Editing Hero (Dragon Quest XI) (section)

==Trivia==
*The Luminary is the first protagonist to not be referred to as Yuusha (勇者) in promotional material nor the game itself. Instead, the title of Shujinkō (主人公) is used, which means protagonist in Japanese.
*The Luminary has some similarities with some of the heroes from previous installments:
**He comes from a lineage of previous heroes, much like the original {{Hero 1}} and the {{Prince of Midenhall}}.
** He sets out on his journey on his 16th birthday, similar to [[Erdrick]]. As the story advances, he is able to wield the [[Erdrick's sword|Sword of Light]], also known as Erdrick's sword in other games.
**He was born with the Mark of Light, a mark on his left hand with mysterious powers which glows in times of danger, much like [[Dai]] of {{DQDai}} (initially appears on his forehead before moving to his hand) and the {{Hero 7}} of {{Dragon Quest VII}}.
** His inability to advance past the second tier of explosive spells is shared by Erdrick, [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|Solo]] and [[Dai]], who are also only able to learn up to [[Boom]].
**His family connections make him similar to both Erdrick and [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|Eight]], as well. The Luminary finds out that his father, Irwin, was a great warrior himself much like [[Ortega]]. He is also secretly a prince from the kingdom of [[Dundrasil]] as revealed by [[Rab]], his maternal grandfather, much like Eight finding out about his royal lineage from his grandfather, [[Chen Mui]].
**His "-splitter" series of moves are animated with the signature motion of [[Dai]]'s [[Avan Strash]], and include three techniques ([[Earthsplitter]], [[Seasplitter]] and [[Skysplitter]]) whose Japanese names are drawn from the basic moves of the [[Avan]] school. He and his party mage [[Veronica]] can also combine their powers to cast [[Frizz Cracker]], a spell which originated as the signature move of Dai's party mage [[Popp]].
*In the international version of the game, there is a special costume that allows him to dress up like the {{Hero 8}} from {{VIII}}. The outfit was added for the ''S'': {{Definitive Edition}} version of the game in all regions.  
*He is the first Hero in the main series to have a voice actor in the English version of the games. English actor Rasmus Hardiker provides his vocal grunts in various scenes and in battle.
*In the international [https://www.famitsu.com/news/202001/11190471.html fan poll] for {{Dragon Quest XI}} released by Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu, the Luminary was voted the third most popular male character in the game and the fifth most popular character overall, with a total of 289 votes.
*The Luminary has the same hairstyle as Android 17 of [[Akira Toriyama]]'s ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' series, as well as a similar physique.
*The Luminary and his companions each represent one of the classes in {{Dragon Quest III}}. The Luminary represents the {{Hero 3}}.
