{{translation|'''Kiryl'''|クリフト,|Kurifuto}} is a character in the {{DQSeries}} that appears as a playable party member in {{DQ4}}. He is an apprentice [[Priest]] in the castle of [[Zamoksva]], and a close friend and retainer of Tsarevna [[Alena]]. When the latter escapes from the confines of her room to explore the world, he elects to accompany her along with the court magician [[Borya]] in the [[Dragon Quest IV Chapter 2|second chapter]].

He has gone on to make regular appearances in the ''[[Itadaki Street (series)|Itadaki Street]]'' series and is one of the thirteen playable characters in {{DQH}}, as well as returning in {{DQH2}}. Kiryl also appears as a special hero character in {{DQTact}}.

Kiryl wears a green and white Kalimavkion resembling the traditional hat of a priest, along with a green overcoat and a white long-sleeved undershirt. He carries a long and narrow sword on his back, and keeps a muted orange scarf around his neck. From the Nintendo DS version onwards, the cross on Kiryl's hat has been altered to a more generic shield emblem in order to avoid any resemblance to real world religious imagery. The same emblem appears on his belt as a buckle and also appears on Alena and Borya's outfits, as well.

Like many of the other characters, his appearance in the ''Heroes'' series of games has been embellished slightly. He now wears metal gauntlets over a pair of black gloves and greaves over his boots. His overcoat has more buttons on the front and there is ornate blue and gold designs near the hem. He also carries a spear on his back, which is his weapon of choice. Kiryl has gone on to use spears in other spinoffs, such as ''Tact''.

 

 

Starting with the localization of the {{DS}} remake, Kiryl now speaks with a Slavic dialect. The remakes also revealed that he is scared of heights if you use the party chat in certain areas, most notably [[El Forado]].

{{DQ4 Chapter 2}} begins with Alena begging her father, the Tsar of Zamoksva, to let her explore the world, since strong fighters are needed more and more in their troubled times, with the Underworld creeping out of dormancy. However, he refuses, saying that with monsters showing increasing aggression, it's simply too dangerous to let her leave the safety of the castle. Alena goes back to her room but, within a few minutes, has been overcome with frustration and escapes the castle.

Kiryl and [[Borya]], her retainers, give chase; they're resigned to not being able to make her stay put, but if she's going to leave, they can't allow her to travel alone. The three set out and soon come to a small village being terrorized by a local monster continually demanding young girls as a sacrifice. Alena immediately heads to the local church to offer herself as the next sacrifice, but she has no intention of dying; as soon as the demon shows its face, she, Kiryl and Broya spring into action and take it out, saving the village.

Alena and her companions are not seen again until {{DQ4 Chapter 5}}, when Kiryl has fallen under a dangerous fever and is bedridden in [[Mintos]]. Alena and a band of three mercenaries set out to the reported location of the [[Feverfew root]] to try & recover some to cure Kiryl, but fails. However, The {{Hero 4}} succeeds, and upon learning of their destiny the three immediately join the party for the remainder of the game. Some time later, they return to Zamoksva, finding the cause of its troubles to be the demon [[Balzack|Baalzack]], whom they kill in retribution and for the greater good.

The {{NES}} Version of Kiryl is infamous for his poorly-programmed AI, which would continuously cast the [[Whack]] and [[Thwack]] spells above all others, even when healing is necessary and the enemy is immune to them. While this problem was eliminated since the remakes permit manual control, it has become a running gag related to the character, such as his special appearance in {{DQMBR}}.

Kiryl is infamous in the original 8-bit Version of ''IV'' for continuously casting Whack and Thwack during boss battles, wasting his {{MP}} and time when he should be keeping the party alive. The reason for this is how the A.I. is programmed in the {{NES}} Version: instead of fully comprehending a monsters' resistances and vulnerabilities at the start of battle as in later titles, characters "learn" these aspects as the battle continues. It will take up to three turns to fully understand what will work against a given foe for any character regardless of their wisdom stat. This issue is further compounded by the fact that the game reads each mode switch or transformation an enemy undertakes as an entirely new for A.I. processing, and made even worse by the fact that the final boss has no less than seven "forms".  

Thankfully this bad behavior was sorted out in the {{PSX}} remake and all subsequent versions, wherein the A.I. logic processing has been improved to give characters a full understanding of foes at the beginning of battle.

Kiryl is present in the near-future version of [[Reaper's Peak]], trying to prevent Alena from climbing down the well to confront [[Nokturnus]].

*[[Kiryl's clothes]] - Recieved when talking to him.

*[[Kiryl's kamilavka]] - Recieved when it is the player's birthday.

*[[Kiryl's trousers]] - Recieved after the inn is fully expanded.

*[[Kiryl's boots]] - Recieved when the Hero is a Priest.

Kiryl can be summoned to perform  a special attack. After leaping from the wagon, Kiryl tries and fails to cast [[Thwack]] multiple times, before finally stomping on the text windows in disgust and (successfully) unleashing a magnified version of [[Kathwack]] in the form of angry spirits. Though these ghosts cannot inflict instant death, they deal colossal damage to all enemies.

==={{DQH}} and {{DQH2}}===

Just as in ''Monster Battle Road'', Kiryl's [[Coup de Grâce]] is trying and failing multiple times to cast Thwack before casting Kathwack. He appears alongside his Tsarevna, meeting up with [[Luceus]] and [[Aurora]] as a rampaging [[Gigantes]] is attacking the city of Arba. The two of them are the first of the offworld characters that the heroes meet up with and are pursuing a thief, who turns out to be [[Robbin' 'Ood]]. In order to differentiate him from other playable characters, Kiryl uses [[spear]]s as his weapon of choice in the game, being able to attacks such as [[Multithrust]]. Although he does not possess any healing magic in the first game, he is able to cast [[Kabuff]] and [[Whack]]. In ''Heroes II'', Kiryl and Alena are among the few returning characters that take part in the story mode, as well. He also gains healing magic in the form of [[Reheal]].

===''[[Dragon Quest Rivals]]''===

===''[[Dragon Quest Tact]]''===

Kiryl appears as an S-rank character of the Hero family as part of the limited ''Dragon Quest IV'' event, appearing on his own banner along with [[Bodkin bowyer]]. He can learn [[Priest's Blessing]], Leg Thrust, [[Multiheal]] naturally and his Coup de Grâce is [[Maulstrom|Über Maulstrom]]. His Leader Perk lowers the [[Attack|ATK]] of enemies by 10% in a 5x5 square around him and his personal skill Defender of Zamoksva restores his MP and greatly raises his [[Defence|DEF]] for 3 turns on the third turn of battle. Kiryl also appears as a boss in the special Three Heroes boss battle along with Alena and Ragnar.
