The '''Prince of Midenhall''' is one of the three playable characters from {{DQ2}}.  He is a descendant of [[Erdrick]] who responds to the sudden rising threat of [[Hargon]].  He inherited all of his ancestor's physical strength, but unlike his cousins the [[Prince of Cannock]] and the [[Princess of Moonbrooke]], he cannot use magic, and as such is the only ''Dragon Quest'' main hero who doesn't possess any magical ability.

==Appearance and personality==  
The name given to the hero in the Japanese [[Dragon Quest II CD Theater|CD theater]] drama and novelizations is '''Allen''' (アレン). In the HD-2D Remake he is given the default name '''Gawain'''.
The Hero wears blue for the most part, though the goggles that rest on his helmet are brown. He wears a blue tunic over form-fitting black pants, blue shoes with light blue socks, and blue gloves. Across his chest is a swordbelt with a scabbard attached to the back. He also wears a brown belt around his waist with a small brown pouch on it and a belt buckle in the shape of [[Emblem of Erdrick|Erdrick's symbol]]. His sword is typical aside from the hand cover built into the hilt, and his shield is adorned with Erdrick's symbol. His hair varies between illustrations, where it's shown to be black in color and trimmed short in older pieces and unkempt silver in later works.

His hair varies between illustrations, where it's shown to be black in color and trimmed short in older pieces and unkempt silver in later works. In many modern depictions, he is often seen wielding the [[Thunderbolt blade]].


Even though the Hero is a silent protagonist and his personality is open for the player to define, a strong sense of justice can be seen in the beginning of the game, as he sets out to stop [[Hargon]] and his evil cult without so much as a "But thou must" proposal from the King.

Although the Hero is the only nameable character, he remains equal in stature with his 2 companions in ''Dragon Quest II'', the [[Prince of Cannock]] and the [[Princess of Moonbrooke]]. All three are descendants of [[Erdrick]]. This varies from other games in the series where only the hero is of notable birth compared to his party companions.

The Prince of Midenhall is one of the three playable characters from Dragon Quest II.

He is a descendant of Erdrick who responds to the sudden rising threat of Hargon. He inherited all of his ancestor's physical strength, but unlike his cousins the Prince of Cannock and the Princess of Moonbrooke, he cannot use magic, and as such is the only Dragon Quest main hero who doesn't possess any magical ability.

The name given to the hero in the Japanese CD theater drama and novelizations is Allen (アレン). In the HD-2D Remake he is given the default name Gawain.

Appearance and Personality[edit | edit source]

The Hero wears blue for the most part, though the goggles that rest on his helmet are brown. He wears a blue tunic over black form-fitting long-sleeved shirt and pants, blue shoes with light blue socks, and blue gloves. Across his chest is a swordbelt with a scabbard attached to the back. He also wears a brown belt around his waist with a small brown pouch on it and a belt buckle in the shape of Erdrick's symbol. His sword is typical aside from the hand cover built into the hilt, and his shield is adorned with Erdrick's symbol. His hair varies between illustrations, where it's shown to be black in color and trimmed short in older pieces and unkempt silver in later works. In many modern depictions, he is often seen wielding the Thunderbolt blade.

Even though the Hero is a silent protagonist and his personality is open for the player to define, a strong sense of justice can be seen in the beginning of the game, as he sets out to stop Hargon and his evil cult without so much as a "But thou must" proposal from the King.

Although the Hero is the only nameable character, he remains equal in stature with his 2 companions in Dragon Quest II, the Prince of Cannock and the Princess of Moonbrooke. All three are descendants of Erdrick. This varies from other games in the series where only the hero is of notable birth compared to his party companions.

Appearances[edit | edit source]

The Prince of Middenhall is the first Luminary that the player controls in the game, responding to news of Hargon's assault on Moonbrooke by setting out to assemble his cousins and take the fight to the mad priest's citadel in the frozen plateau of Rendarak.
