He is very loyal to Princess Alena, as evidenced by how he immediately rushes after her when she escapes the castle confines. He is deeply concerned for her future as the ruler of [[Zamoksva]], and disapproves of her capricious attitude. He often laments what the young princess' late mother would say if she say her daughter acting so unbecomingly, and has spent some considerable time trying to encourage her to behave in a more traditionally appropriate fashion. Despite failing routinely at this, the old man is genuinely fond his charge and cares for her as a grandfather would. True to his age, he is a grumpy and cantankerous senior who will not hesitate to voice his complaints, ranging from the courting rituals of the younger generations to the idiosyncrasies of his fellow chosen. Despite his vitriolic tongue these personal criticisms are meant to help his companions improve themselves, showing that his grandfatherly nature is not limited to his tsarevna.

===Story===
Chapter 2 begins with Alena begging her father, the King 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 is overcome with frustration and escapes the castle.

Alena and her companions are not seen again until Chapter 5, when Kiryl has fallen under a dangerous fever while in [[Mintos]] (from which they traveled to from [[Porthtrunnel]]). Alena and a band of three mercenaries set out to the [[Feverfew root]]'s reported [[Imperial Pantry of Parthenia|location]] to try and recover some to cure Kiryl, but fails. However, [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|The Hero]] 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.

====Abilities====
===Stats===
As one can tell from a glance, Borya is a [[mage]]. He has high MP and Wisdom, but low physical attributes. Borya is one of the more popular characters in the game due to the powerful beneficial [[status effect]]s he can infer on the party, as well as his ice-based offensive spells. However, the weapons and armour he can equip are quite limited, and he can only [[Leather shield|equip]] [[Scale shield|three]] [[Liquid metal shield|shields]].

In the original [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] version of ''Dragon Quest IV'', Borya was known as Brey. It is notable that this name translation stays truer to the original Japanese ''Dragon Quest IV''.  [[Plus Alpha]]'s more recent translation of the game for the Nintendo DS took many more liberties with the original translation, adding things such as regional accents and other small changes.  Thus the name 'Borya' is not quite the same name as in the original Japanese version of the game.

In the NES version of the game, recruiting Borya can be delayed until Kiryl is cured.  The [[Sony PlayStation]] and [[Nintendo DS]] version has a [[Thief's Key]] door placed in the [[Imperial Pantry of Parthenia]], which Alena & her allies will only show up to open if Borya is recruited in The Hero's party.
