"Hero" is a collective title given to the protagonists of the ''Dragon Quest'' series, as their name (and in some cases, gender) is chosen by the player. The Hero is typically the most well-rounded character accessible to the player, skilled with both swordplay and magic. They typically have a wide range of equipment available to them, including the most powerful weapons and armor. As a result, the Hero is generally the character that the player will use the most throughout their quest. Additionally, very few of the Heroes have official names. | "Hero" is a collective title given to the protagonists of the ''Dragon Quest'' series, as their name (and in some cases, gender) is chosen by the player.

However, he conflicts with the Kingdom of Helidor, as its king instead apparently believes he is the Darkspawn, an entity doomed to spread darkness across the world. In spite of many accusing him of being the Darkspawn, the Luminary forms many alliances during his quest, being joined by Erik, [[Veronica]], Serena, Sylvando, Rab, Jade, and Hendrik. | ||
It is later revealed that the King of Heliodor was being controlled by Mordegon, a dark incarnation of the ancient wizard Morcant, a twist that is revealed when the party reaches [[Yggdrasil]].

The Luminary sets off on another quest to find his allies and to defeat the fiends responsible for the chaos post-cataclysm, in the process regaining his power to at last defeat Mordegon and a returning Calasmos. | |||
