The '''Prince of Cannock''' is a playable character in ''[[Dragon Quest II]]''. He is one of the 3 descendents of [[Erdrick]] who journeys to defeat [[Hargon]] after his attack on [[Moonbrooke]]. He is the second playable character added to the party after the [[Prince of Midenhall]].
==Appearance and personality==
The '''Prince of Cannock''' (サマルトリア王子 ''Prince of Sumaltria'') is a descendant of [[Erdrick]] who is a mix between both of his cousins, the [[Prince of Midenhall]] and the [[Princess of Moonbrooke]]. Though he is physically strong, he is weaker than the Prince of Midenhall, and while he can use magic, most of his spells are not as powerful as those available to the Princess of Moonbrooke. In the [[Dragon Quest II|Japanese version]], he is described as a slacker, a drinker and an overall really fun guy; however, in the [[Dragon Warrior II|American version]] the Prince of Cannock is not so much of a slacker as he is a studious young man immersed in his studies.
The prince is typically shown wearing a green frock. Not much is known about his personality other than that he set out to find his cousin, the prince of Midenhall, in order to fight Hargon.
==Role==
Upon learning of the tragedy that befell Moonbrooke, the Prince of Cannock set out on a journey, first travelling to the [[Spring of Bravery]]. Later, he met the Prince of Midenhall at the inn in [[Leftwyne]], where the two cousins joined forces and began travelling together.
The prince is the son of the king of Cannock, who is a descendent of Erdrick and [[Gwaelin]]. No further details of his past are known.

The prince sets out to meet his cousin after hearing of Hargon's attack on Moonbrooke. However, the 2 have difficulty finding one another until they meet at the inn in [[Leftwyne]]. Together they set out to defeat Hargon together. The player is unable to travel south to [[Hamlin]] until the prince of Cannock is in the party, making him an essential companion.
He is shorter then the Prince of Midenhall, but taller then the Princess of Moonbrooke. In the Japanese version of the game the prince has orange hair and wears a green tunic with Erdrick's crest on the chest and a pair of goggles on his head. In the American version of the game he is still wearing the odd goggles on his head, but his tunic has been replaced with a full suit of green armor.
The prince plays a support role in battle, as he does not have great strength and cannot equip the best weapons and armor.
== Equipment ==
''Note: This section requires expansion.''
In the remakes of [[Dragon Quest II]], the prince becomes ill after staying at the inn in [[Beran]]. The other heroes must travel and retrieve a [[Leaf of the World Tree]] in order to cure him and continue adventuring.
The Prince of Cannock can equip a wide variety of weapons and armor though not as many as the Prince of Midenhall, but when you fight [[Hargon]], he should be wearing: [[Magic Armor]], the [[Iron Spear]] or [[Falcon Sword]], and [[The Shield of Strength]].
