He rules over the island continent that contains the eponymous town and the village of [[Reeve]], and is gravely concerned with the actions of the archfiend [[Baramos]]. He is also a very protective father, refusing to allow his [[Princess of Aliahan|daughter]] to play outside the castle-town's walls out of fear of the rising monster activity. | |||

When his soldiers bring word that Ortega was last seen at the summit of the [[Great Pit of Giaga]] and that no trace of him could be found at the volcano's crater, he assumes the worst and attempts to console the newly-widowed [[Hero's Mother (Dragon Quest III)|mother of the Hero]]. The King fears that all hope is lost with Ortega gone, but the young woman assures him that her child will succeed where her husband has failed. | ||
The years pass, and when the Hero comes of age and is escorted to the castle by their mother, the King receives them in high spirits. The King is implied to feel responsible for the death of Ortega, and as such he ''strongly'' recommends that the Hero take allies with them to avoid the same fate, explaining the importance of [[Patty's Party Planning Place]].

After the Hero has succeeded in killing Baramos and restoring peace to the world, the King will call for a celebration--he will also give the player a [[Bastard sword]] if they defeated the archfiend with the Hero alone. Before the celebration can begin, however, a booming, disembodied voice fills his throne room with mocking laughter. The devil [[Zoma]] announces that Baramos was merely an underling of his, and that the true lord of darkness will bring the world under his heel very soon. The King is distraught at this, having his strength robbed of him after finally seeing world peace during his reign only for it to be crushed by a greater evil. He becomes depressed and very short with the Hero, and his minister manages the saving of the player's file for the rest of the game. | After the {{Hero 3}} has succeeded in killing [[Baramos]] and restoring peace to the world, the King will call for a celebration--he will also give the player a [[Bastard sword]] if they defeated the archfiend with the Hero alone.

Though the King does not have much dialogue, many of his actions can be inferred by the player even on a casual playthrough. He discreetly sends word of the Hero's mission to the five other monarchs, which is why the player is welcomed in each kingdom and does not have to prove their identity. | Though the King does not have much dialogue, many of his actions can be inferred by the player even on a casual playthrough.
