When the mayor asks him to go to the next town to sell goods in order to buy a crown for the village's upcoming ceremony the Hero gladly accepts and begins the first step of his journey. When he returns to the village the celebration begins. When Tania who is praying to the goddess becomes possessed the Hero is told by the spirit that he must venture out and defeat the demon king Murdaw and discover his true identity. Later on in the game it is discovered that the Hero is actually the prince of Somnia of the Real World.

Remake changes

  • In the SFC release of VI, the Hero had an innate 30% resistance to zap-type damage, and a full immunity to all party-removal abilities.


Trivia

  • The hero underwent a drastic redesign in the early planning stages of VI, shifting from a moody looking warrior with red hair to the positive, blue-haired lad players are familiar with. This discarded design would be tweaked and become the basis for Terry.
  • His spiky blue hair is reminiscent of Nera's son (see Trading Card image in gallery).
