Pankraz Gotha is a character from Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride.
He is a somewhat rough-looking man who is the father of the Hero and the former king of Gotha.
Appearance and Personality
Pankraz has the looks of a well-worn traveler and could likely be passed off as a toned down barbarian given his frizzy hair, Fang necklace, Leather kilt, and a partial Breastplate that reveals some of his upper-body musculature. His personality is far from barbaric, however; Pankraz is a righteous and strong-willed sort, often willing to lend a hand and remaining conscious of those who may expose themselves to peril. He can be stern at times with his son but is nevertheless a protective parent, always healing the Hero's HP if it ever drops even the slightest from a single battle.
Story
Pankraz sets out with the Hero on a long journey, only Pankraz knows fully why. The only information the Hero is given is that they are looking for something that the father holds dear.
Abilities
While only available as a party member for a short time, and in small intervals at that, Pankraz is an incredibly powerful individual at the start of the game, out-leveling essentially every monster the player first encounters. He primarily attacks, having a 25% rate of scoring Critical Hits, but can also use healing magic and will always heal the Hero to full health if even a smidgen of his HP is lost in a battle. This can extend to Saber in the remakes due to being able to use Pankraz's healing spells manually out of battle.
One of Pankraz' most notable skills, and one not given to any other party member or monster in the game, is his ability to occasionally act twice per round, as well as unlimited use of his healing spells as his MP regenerates after use of either spell.
