Even though much of his time and effort goes toward accruing [[gold]] coins, 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 4}}, and smuggling a [[Chimaera wing]] to [[List of characters in Dragon Quest IV#Other characters|Finn]] so he can escape jail). | Even though much of his time and effort goes toward accruing [[gold]] coins, 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 4}} to the end, he jokes about leaving the party after having collected the [[Zenithian Equipment]] since that was his original goal to begin with.

While Torneko appears to be loyal to the {{Hero 4}} 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 4}}, {{Meena}} and {{Maya}} at [[Pharos Beacon]]. Since he considered the {{MFamilies}}s 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]]). | ||
Although he can equip almost any weapon he likes, Torneko is pictured holding the [[Astraea's abacus]] in the official character art for {{DQH2}}. | Although he can equip almost any weapon he likes, Torneko is pictured holding the [[Astraea's abacus]] in the official character art for {{DQH2}}. | ||

Torneko wakes up in {{DQ4 Chapter 3}} in his house in [[Lakanaba]] to work his job at the local weapons shop while supporting his wife Tessie and his son Tipper.

However, he feels that this life is not good enough for him, so he sets on a journey to fulfill his dream, which is to own a shop. He then hears about the [[Steel Strongbox]] that allows him to travel anywhere without worrying about dying, because it keeps all of the {{Gold}} when he dies, instead of taking half of it. | ||
Torneko ends up getting the strongbox in a cave up north and heads south to [[Ballymoral]], where he comes across Old Man Finnegan's son Finn who is in prison and asks him for a [[Chimaera wing]] to return home to Lakanaba, which Torneko does. While at the castle, he learns of Archie O'Tect, who was supposed to repair the bridge between Ballymoral and [[Endor]], and that he hasn't arrived. He manages to find the architect in the north in what appeared to be a town called [[Reginhart]]. Hearing of some foxes in the area, however, Torneko returns to Lakanaba to request the use of Finn's dog [[Fido]] to seek out a fox, which proves to be successful. As a result, Archie resumes his duty to repair the bridge. Thus, Torneko heads to Endor, but not before receiving a [[Prince's Letter|letter]] from Prince [[Regan]] to give to Princess {{Veronica 4}} in the other castle. | Torneko ends up getting the strongbox in a cave up north and heads south to [[Ballymoral]], where he comes across Old Man Finnegan's son Finn who is in prison and asks him for a [[Chimaera wing]] to return home to [[Lakanaba]], which Torneko does.

Torneko made it to the castle and meets an old man who wants to sell his shop to someone with permission from King Norman. The King states that he will consider the merchant's request. While in the throne room, he reads the letter to The Princess detailing that King Shamus of Ballymoral is seeking to conquer Endor, prompting Endor's King to give him the [[Royal Missive|Royal Scroll]] (which is a request for the children of both castles to marry, and thus avoiding the need to go to war). Torneko delivers the Scroll to King Shamus, who agrees to dismiss his plans. Soon after, King Norman allows the merchant to open [[Torneko's shop|a shop]], which he does and calls his family over to their new home. | Torneko made it to the castle and meets an old man who wants to sell his shop to someone with permission from King Norman.

He needed 60,000 {{Gold}} 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. | ||

Upon finding the {{MFamilies}}s to be too strong, he made a plea to the {{Hero 4}} 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 the first meeting with the player, the merchant gifts the traveler with a copy of his beloved abacus. Torneko also offers a small quest, which ends with him rewarding the player with a [[feathered cap]]. | |||
