Cesar (ツェザール, Tsuezāru) is one of the main characters of Dragon Quest Heroes II. He is a mighty warrior and the crown prince of Dunisia.
Appearance and Personality[edit]
Cesar is a muscular young man that has swept back light brown hair with a single forelock and green eyes. He wears a black sleeveless shirt and black trousers tucked into steel-toed boots, a metal breastplate, faulds, and vambraces, and a pair of purple fingerless gloves. On his back he carries his large greatsword in a scabbard that goes across his chest and a long purple cape with a royal insignia around his neck.
In his youth, Cesar attended the same military academy as Lazarel and Teresa. Despite being slightly older and in a higher grade than the two cousins, he preferred their company over his classmates, though Cesar claims it is because someone had to watch over Lazarel’s reckless tendencies. Following their graduation and the four years leading up to the start of the story, he became estranged from the two at some point. While Cesar tries to act regale and mature, he often tends to butt heads with Lazarel, which usually forces Teresa to be act as their mediator.
Cesar also holds a deep attachment to his late father, one that lead to a deep anger and desire for vengeance upon his father’s assassination. This fury resulted in his attempts to start a war with the kingdom of Harba over the belief that the ruling king was the culprit in the affair, and claims that he would raze the kingdom of Ingenia to the ground if the culprit was there.
Abilities[edit]
In battle, he wields an enormous greatsword, taking over from Psaro from the first game. He uses a combination of both physical and magical abilities in combat, such as Solar Flair and Bazoom. When he is in High Tension mode, his hair spikes up. His Coup de Grâce is Blade of Ultimate Power.
