List of minor characters in Dragon Quest IX
The following is a list of minor characters in Dragon Quest IX. For a full list of characters, see List of characters in Dragon Quest IX.
Edwinn
Edwinn is the father of Erinn, and the recipient of an Inny for being an Inncredible Inntertainer. According to Patty, the reason why there are no other inns in Stornway is because he was so great at running an inn, the Quester's Rest drove out all the competition. He gave up all of this, however, to bring his daughter to Angel Falls to drink from the magical waters there.
Both he and his daughter share the suffix -inn, as that is what both of them are proficient at running.
Erinn
Erinn (JP リッカ [Rikka]) runs the Quester's Rest inn in Stornway, but she originally ran the inn in Angel Falls. She is convinced to leave for Stornway after Patty shows her her father's Inny. She was quite a sickly girl when she was younger, so Edwinn, her father, brought her to Angel Falls so she could drink from the healing waters there. She is part of the first battle the Hero takes part in after she as well as her grandfather are attacked by monsters.
Both she and her father share the suffix -inn, as that is what both of them are proficient at running.
After Quest 157 "Inn For A Penny, Inn For An Inny", she becomes avaliable as a party member
Ivor
Ivor lives in Angel Falls and is the son of the mayor there. He takes over the inn there after Erinn leaves to take over her father's inn in Stornway. According to the traveling merchant staying at the inn there, as well as Erinn's grandfather, the inn has suffered quite a decline in quality after Ivor took over.
However, upon completion of the game, returning to the Angel Falls inn reveals that Erinn's grandfather has managed to shape Ivor into a hard worker. If you speak to the ministrel standing inside the inn, he remarks that the inn is vastly different from the filthy place he had previously stayed at.
Jack of Alltrades
Abbot Jack is the highest ranking clergyman at Alltrades Abbey and the only person in the Protectorate able to switch the vocations of people. He is a fruit enthusiatist, and this causes him to be given and eventually devour one of the Fyggs. He goes to the Tower of Trades to accumulate even more power, but is corrupted by the overflow of power and transforms into the Master of Nu'un.
His name, as well as the name of his demonic alter ego, is a pun on the phrase 'Jack of all trades, master of none'.
Jona Jones
Jona is the daughter of the man who became Lleviathan, and is able to call upon her father to launch a large amount a fish onto the shores of Porth Llaffan.
Sellma
Sellma (JP ロクアーヌ [Roxane]) resides at Quester's Rest, and is a member of SPIT, the Synndicate of Pubs, Inns, and Taverns. She grants the player access to the DQVC WiFi shop.
Her name is a pun on "sell" as she is a shopkeeper.
After Quest 139 "Has Sellma Sold Out?", she becomes avaliable as a party member.
Patty
Patty is the party planner in Dragon Quest IX. She allows the player to add/remove/create characters to be added to the party. She is essentially the same as Ruida in Dragon Quest III.
After Quest 125 "Perk Up, Patty!", she becomes avaliable as a party member.
Pavo
Pavo is a Celestrian who resides at Quester's Rest. She allows the player to utilize the local multiplayer features.
After Quest 163 "When A Star Wishes Upon You", she becomes avaliable as a party member.
Princess Mona
Princess Mona is the former heir to the throne of Brigadoom, deceased lover of the Right Knight (now known as the Wight Knight) as well as the ancestor of Princess Simona. After the transformation of the Wight Knight, she left for Stornway to marry the current crown prince at the time.
Princess Simona
Princess Simona is the heir to the throne of Stornway and the descendent of Princess Mona. She correctly believes that the Right Knight is not attempting to take the throne, but instead looking for his lost lover. After the Hero defeats Morag, she, accompanied by two royal guardsmen, arrives at Brigadoom and is compelled by her ancestor, Mona to dance with the Knight, which causes his spirit to pass onto the afterlife.
Zenus
Zenus is the Almighty One, the ultimate ruler of the in-game universe of Dragon Quest IX, father of Celestria, and the dweller of Realm of the Almighty.
Trivia
- The name Zenus is a play on the name of the king of gods in Greek Mythology, Zeus.
- According to the grotto boss Fowleye, the bosses of the grottos (except for Tyrannasaurus Wrecks and Greygnarl) are parts of Zenus, who was fragmented into ten beings when Corvus attacked the Realm of the Almighty. Despite the apparent unreliability of the source, there are several hints within the bestiary (and the pre-fight chatter from the bosses) which imply that Fowleye's claims are true.
