The Hero is the main character of Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride. Like all protagonists in the Dragon Quest series the player provides him with a name of his or her choosing, though many fans refer to him as Madason for distinction, being the name his father wanted to give to him at birth in the opening scene.
The default name for The Hero in-game in Japanese is Abel (アベル). In the CD Theater audio drama, the official novelizations, and Your Story, The Hero is named Luca (リュカ,Ryuka).
Appearance and Personality
As a child, he wears a light green tunic tied around his waist with a rope, silver bracelets on both arms, dark gray boots on his feet; a wooden stick is held in his right hand. As an adult, he wears a white tunic, partly torn; a leather belt and green pouch around his waist, silver bracelets on both arms, blue socks and dark gray boots on his feet; a wooden staff is held in his right hand, his hair is also tied back into a ponytail.
As with all Heroes in the series, he is the avatar of the player and thus his personality is left for them to interpret. That aside, several NPCs remark that he has a profound sincerity in his eyes--it is this trait that inspires monsters to join him.
Story
Stats
Madason can equip certain swords, boomerangs, whips, staffs, flails, and even the metal king series of equipment. His HP growth is very high, likely to balance out his low resilience stat, with all other attributes varying in growth throughout the game. His luck stat is interesting, as it's growth rate is very poor in the beginning but grows by leaps and bounds in the second generation onwards.
The Hero is a very versatile fighter. He also is very good in magic, although, as is the case with most Heroes, his spells mainly revolve around healing and support.

- A Hero's Father - after his son obtains the Zenithian helm; this also changes his title to Legendary Hero.
Trivia
- Even though after the second timeshift The Hero is 24, he is still physically 16 because he never aged while he was turned to stone. It is the same for whichever wife The Hero chooses.
- Interestingly, The Hero actually has some spoken lines in the game: when the six year old Hero meets his adult version in Whealbrook, as well as when traveling back in time through the portrait, the "other" Hero has spoken lines upon talking to them.
- One of The Hero's titles, "Monster Master," is very similar to Psaro's title in the remakes of Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen.
- Madason's tattered clothing would inspire the illustrations of the Monster Master vocation in the Nintendo 3DS remake of VII and all versions of X.
- In the English version, father recommends the name Madason for The Hero. Humorously, if the player chooses the name Madason, then the father will recommend Erdrick instead.
- In the Japanese PS2/DS remake version, The Hero's father suggests the name Aberu, while the player chooses this name at beginning, Pankraz will want to name him Tonnura.
- He is given a color palette reference for one of the 8 costumes for The Hero in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, being the alternate coloration for Erdrick.
- The Hero's adult voice actor in the CD Theater also voices another of Akira Toriyama's characters, Vegeta, one of the main protagonists in Dragon Ball Z.
