This is the classic warrior of the three heroes. He can use any armor and weapon in the game.

==== | ====[[Prince of Cannock]]==== | ||
The prince of [[Cannock]] is a blend of the classic warrior and priest archetypes. He cannot use as wide a variety of weapons and armor as the prince of Lorasia but compensates for this with the ability to use magic. However, it should be noted that his magic is not as powerful as that wielded by the princess of Moonbrooke, although he is better at healing magic. This character is hard to track down, but is a great ally. His name is generated at random based on the name of the prince of Cannock, although there is a cheat code to alter his name. | The prince of [[Cannock]] is a blend of the classic warrior and priest archetypes.

==== | ====[[Princess of Moonbrooke]]==== | ||
The princess of [[Moonbrooke]] is the classic wizard of the three heroes. She can use few types of armor and weapons in the game. She shares some of the prince of Cannock's magic, but in addition has several powerful damage spells. This character has been cursed and needs to be freed before she will be able to join her cousins. Like the prince of Cannock her name is determined at random, but can be changed by a cheat code. | The princess of [[Moonbrooke]] is the classic wizard of the three heroes.
