Editing Ragnar McRyan (section)

==Appearances==
==={{DQ4}}===
{{spoiler|start}}
Ragnar's chapter begins with him receiving a summons from the King of [[Burland]]. As the children of [[Strathbaile]] have vanished, all soldiers of the kingdom have been tasked with investigating the incident and rescuing the children as soon as possible.

After speaking with the people of Burland and venturing through the underground passage to Straithbaile in the north, Ragnar encounters the amnesiac [[Angus and Aigneas|Angus]] in the town jail. Reduced to the mental ability of a child due to a tremendous shock, Ragnar returns to Burland and brings Angus' wife [[Angus and Aigneas|Aigneas]] to return the man to his senses. As Angus had been welcomed by the children of [[Straithbaile]] as one of their own when he had toys in his attic, he tells Ragnar of their playing place near the [[Auld Well]].

Entering the well and exploring it, Ragnar hears a mysterious voice that leads him to the [[Talaria]] boots that will allow him to reach the top of the [[Loch Tur]] and rescue the children. Ragnar is also able to join forces with [[Healie]] the [[Healslime]] in this cave, who seeks to become [[human]] one day and wants to help the soldier on his mission. With healie in tow and the [[Talaria]] flinging them both to the Tor, Ragnar makes it to the heart of the fortress and confronts the [[Psaro's Pawn|demon responsible]], who unveils the Underworld's master plan of killing the [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|Chosen]] before he can ever rise against their Lord. Ragnar kills him and rescues the children, winning the favor of the entire country. Despite the accolades he receives, knowing the Underworld's plan Ragnar reveals he cannot simply stand by as darkness gathers, and sets out on a quest with Healie to find and protect the {{Hero 4}}. 

Ragnar makes cameo appearances during other chapters before the unifying of the [[Chosen Ones]] in 5. In {{DQ4 Chapter 2}} he is in the [[Zamoksva/Endor Teleportal|Endor Shrine]] at night.  In {{DQ4 Chapter 3}} he can be found in the [[casino]] at [[Endor]] in which he is looking for the {{Hero 4}}. By {{DQ4 Chapter 5}}, his search took him to [[Mintos]] where a couple of residents would relate his visit to the {{Hero 4}}.

Sometime after, Ragnar headed to the [[House of Prophecy]] to learn more about the {{Hero 4}}, but diverted from that search when learning about the corrupt King of [[Palais de Léon]] from a prisoner at [[Havre Léon]].

He arrived at the castle with the now-human [[Healie]] just before the other [[Chosen Ones]], and he is seen dispatching the hapless guards trying to prevent him from entering the Maquis' chambers. After the Marquis is defeated by the {{Hero 4}}'s {{Party 4}}, Ragnar joins forces with them.

After the downfall of [[Psaro the Manslayer]], Ragnar reported the victory to the King of [[Burland]] and later visited the {{Hero 4}} in the [[Hidden Valley]] with the rest of the {{Party 4}}.

====Base stats====

When applied to the {{DQ3}} class system, Ragnar is a [[warrior]]. He has immense strength and resilience, but low agility. Even his character design is a variation of the warrior, which was traditionally in pink armour. He can don nearly all available armour and use most weapons, and should be on the frontlines of battle at all times--his endurance growth is so great it is advisable to set him at the head of the {{Party 4}} until the {{Hero 4}} obtains the [[Zenithian Equipment]].
