Hyunckel is a major character in Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai. A young man that was raised by monsters, he mistakenly believes that Avan killed his adoptive father and joins the Dark Army as the leader of the Undead Legion. After battling with Dai, Hyunckel finds out the truth and decides to join him and his companions.

Appearance

Hyunckel is a young man with light skin and an athletic build with shaggy white hair. As the leader of the Undead Legion, he wore a simple outfit of black form-fitting clothing, a light beige kilt and leather boots, cloth wraps around his hands, and a long white cloak that covers most of his body. His dark armour is silver with spiked pauldrons and the design of a skeletal visage on the front of his breastplate and faulds. His helmet only reveals his eyes and has two arrows that point outwards and a long metallic plume.

As one of the Disciple of Avan, Hyunckel wears a sleeveless purple tunic and trousers, white leather boots with grey straps, and the same long white cloak as before.

Story

The armies of the Dark Lord Hadlar razed many towns and villages. Hyunckel was found as a baby in one of the villages that was attacked by the Dark Armies and was raised by General Bartos as his adoptive son. The boy was raised to be kindhearted by Bartos and he treated the other monsters as his family. Eventually, the hero Avan defeated Hadlar, causing the death of his adoptive father and many other monsters. Avan decides to take the young man as the first of his Disciples. However, unbeknownst to him, Hyunckel was biding his time to seek revenge on Avan for his father's death.
