"And to those of my heirs unlucky enough to be born one hundred and fifty years after myself, I pray for you."

—Rodolfo's diary (DS, Cell phone)

Rodolfo Briscoletti is an ancestor of Rodrigo Briscoletti, the stupendously rich businessman from Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride.

Appearances

Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride

A century and a half ago, Rodolfo fought the titanic monster Bjørn the Behemoose and sealed him away in a magic jar. The jar was left in The Pothold, and Rodolfo's descendants became its custodians, awaiting the day the jar changed from blue to red and the beast was set loose once again. Rodolfo estimated that the seal would fail in 150 years, which happened to be during the lifetime of his descendant Rodrigo.

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age

Sealing away monsters was apparently a habit for Rodolfo, as the Luminary and his party discover that on the morning of the bride choice, everyone in the Briscoletti manor has been transformed into copies of Rodrigo by the Pilferpithecus, another monster who escaped captivity in a sealing jar and sought revenge against his descendants.

Trivia

• An immigrant town candidate named "Rudst" (ルドスト) who appears only in the PS1 version of Dragon Quest IV was implied to be an even more distant ancestor of the Briscoletti family. He is the inventor of the sealing jar, and states his intention to pass this device on to his descendants.
