The '''Hero''' is the main character of ''[[Dragon Quest V]]''. Like all protagonists in the [[Dragon Quest (series)|''Dragon Quest'' series]], the player provides him with a name of his or her choosing.


It is worth noting that the naming of the Hero has some bearing in-game, as the start will have his [[Pankraz|father]] recommending the name Madason, but will quickly agree with what the mother says which is also the name chosen by the player. Interestingly, if the player chooses the name Madason then the father will recommend [[Erdrick]] instead.
Later on in the game you meet [[Bianca]] again in a mountain village while looking for two rings for Ludman's daughter, Flora's, marraige so you can get the [[Zenithian Shield]]. She accompanies you back to the town of [[Salabona]] where Ludman asks that you choose to marry either [[Flora]] or [[Bianca]]. Whoever you choose will marry you and travel together with you. When you reach your kingdom of [[Granvania]] you will discover that your wife is pregnant and she will stay in the castle to rest. After returning from the cave of trials you find out that your wife is giving birth and soon after she has a baby boy and girl. After a night of celebrating yoru wife is kidnapped in the middle of the night by a monster. While trying to rescue her you learn that she has the blood of the legendary hero in her and you are defeated and turned to stone for several years until your kids come and break the spell on you. When you arrive at the great temple later in the game you discover that your wife who has also been turned to stone is there and is finally rescued from the clutches of evil. With the family reunited its up to you to defeat the evil of the world.

==Appearance and Personality==
The Hero of Dragon Quest V is regularly depicted in a purple turban and shroud with a white tunic underneath, an oaken staff held in his right arm.
 
==Story==
Unlike a majority of ''Dragon Quest'' games, which focus on the chosen one destined to strike down evil, ''Dragon Quest V'' tells the story of the individual who guides and aids this chosen one, making for a unique experience. The player also has the choice of having the Hero marry (and later have children with) either [[Bianca]] or [[Nera]], or, in the [[DS]] remake, [[Deborah]]. Because of this setup, the game follows the Hero over a period of 20 years, another unique element.
 
==Equipment and Stats==
He can equip certain swords, boomerangs, whips, staffs, flails, and even the metal king series of equipment. His HP growth is very high, likely to balance out his low defense stat, with all other attributes varying in growth throughout the game.
 
==Abilities==
The hero is a very versatile fighter.  He also is very good in magic, although, as is the case with most heroes, his spells mainly revolve around healing and support. He can learn Heal, Squelch, Woosh, Healmore, Peep, Evac, Swoosh, Drain magic, Fullheal, Kaswoosh, and Hocus-Pocus.
