The '''Prince of Midenhall''' is one of the three playable characters from {{Dragon Quest II}}.
The '''Prince of Midenhall''', also known as the '''Prince of Lorasia''' (ローレシア王子), is one of the three playable characters from ''[[Dragon Quest II]]''.  He is a descendant of [[Erdrick]] who responds to the sudden rising threat of [[Hargon]].  He inherited all of his ancestor's physical strength, but unlike his cousins the [[Prince of Cannock]] and the [[Princess of Moonbrooke]], he cannot use magic, and as such is the only ''Dragon Quest'' main hero who doesn't possess any magical ability. The Japanese version depicts the Prince of Midenhall as a man of convictions who is determined to protect his kingdom and his world.  This also holds true in the American version.


He is a descendant of [[Erdrick]] who responds to the sudden rising threat of [[Hargon]].  He inherited all of his ancestor's physical strength, but unlike his cousins the [[Prince of Cannock]] and the [[Princess of Moonbrooke]], he cannot use magic, and as such is the only {{Main Series}} main [[hero]] who doesn't possess any magical ability.
==Appearance and Personality==
The Hero wears blue for the most part, though the goggles that rest on his helmet are brown. His sword is typical aside from the hand cover built into the hilt, and his shield is adorned with Erdrick's symbol.


The name given to the hero in the Japanese [[Dragon Quest II CD Theater|CD theater]] drama and novelizations is '''Allen''' (アレン).
Even though the Hero is a silent protagonist and his personailty is open for the player to define, a strong sense of justice can be seen in the begining of the game, as he sets out to stop [[Hargon]]'s evil cult without so much as a "But thou must" question from the King.


==Appearance and Personality==
Although the Hero is the only nameable character, he remains equal in stature with his 2 companions in Dragon Quest II, the [[Prince of Cannock]] and the [[Princess of Moonbrooke]]. All 3 are descendants of Erdrick. This varies from other games in the series where only the hero is of notable birth compared to his party companions.
The Hero wears blue for the most part, though the goggles that rest on his helmet are brown. He wears a blue tunic over black form-fitting long-sleeved shirt and pants, blue shoes with light blue socks, and blue gloves. Across his chest is a swordbelt with a scabbard attached to the back. He also wears a brown belt around his waist with a small brown pouch on it and a belt buckle in the shape of [[Emblem of Erdrick|Erdrick's symbol]]. His sword is typical aside from the hand cover built into the hilt, and his shield is adorned with [[Erdrick]]'s symbol. His hair varies between illustrations, where it's shown to be black in color and trimmed short in older pieces and unkempt silver in later works. In many modern depictions, he is often seen wielding the [[Thunderbolt blade]].


Even though the Hero is a silent protagonist and his personality is open for the player to define, a strong sense of justice can be seen in the beginning of the game, as he sets out to stop [[Hargon]] and his evil cult without so much as a "But thou must" proposal from the King.
==Story==

====Equipment====
As the most physically powerful of the trio, the Prince of [[Midenhall]] has access to the widest range of weapons and armor. He can equip every weapon and piece of armor available, including heavier ones that his cousins cannot use, such as the [[Sledgehammer]]. This means he is also the only character who has access to the legendary [[Erdrick Equipment|Erdrick's equipment]], and as such, should use them when facing [[Hargon]].
