'''Prince Charmles''' is a character in {{DQ8}}.

==Story==
Prince Charmles is the only son to King [[Clavius]] (current King of [[Argonia]]), and due to a promise between the [[Kingdom of Trodain]] & [[Kingdom of Argonia|Argonia]], is in an arranged marriage with Princess [[Medea]].  Though he tends to remind people that his name is pronounced "Charm-Lay", most pronounce it as "Charm-Less".

He is deathly afraid of lizards which is quite ironic considering his home is [[Kingdom of Argonia|Argonia]] named after the [[Argon lizard]] which needs to be hunted to prove rightfulness to the throne. The {{Party 8}} first met him in an incident at Castle [[Argonia]] when the prince refuses to leave his room. He is flushed out by {{Munchie}} climbing into a wall and pushing a lizard through a crack in the ceiling. The lizard then falls on the princes head and he starts to scream like a child.

Charmles after some persuasion (in regards to how completing this task will gain him credibility with the kingdom) agreed to take part in the initiation and travel to the [[Royal Hunting Ground]] with the party escorting him.  {{Hero 8}} and company help in defeating three lizards (though Charmles flees during each fight), only for the prince to be unpleased with the [[Argon heart]]s obtained from each one.  He mentions wanting to pursue a bigger lizard in hopes of getting a larger heart, and with that, both him and the {{Party 8}} camp for the night.

The next morning, Charmles tried to ride the cursed [[Medea]] only to be kicked off.  He was about to discipline her, only for [[Trode]] to insist the be the recipient of the beating.  Before anything else can happen, [[Yangus]] arrived to mention sighting of a [[Great Argon Lizard]].

The {{Party 8}} engaged in battle with it, with Charmles taking off again, though the [[Argon heart#Great big Argon heart|Great big Argon heart]] is won.  Later, however, The Prince purchased an even larger Argon Heart from a merchant at the bazaar in [[Argonia]] and presented it as "proof" of his victory (unaware that the {{Party 8}} told [[Clavius]] the truth shortly after).

===Ending 1===
{{spoiler|start}}
Six months after the defeat of [[Rhapthorne]], the wedding between Charmles and [[Medea]] is set to occur.  Upon her arrival, The Prince informed the {{Party 8}} that they aren't allowed to attend as they are commoners.  Later on, The {{Hero 8}} (with help from his party) interfere with the wedding as they know that [[Medea]] dreaded the marriage herself and succeed in getting her away.

Charmles demands that the soldiers go after them, only to be reprimanded by [[Clavius]] for not going after his own bride himself.  His father took that time to revealed that he knew about the ill-obtained [[Argon heart]].

===Ending 2===
{{spoiler|start}}
Due to obtaining the [[Argon ring]], The {{Hero 8}} proved that he is a descendant of the former Prince [[Eltrio]] & nephew of [[Clavius]] (making both him and Charmles cousins).  As such, he was permitted into marrying [[Medea]] instead of Charmles.
