He is the king of [[Trodain]], and [[Medea]]'s father. Both he and his daughter were cursed by [[Dhoulmagus]] after he stole the {{Sceptre}} from Castle Trodain's sealed chamber. Although he is not a combatant, the player can control him at certain parts of the game. | |||

After being cursed with a hideous, toad-like from, Trode travels via a wagon hitched to his now turned horse daughter (a fact that he often is upset by). After the defeat of Dhoulmagus, Trode is almost heartbroken by the fact that his and Medea's curse still lingers. However, once the demon [[Rhapthorne]] is finally defeated, the two are restored to normal. In the epilogue, King Trode decides to disrupt the arranged marriage of his daughter to Prince [[Charmles]] of [[Argonia]], and is hinted to be quite pleased with the romantic nature between [[Medea]] and the Hero. In the special ending, he can become the Hero's father-in-law after the revelation of the Hero being revealed to be of noble birth. | ||
Contrary to his physical appearance, Trode is shown to be quite stealthy and he can even hold his own in combat, being able to fend off an armed guard in the ending with nothing more than a stick. He and [[Yangus]] have a recurring routine in which Trode will often appear out of nowhere during a scene, scaring the ex-thief witless.

He and [[Yangus]] have a recurring routine in which Trode will often appear out of nowhere during a scene, scaring the ex-thief witless. Trode is something of a pervert as well, commenting frequently on the physical appearance of {{Jessica}}, particularly when she changes her outfit. | ||
