A former bandit, Yangus decided to change his ways after his life was saved by the Hero and he swore his undying loyalty to him. He refers to the {{Hero 8}} as "Guv" (short for "Governor") and considers him a true friend. | ||
Yangus is a slow, but powerful brawler versed in physical combat who augments his abilities with thievery and other useful skills. He wields [[Hammer Weapon Family|Clubs]], {{Axe}}s, and scythes in battle and is no stranger to unarmed combat. | Yangus is a slow, but powerful brawler versed in physical combat who augments his abilities with thievery and other useful skills.

The details of Yangus' early life are unknown outside of his failed efforts to leave his life of crime behind him, as well as his failure in retrieving the [[Venus' Tear]] jewel from the [[Swordsman's Labyrinth]] in an effort to win the affection of the lady bandit [[Red]]. Yangus is an intensely loyal man, pledging his life to the {{Hero 8}} after being saved by him just prior to the game's beginning. This is highlighted by the fact that Yangus has not been wronged by [[Dhoulmagus]] and has no personal motivation for pursuing the evil jester beyond wanting to assist the Hero. This continues as the stakes of the adventure become more dire and the battles fiercer, with Yangus sticking to the group through thick and thin regardless. Though he bickers very frequently with King [[Trode]], Yangus affectionally calls the cursed royal "grandad" (''Ojiisan'') and puts up with his more overbearing aspects. Yangus is initially skeptical of [[Jessica Albert]] and [[Angelo]] joining the group due to the former being a seemingly helpless teenage girl and the latter due to being used as temporary decoys for blame in [[Maella Abbey]], but as they quickly prove their worth he comes to see them as staunch allies and friends. | The details of Yangus' early life are unknown outside of his failed efforts to leave his life of crime behind him, as well as his failure in retrieving the [[Venus' Tear]] jewel from the [[Swordsman's Labyrinth]] in an effort to win the affection of the lady bandit [[Red]].

As seen in his personal skill set, ''Humanity'', Yangus' development centers on discovering his humane side after years living as a criminal. This manifests in battle by developing a repertoire of abilities focused on helping his allies that rang from direct support spells such as [[Share Magic]], to [[Underpants Dance|making a fool of himself to stun the enemy]]. Outside of battle Yangus makes an effort to be friendly when possible, such as when he attempted to console the masked thug in [[Simpleton]] after the latter lost to [[Angelo]] in cards. Unfortunately despite his best efforts Yangus has proven unable to read a room at times, which lead to a bar brawl in the aforementioned instance. | As seen in his personal skill set, ''Humanity'', Yangus' development centers on discovering his humane side after years living as a criminal.
