Editing Torneko Taloon (section)

==Appearance and personality==
Torneko wears a blue and white djellaba with a short red chechia covering his head. 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.

Torneko is a family man, happily married to {{Tessie}} and raising his son {{Tipper}} while he works as an employee to another merchant. Torneko wants better things for his family, and his desire to be an excellent provider is one of the main reasons he enters into venture capitalism to open his own shop. Wanderlust runs strong in Torneko's veins, and even far-fetched rumors of treasure will light a fire in his heart. He is very grateful to his wife for being understanding and keeping an eye on their son as he sets off an adventure.

Even though much of his time and effort goes toward accruing [[gold]] coins, 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 4}}, and smuggling a [[Chimaera wing]] to [[List of characters in Dragon Quest IV#Other characters|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 the {{Hero 4}} 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 4}}, {{Meena}} and {{Maya}} at [[Pharos Beacon]]. Since he considered the {{MFamilies}}s 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 {{DQH2}}.
