The '''Prince of Cannock''' is a character in the {{DQSeries}} that appears as a playable party member in {{DQ2}}. He is one of three descendents of [[Erdrick]] who journeys to defeat [[Hargon]] after his attack on [[Moonbrooke]], and is the second playable character added to the party. He also has a sister who is the [[Princess of Cannock]].

The Prince of Cannock's abilities are a mix between both of his cousins, the [[Hero (Dragon Quest II)|Prince of Midenhall]] and the [[Princess of Moonbrooke]]. Though he is physically strong, he is weaker than the Prince of Midenhall, and while he can use magic, most of his spells are not as powerful as those available to the Princess of Moonbrooke. In terms of statistics and spell choices, the Prince of Cannock has more in common with the other Heroes of the series.

Upon learning of the tragedy that befell Moonbrooke, the Prince of Cannock set out on a journey, first travelling to the [[Wellspring of the Hero]].  Later, he met the Prince of Midenhall at the inn in [[Leftwyne]], where the two cousins joined forces and began travelling together.

==Appearance and personality==
Of the three titular luminaries of the legendary line, the Prince of Cannock falls in the middle in terms of height. In the Japanese box art and all other versions of the game, the prince has shaggy orange hair and wears a green tabard with Erdrick's crest on the front and an orange cape attached over a form-fitting black jumpsuit. He also wears green gloves and boots, as well as a pair of goggles on his head. In the American box art for the NES version of the game, he is still wearing the odd goggles on his head, but his tunic has been replaced with a full suit of green armor. The Prince is also seen carrying a green/black shield with a red jewel in the middle and wields a nondescript [[rapier]].

In the Japanese version, the Prince is described as a slacker, a drinker, and an overall really fun guy; however, in the NES American version the Prince of Cannock is described as a studious young man immersed in his studies. This is presumably due to the heavy censorship [[Nintendo|Nintendo of America]] enforced during the late 80s and early 90s. Later versions are loyal to the Japanese script and refer to the Prince in the same way.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ2}}===
The Prince of Cannock sets out to aid his cousin, the Prince of Midenhall, when word of the sacking of Moonbrooke castle reaches him. Unfortunately, the Prince does not stay in one place for long and leads the player on a wild goose chase until meeting up with him at the inn of [[Leftwyne]].

Later in the game in all versions besides the NES original, the prince becomes ill after staying at the inn in [[Beran]]. The other heroes can travel to a small island with a single tree tile upon it and retrieve a [[Yggdrasil Leaf]] in order to cure him and continue adventuring, or may leave him behind. Doing such only slightly affects the ending of the game, where the prince's dialogue bemoans how awful his luck is.

When the Luminary visits Cannock and speaks with the king, the monarch explains that his son vanished in a puff of smoke the moment he declared his intent to vanquish the Children of Hargon, and asks the Luminary to seek him out. True to form, the Prince of Cannock is always one step ahead of the party, and the group must visit the [[Roamer Encampment]], the [[Imperial Pantry of Parthenia]], and [[Whealbrook]] before being told the young man is wandering in the [[Neverglade]] forest.

===''[[Dragon Quest of the Stars]]''===
The prince appears as a recruitable ally in the scenarios based on ''Dragon Quest II''. His habit of keeping one step ahead of the player persists in the game, much to [[Cyril]]'s outrage.

The Prince of Cannock appears as part of the game's ''Dragon Quest II'' event that began on May 27, 2021. He can participate as a helper after clearing Chapter 1, Episode 5 of the event and his outfit can be purchased by exchanging gold pass medals.

===''[[Dragon Quest Tact]]''===
