgement and decisiveness and has achieved many victories due to his skill, such as securing victory against a large army of monsters with only a small force. However he is also an immensely cruel and evil man who will stoop to such vile actions as cursing a child and imprisoning a city with the help of an ancient witch, just to achieve his goals. These goals are, in truth, to aid Mordegon in his plot.
Jasper is childhood friends with Hendrik, both undergoing knighthood training at the same time, but Jasper bears a jealous streak towards his him for being more well-liked, to the point that he wishes to see his 'friend' dead. His prized possession is his token of fealty.[1] At the time when Hendrik was off learning chivalry and swordsmanship in Puerto Valor, Jasper was studying magic at the Royal Library in Sniflheim, where he first came into contact with the witch Krystalinda. He is very meticulous and a perfectionist when it comes to his personal appearance, which draws the attention of many women.
