'''Ortega''' | '''Ortega''' is a character from ''[[Dragon Quest III]]''. He is the father of the [[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|Hero]] and a famous hero in his own right. He departed from [[Aliahan]] at the king's request that he slay the archfiend [[Baramos]] before his evil machinations bring chaos to the world. By the Hero's 16th birthday, Ortega was believed to have fallen into a volcano and died, and so the Hero set out to finish their father's quest. | ||
