'''Torneko Taloon''' is a character in | '''Torneko Taloon''' ('''Torneko''' in Japanese, '''Taloon''' in the NES localization) is a character in ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]'', ''[[Torneko: The Last Hope]]'' and ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''. In Japan, he was also featured in the games ''[[Torneko no Daibōken: Fushigi no Dungeon]]'' and ''[[Dragon Quest Characters: Torneko no Daibōken 3]].'' | ||
==Appearance and Personality== | |||
Torneko wears a loose muumuu, chosen for comfort and practicality over fashionability. He hefts a giant backpack of sorts at all times, which he uses to hold his wares, personal belongings and, presumably, some of the party's items. He has a mustache and huge belly, both of which help to bring out his general jolliness. He has blue hair and a blue mustache. | |||
He is initially compelled to leave his quiet home due to an unquenchable wanderlust; his wife is very understanding and promises to look after their home and child while Torneko runs off in search of wealth and adventure. | |||
Even though much of his time and effort goes toward accruing [[gold coin]]s, he doesn't do this out of greed, but to make his wife happy and for altruistic endeavors. Overall, he is a very kind person. On multiple occasions Torneko goes out of his way to help others in need, regardless of whether it will benefit him for doing so or not (examples including delivering [[Regan|Prince Regan's]] love letter to [[Veronica]], and smuggling a [[Chimera Wing]] to [[Finn]] so he can escape jail). | |||
While not necessarily greedy, Torneko has the typical mindset of a merchant, always looking for opportunities to set up shop and make a profit, even at rather inopportune times and locations. While Torneko appears to be loyal to [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|the hero]] to the end, he jokes about leaving the party after having collected the [[Zenithian Equipment]] since that was his original goal to begin with. He does seem to have a rather cowardly side. As seen in the party chat, Torneko would sometimes volunteer to remain behind in the wagon right before facing a formidable adversary, only to claim he was kidding right afterwards. Torneko is often noted by his boss to be lazy. This is further seen when he meets the Hero, [[Meena]] and [[Maya]] at [[Pharos Beacon]]. Since he considered the monsters too tough for him to handle himself, he sticks the task of restoring light to the flames to the others before heading back to [[Porthtrunnel]] (although this action could be somewhat justified by the fact that Torneko had a bounty on his head for rebuilding the [[Trans-Montane Tunnel]]). | |||
Although he can equip almost any weapon he likes, Torneko is pictured holding the [[Astraea's abacus]] in the official character art for ''[[Dragon Quest Heroes II: Twin Kings and the Prophecy's End|Dragon Quest Heroes II]]''. | |||

====Story==== | |||
Torneko wakes up in | Torneko wakes up in Chapter 3 in his house in [[Lakanaba]] to work his job at the local weapons shop while supporting his wife [[Tessie]] and his son Tipper. However, he feels that this life is not good enough for him, so he sets on a journey to fulfill his dream, which is to own a shop. He then hears about the [[Steel Strongbox]] that allows him to travel anywhere without worrying about dying, because it keeps all of the [[Gold_coin|Gold]] when he dies, instead of taking half of it. | ||
Torneko ends up getting the strongbox in a cave up north and heads south to [[Ballymoral]], where he comes across Old Man Finnegan's son Finn who is in prison and asks him for a [[chimaera wing]] to return home to Lakanaba, which Torneko does. While at the castle, he learns of Archie O'Tect, who was supposed to repair the bridge between Ballymoral and [[Endor]], and that he hasn't arrived. He manages to find the architect in the north in what appeared to be a town called [[Reginhart]]. | |||
Hearing of some foxes in the area, however, Torneko returns to Lakanaba to request the use of Finn's dog [[Fido]] to seek out a fox, which proves to be successful. As a result, Archie resumes his duty to repair the bridge. Thus, Torneko heads to Endor, but not before receiving a [[Prince's Letter|letter]] from Prince [[Regan]] to give to Princess [[Veronica (Dragon Quest IV)|Veronica]] in the other castle. | |||
Torneko | Torneko made it to the castle and meets an old man who wants to sell his shop to someone with permission from King Norman. The King states that he will consider the merchant's request. While in the throne room, he reads the letter to The Princess detailing that King Shamus of Ballymoral is seeking to conquer Endor, prompting Endor's King to give him the [[Royal Scroll]] (which is a request for the children of both castles to marry, and thus avoiding the need to go to war). | ||
Torneko delivers the Scroll to King Shamus, who agrees to dismiss his plans. Soon after, King Norman allows the merchant to open [[Torneko's shop|a shop]], which he does and calls his family over to their new home. | |||
Afterwards, Torneko's attention is turned toward an old man who wanted to continue developing the [[Trans-Montane Tunnel]] which will lead from Endor to the country of [[Casabranca]]. He needed 60,000 | Afterwards, Torneko's attention is turned toward an old man who wanted to continue developing the [[Trans-Montane Tunnel]] which will lead from Endor to the country of [[Casabranca]]. He needed 60,000 gold coins to achieve this, which Torneko helped out with (through making money at his shop, as well as providing a set of [[Steel broadsword]]s and [[Iron armour]]s to Endor's warriors). | ||
He managed to cross the desert at [[Last Chance Saloon]] through the aid of a caravan,<ref>Mentioned by the treasure room guard at Casabranca during the day.</ref> and passed through [[Bath]]<ref> | Once the tunnel is completed, Torneko traveled through on behalf of the old man and accepts the task of carrying on his dream by traveling the world by [[ship]] and gathering many legendary treasures. | ||
He managed to cross the desert at [[Last Chance Saloon]] through the aid of a caravan,<ref>Mentioned by the treasure room guard at Casabranca during the day.</ref> and passed through [[Bath]]<ref>mentioned by a residence at night in a house.</ref>. | |||
Torneko made it to [[Porthtrunnel]] and paid to have a ship made, while hearing of an [[Conrad Hilton|old man]] in [[Mintos]] who has a [[Treasure map (Dragon Quest IV)|treasure map]]. He left upon hearing of monsters who corrupted the lighthouse fire at [[Pharos Beacon]] to restore peace to the oceans. Upon finding the monsters to be too strong, he made a plea to [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|the Hero]] and company to find the [[Holy Embers]] and to defeat the ones causing the problems at the lighthouse. They agree to do so, and are joined by Torneko shortly after, who provides use of his ship for travels. | |||
Upon defeating [[Psaro the Manslayer]] ([[Aamon]] in the remakes), the party returns to their lives with Torneko, returning to his family in Endor, and later showing up with the group in [[Hidden Valley]] to see the Hero. | |||

In the ''[[Dragon Quest III]]'' class system, Taloon has elements of both a [[Merchant]] and a [[Gadabout]]. As a merchant, he can protect the party's gold when they go down, and use his [[appraise]] ability to give basic information and loss/return estimates on items in the party's possession. However, he also has the goof-off's tendency to not follow orders in battle, bellowing loudly, staring blankly into space, or telling naff gags when ordered to attack. He can equip most weapons and armour, and has respectable HP and level growth, and is otherwise a decent fighter; however, his defence leaves something to be desired. | |||
