Rab (ロウ, ), also know by his formal title of Lord Robert, is a character in Dragon Quest XI. Despite his advanced age, he displays considerable abilities as a martial artist and magical prowess. He is a former king of Dundrasil, and is the grandfather of the Luminary.

Appearance and personality[edit]

Rab is an elderly gentleman with a bushy pair of eyebrows and matching mustache, and covers his bald head with a red fez. He wears a red open vest with intricate yellow patterns over a long-sleeved white tunic and a black sash worn around his waist. He also wears a pair of orange trousers, leather shoes worn with yellow socks, and he walks around with the help of a cane. Rab is also always seen carrying a large backpack.

Rab is a jolly old man who does his best to keep a positive attitude despite the tragedies his family has suffered in the past as well as the hardship he and his companions endure on their journey, often humming a tune to himself to relief stress. Rab rarely loses his temper with anyone, and even when he scolds a character he follows it up with sage advice gleaned from the experiences of his long life. In regards to monsters, however, Rab is much more ferocious and will typically have the most dynamic and aggressive Party Chat just before boss battles and fixed encounters--he still carries a strong grudge for the assault on castle Dundrasil and murder of his daughter and son-in-law.

Rab is seen as a grandfatherly figure by all members of the party, especially Jade and the Luminary due to their shared past and blood relation, respectively. His laid back and casual demeanor made him a popular figure among Erdrea's royals during his time as king-- and later advisor--of Dundrasil, speaking plainly and amicably with aristocracy and peasants alike. During his travels with Jade he has rubbed elbows with important figures in several towns, which makes certain accommodations much easier for the party in the present. Being a former disciple of Grand Master Pang during his childhood training in Angri-La, Rab practices a daily fitness routine based on the martial art that can be seen when the party is camping. Rab is also a bit of a dirty old man, keeping a copy of the Ogler's Digest magazine on his person, and he longs to get a copy of the out-of-print first issue. He frequently comments on the more curvaceous women the group encounters, particularly bunny girls, and one of his pep abilities involves getting a nosebleed to power up.

Despite his eccentricities and the humor at his expense they often bring, Rab is just as determined to save the world from the forces of evil as the rest of his companions, seeking to avenge his fallen kingdom and family while guiding his grandson to be the ultimate hero of legend.

Rab is the former king of Dundrasil, leaving the throne when King Irwin married his daughter Queen Eleanor approximately 16 years ago. His wife had passed away sometime prior to this and is not shown within the game, but it is stated that she was a beautiful woman Rab first met at a bookstore in Dundrasil's castle-town. In accordance with the royal family's tradition of sending male heirs off the Angri-La to recieve martial arts training, Rab spent six years of his youth in the mountain temple learning the ways enlightenment via the path of the fist. Though the training itself was a success, Rab would become infamous amongst the monks for reviving no less than 10,000 strikes to his backside from Grand Master Pang's Naughty stick, a "record" the exasperated woman doubts will be broken in her life time.

Sixteen years before the beginning of the game, a council of kings took place in Dundrasil to discuss the reincarnation of the fabled Luminary as Rab's newborn grandson. Catastrophe would strike on that very night, however, with the monster hordes of Mordegon siege Dundrasil to kill the infant before he can grow to challenge the evil sorcerer. Rab was unable to save the lives of his daughter and son-in-law and was barely able to escape the castle's destruction himself, but he did encounter princess Jade of Heliodor as she lay exhausted in the forest surrounding the castle. Having accompanied her father, King Carnelian, to the king's council earlier that day, she had spent time playing with queen Elanore and the newborn Luminary when the monsters attacked. Being entrusted with the infant's life by the queen, Jade carried his basket into the forest and lost if over a waterfall as she fled her pursuers. Hearing her story, the hope that his grandson still lives took hold of Rab's heart and he set out alongside the princess to travel the world in the hopes of finding him.

Rab is first encountered by the party in Octagonia as a participant in the tournament alongside Jade. Without revealing his identity to the party, he assists in the battle against monster beneath the town and admonishes Vince Vanquish for relying on such dangerous stimulants to win his battles in the tournament, but agrees to keep the matter a secret as the young martial artist only did it for the good of the town's orphanage. Once the Yellow orb is claimed by the Luminary, Rab asks the group to accompany him and Jade to the ruins of Dundrasil where he explains the situation and his connection to the man. The party holds a candle light vigil for the fallen King and Queen, with Rab tearing up as he proclaims that their son is still alive.

The quiet ceremony is interrupted by the arrival of Hendrik and his soldiers arrive to arrest the Luminary, and the group temporarily disbands before reuniting to assemble the rest of the legendary orbs and ascend the rainbow bridge to Yggdrasil. When the Luminary takes the Sword of Light from the heart of the flying tree, the party is ambushed by King Carnelian, Hendrik, and Jasper. Defeated and moments from being killed, Veronica uses her magic to scatter her friends to the four corners of Erdrea and give them a chance to strike back against Mordegon.

Months later the Luminary, having temporarily lost his divine powers in a gamble by Queen Marina to keep his location hidden from Mordegon, finds Rab training at the zenith of the Angri-La mountain chain. He returned to the temple to begin his training all over again to prepare for a counterattack against Mordegon, and is found severely emaciated and in deep meditation--with an ogler's digest at his side. Overjoyed to see his grandson once more, the duo receive a special lesson from Grand Master Pang to learn the incredible Pearly Gates and Quadraslash skills. the two master their abilities and also discover the powerful Solar Flair pep combo attack, departing Angri-La to recover their remaining companions.

Rab is a Sage, capable of using both offensive and recovery magic, including the Crack, Zam, and Whack series of spells. He also possesses characteristics of a Martial Artist, being capable of wielding claws. He can also equip two-handed heavy wands. His armor choices are mostly limited to robes, lightweight clothing, crowns, and hats.

Dragon Quest Rivals[edit]

Rab is present as a player avatar and as the subject of several cards.

Trivia[edit]

  • One line of Rab's dialogue was changed for Dragon Quest XI S. When he recommends that the party travel to Puerto Valor, he now acknowledges that the town is "off to the northwest of Gondolia." In the original version of Dragon Quest XI, his dialogue was much the same, except that he did not say where Puerto Valor was.
  • In the international fan poll for Dragon Quest XI that was released by Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu, Rab placed last in popularity among the playable party members, with a total of 152 votes.
  • Rab is the party member who levels up at the slowest rate, and he also has the second lowest agility growth rate after the eighth party member.
  • Each of the Luminary's companions represents one of the classes in Dragon Quest III. Rab represents the Sage. His ability to use claws indicates that he was a Martial Artist prior to his class change.
