Hero (Dragon Quest V)

The Hero of Dragon Quest V. Artwork by Akira Toriyama for the DS remake, Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride.

The hero of Dragon Quest V starts off as a young boy who is journeying with his father Papas on a boat. As the hero and Papas are getting of the boat the hero meets Flora who he will meet later in the game. When they arrive in the town of Santa Rosa the hero also meets Sancho and Bianca whom he later befriends. While Papas takes care of his own business the hero goes off to have adventures of his own and befriends Bianca and the sabrecat Borongo. After Papas finishes his business he and the hero leave for Reinhart castle where Papas and the hero are in charge of keeping an eye on the young prince Henry but when Henry is abducted Papas rushes off to the cave where he was taken and the hero follows soon after. In the cave you meet up with Papas and find Henry but are ambushed by monsters. Papas stays behind to let the hero and Henry escape and when you reach then end of the cave you run into the demon Gema who easily defeats your party. Papas catches up to you and then gives his life to save the hero and Henry but not before telling you about your past and how he was once king but left on a journey to find your mother after she was kidnapped by monsters. Afterwards you are sent to a slave camp for ten years. When ten years pass you are now grown up and manage to finally escape along with Henry and another woman.

Later on in the game you meet Bianca again in a mountain village while looking for two rings for Ludman's daughter, Flora's, marraige so you can get the Zenithian Shield. She accompanies you back to the town of Salabona where Ludman asks that you choose to marry either Flora or Bianca. Whoever you choose will marry you and travel together with you. When you reach your kingdom of Granvania you will discover that your wife is pregnant and she will stay in the castle to rest. After returning from the cave of trials you find out that your wife is giving birth and soon after she has a baby boy and girl.

While trying to rescue her you learn that she has the blood of the legendary hero in her and you are defeated and turned to stone for several years until your kids come and break the spell on you.
