The '''Hero''' is the main character of {{DQ5}}. Like all protagonists in the {{DQSeries}} 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.

==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.

==Story==

{{spoiler|start}}

===Generation 1===

After obtaining a wagon from a trader in [[Fortuna]], and learning how to tame monsters, the pair head north to discover [[Whealbrook]] was razed years ago. During their stay, they find a cache left behind by Pankraz deep inside [[Whealbrook Adit]] - where they find the {{Zenithian sword}} and a letter from Pankraz explaining that he has been searching for The Legendary Hero and the [[Zenithian Equipment|Zenithian gear]], as Madaline was captured by the forces of [[Nadiria]] years ago. Heading west to Roundbeck, the two learn that Bianca and her family have since moved away, as well as some disturbing rumors about [[Coburg]]. Upon returning, they learn Harry's father has passed on leaving his half-brother Wilbur as king, and the Queen Dowager is enacting a tyrannical rule over the kingdom. Sneaking into the castle via a secret entrance, they pass through the dungeons -- where they find the real Queen Dowager held captive in a cell. After entering the courtyard, they speak with Wilbur, who discreetly passes a key to Harry in order to access a teleportal.  Wanting to determine who is the impostor, The Hero and Harry set off to find [[Ra's Mirror]] stored at [[Abovitall Tower]]. With it, the false queen is unmasked and defeated. Harry decides to stay at Coburg to help his brother run the kingdom, leaving The Hero to continue his journey alone.

Back at Mostroferrato, Mr. Briscoletti was impressed at The Hero fulfilling both tasks, and agrees to let him to marry his daughter. However, when she notices Bianca, she wants to make sure The Hero doesn't also have feelings for his childhood friend. Mr. Briscoletti asks to The Hero to decide which woman he wants to marry, promising to finance the wedding eitheer way. Before he can decide, Nera's temperamental sister, Debora, appears and offers herself as a candidate (in the DS remake) as a challenge. After The Hero makes his decision, he and the chosen bride a wed. After the celebrations, Mr. Briscoletti presents them both the Zenithian shield and a personal yacht. With their new ship, the newlyweds sail south to [[Helmunaptra]], where the prophetic ruler, [[Queen Cleohatra]], shows them the {{Zenithian helm}} stored in a vault, awaiting the arrival of The Legendary Hero. After that, they sail east to find The Hero's homeland, [[Gotha]].

Following a tip by Albert, they travel to the [[Lofty Peak]], the birthplace of Madaline, where they obtain a [[Flying Carpet]]. With this, they are able to reach the [[Stairway to Zenithia]], where an elderly Zenithian cryptically mentions that the [[Magma staff]] can open up the cavern leading to the sunken castle of [[Zenithia]]. Traveling down the tunnel, they find a strange man on several mine carts that introduces himself as "Dr Agon," and tags along until they find the castle. There they discover the castle fell into the lake because of the loss of the Golden Orb -- which was destroyed by Ladja. Stumped, he tells The Hero to seek out the faeries, who originally manufactured the orbs.

Riding on the Zenith Dragon's back, the trio fly to the great temple of [[Crocodilopolis]] atop Mount Azimuth. Here, they discover his wife, still a stone statue, has been relocated here and rescues her. With the family reunited, all that remains is to travel to [[Nadiria]] to find Madeline and confront the [[Nimzo|Grandmaster of the Underworld]].

==Titles==

:*Madason's tattered clothing would inspire the illustrations of the Monster Master [[Monster Master|vocation]] in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] remake of ''VII'' and all versions of ''X''.

* In the English version, [[Pankraz|father]] recommends the name Madason for The Hero. Humorously, if the player chooses the name Madason, then the father will recommend [[Erdrick]] instead.
