'''Ragnar McRyan''' is a character in the {{DQSeries}} that appears as a playable {{Party 4}} member in {{Dragon Quest IV}}. | |||
A soldier of the Kingdom of [[Burland]], Ragnar is sent to investigate a case of missing children in the village of [[Strathbaile]] in the [[Dragon Quest IV Chapter 1|first chapter]]. | |||
Discounting the prologue, and the fact that all main characters are present in Chapter Six, Ragnar is the only member of the chosen to make cameo appearances in multiple chapters. | |||
Ragnar | ==Appearance and personality== | ||
Ragnar is a very physically fit man with a lean build that belies his immense strength. He has tanned skin and dark blue hair, with a stern appearance and a large bushy mustache. He wears a pink breastplate with a long red cape attached and a leather skirt called a pteruges over a blue undershirt and shorts. His helmet is pink with a red plume and he wears pink gloves and pink shin guards over a black pair of boots. Ragnar also wears a metal armband on his right bicep, two metal bands on his thighs, and a single metal pauldron on his left shoulder. His armour is reminiscent of the kind used in Ancient Rome, particularly his Legionnaire helmet. | |||
Naturally, he is far more concerned with improving his skill at arms than with scholarly pursuits. He is quite a compassionate person, as evidenced by his righteous fury against the demonic kidnappers and willingness to befriend an innocent [[Healie|monster]] when most would slay it. Ragnar's fellow soldiers look up to him with admiration and respect, and even the king places the utmost confidence in him. Though Ragnar takes great pride in his strength and skill, he is a humble man at heart and places the safety of others above all else. | |||
Starting with the localization of the {{DS}} remake, Ragnar speaks with a Scottish accent. | |||
Ragnar's chapter begins with him receiving a summons from the King of Burland. | ==Appearances== | ||
==={{DQ4}}=== | |||
{{spoiler|start}} | |||
Ragnar's chapter begins with him receiving a summons from the King of [[Burland]]. As the children of [[Strathbaile]] have vanished, all soldiers of the kingdom have been tasked with investigating the incident and rescuing the children as soon as possible. | |||
After | After speaking with the people of Burland and venturing through the underground passage to Straithbaile in the north, Ragnar encounters the amnesiac [[Angus and Aigneas|Angus]] in the town jail. Reduced to the mental ability of a child due to a tremendous shock, Ragnar returns to Burland and brings Angus' wife [[Angus and Aigneas|Aigneas]] to return the man to his senses. As Angus had been welcomed by the children of [[Straithbaile]] as one of their own when he had toys in his attic, he tells Ragnar of their playing place near the [[Auld Well]]. | ||
Despite the accolades he receives, knowing the Underworld's plan Ragnar reveals he cannot simply stand by as darkness gathers, and sets out on a quest with Healie | Entering the well and exploring it, Ragnar hears a mysterious voice that leads him to the [[Talaria]] boots that will allow him to reach the top of the [[Loch Tur]] and rescue the children. Ragnar is also able to join forces with [[Healie]] the [[Healslime]] in this cave, who seeks to become [[human]] one day and wants to help the soldier on his mission. With healie in tow and the [[Talaria]] flinging them both to the Tor, Ragnar makes it to the heart of the fortress and confronts the [[Psaro's Pawn|demon responsible]], who unveils the Underworld's master plan of killing the [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|Chosen]] before he can ever rise against their Lord. Ragnar kills him and rescues the children, winning the favor of the entire country. Despite the accolades he receives, knowing the Underworld's plan Ragnar reveals he cannot simply stand by as darkness gathers, and sets out on a quest with Healie to find and protect the {{Hero 4}}. | ||

In {{DQ4 Chapter 2}} he is in the [[Zamoksva/Endor Teleportal|Endor Shrine]] at night. In {{DQ4 Chapter 3}} he can be found in the [[casino]] at [[Endor]] in which he is looking for the {{Hero 4}}. By {{DQ4 Chapter 5}}, his search took him to [[Mintos]] where a couple of residents would relate his visit to the {{Hero 4}}. | ||
Sometime after, Ragnar headed to the [[House of Prophecy]] to learn more about the {{Hero 4}}, but diverted from that search when learning about the corrupt King of [[Palais de Léon]] from a prisoner at [[Havre Léon]]. | |||
He arrived at the castle with the now-human [[Healie]] just before the other [[Chosen Ones]], and he is seen dispatching the hapless guards trying to prevent him from entering the Maquis' chambers. After the Marquis is defeated by the {{Hero 4}}'s {{Party 4}}, Ragnar joins forces with them. | |||
== | After the downfall of [[Psaro the Manslayer]], Ragnar reported the victory to the King of [[Burland]] and later visited the {{Hero 4}} in the [[Hidden Valley]] with the rest of the {{Party 4}}. | ||

—Trouncing the guards at the Palais de Léon (DS, cell phone)
Ragnar McRyan is a character in the Dragon Quest series that appears as a playable party member in Dragon Quest IV.
A soldier of the Kingdom of Burland, Ragnar is sent to investigate a case of missing children in the village of Strathbaile in the first chapter.
Discounting the prologue, and the fact that all main characters are present in Chapter Six, Ragnar is the only member of the chosen to make cameo appearances in multiple chapters.
Appearance and personality[edit]
Ragnar is a very physically fit man with a lean build that belies his immense strength. He has tanned skin and dark blue hair, with a stern appearance and a large bushy mustache. He wears a pink breastplate with a long red cape attached and a leather skirt called a pteruges over a blue undershirt and shorts. His helmet is pink with a red plume and he wears pink gloves and pink shin guards over a black pair of boots. Ragnar also wears a metal armband on his right bicep, two metal bands on his thighs, and a single metal pauldron on his left shoulder. His armour is reminiscent of the kind used in Ancient Rome, particularly his Legionnaire helmet.
Naturally, he is far more concerned with improving his skill at arms than with scholarly pursuits. He is quite a compassionate person, as evidenced by his righteous fury against the demonic kidnappers and willingness to befriend an innocent monster when most would slay it. Ragnar's fellow soldiers look up to him with admiration and respect, and even the king places the utmost confidence in him. Though Ragnar takes great pride in his strength and skill, he is a humble man at heart and places the safety of others above all else.
Starting with the localization of the DS remake, Ragnar speaks with a Scottish accent.
Appearances[edit]
Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen[edit]
Base stats[edit]
When applied to the Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation class system, Ragnar is a warrior. He has immense strength and resilience, but low agility. Even his character design is a variation of the warrior, which was traditionally in pink armour. He can don nearly all available armour and use most weapons, and should be on the frontlines of battle at all times--his endurance growth is so great it is advisable to set him at the head of the party until the Hero obtains the Zenithian Equipment.
