History Characters / DragonQuestXIOtherCharacters

->'''Voiced by:''' Wayne Forester (English), Hiroshi Shirokuma (Japanese): Underdigger, Rasmus Hardiker (English), Creator/KatsuyukiKonishi (Japanese): Abominable Showman [Definitive version]

* MessianicArchetype: Just as the current Luminary is one for the second coming, he is the more traditional. He is chosen by the game’s GodOfGood, has a band of loyal followers by his side, keeps the SatanicArchetype from doing more damage, and [[spoiler: dies after being betrayed by one of his allies]].

* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler: When she failed in her attempt to go back in time to undo the murder of Erdwin, she essentially lost the will to live. What little remained of her soul at the Tower of Lost Time would become known as the Keeper of Time.]]

* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler: When the Seer first appears during the postgame, the party sees them in the form of Mordegon. The Seer seems rather intrigued to learn this, but quickly changes into a different form to ease their worries. This hints that the two are intrisincally connected in some way before they are revealed to be two halves of the same being.]]
* MagicStaff: Morcant carried a tall, rough-looking staff. This is the only weapon used by one of Erdwin's companions that cannot be inherited by the current heroes [[spoiler: because it is still in Mordegon's possession.]]

* SamusIsAGirl: [[spoiler: Gender-inverted. While the Seer takes many forms, their primary one is a young woman despite their true form being male.]]

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: The game presents her as being down-to-earth and kindhearted. She helps tend the wounded soldiers after [[spoiler: the defense of the Last Bastion]] and, later, becomes integral to the postgame sidequest to rebuild Cobblestone.

* DemonicPossession: [[spoiler: Spends the first half of the game (and the last sixteen years of his life) possessed by Mordegon. To make matters worse, [[AndIMustScream he reveals that he was vaguely aware of what was happening the entire time he had lost control over his body.]]]]

* CodeName: "Dave" isn't his real name. [[spoiler: According to Sylv's character book interview, when Dave joined him, he took the name from his old ship's figurehead.]]

* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Snaps Sylvando out of his brief stint of depression [[spoiler: after the World Tree falls]] in the Definitive Edition. He can also do this in battle, should Sylv or any of his friends succumb to certain status ailments.

* UndyingLoyalty: Completely faithful to Sylvando, to the point of [[spoiler: seeking him out after Yggdrasil falls and knocking him out of his HeroicBSOD.]]

* FloralThemeNaming: Gerberas are flowers in the daisy family. [[spoiler: Interestingly, Sylvando's horse's name -Margarita- means "daisy" in Spanish. In-game, Margarita is used only as a show horse (or for when he races with her in both the Sand National and Black Cup horse races). Gerbera was first and foremost, an entertainer. In a roundabout way, Sylvando keeps his mother's name and memory alive.]]

* ShrineToTheFallen: The gardens in the villa grounds serve as one to her. There are also the fields of flowers outside Puerto Valor, stretching a good portion of the way out onto the Costa Valor. [[spoiler: If you fly over Puerto Valor on Cetacea, the fields resemble a broken heart, with the path to the town cutting inbetween the flowers.]]
* SilkHidingSteel: [[spoiler: She led most of the survivors from out of Zwaardsrust and took them to Octagonia, Dundrasil and Heliodor, before crossing the inland sea all the way to Puerto Valor.]]

* FateWorseThanDeath: In the second half of the game [[spoiler: and the postgame]], his soul is being forced to repeatedly relive the night his kingdom fell so the [[EmotionEater Gloomnivore]] can feed off his despair.

* DualWielding: [[spoiler: He dual-wields swords in both his Pep Power appearance and presumably real-world combat/training.]]

* GameBreakingInjury: He sustains heavy injuries fighting off monsters offscreen, and is bedridden and unable to actively contribute by the time the party finally encounters him. [[spoiler: He recovers from them enough by the postgame to assist the party in battle, but only when they call for him.]]

* NotSoAboveItAll: During the epilogue of Act 2, he starts training his dancing with the Soldiers Of Smile as soon as he gets better. He tries to hide it when his son comes home and sees him out of embarassment, but seeing Sylvando being impressed encourages him to train even more, just so he can show his son the best show he can.
* OldMaster: His age has not stopped him from training other knights and fighting monsters. [[spoiler: You can even learn a Pep Power that summons him for the duration.]]

* DotingParent: Acted this way toward Sylvando back in the day. Servantes cared very deeply for him, [[spoiler: so much so, that according to the voice drama, "Olé! Sylvia!", he listened to his concerns about taking the title of Don of Puerto Valor. It was Servantes who let Sylvando run away and join the circus.]]

After [[spoiler: the destruction of the World Tree, she was found by Mordegon, who sensed her despair and freed her with his power. Anointed as one of his Spectral Sentinels, Mia -- now known as Gyldygga -- terrorized Sniflheim.]] For tropes associated with [[spoiler:Gyldygga]], see [[Characters/DragonQuestXIVillains here]].

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: It is implied that the necklace is at least partly responsible for amplifying Mia's greed and resentment,[[spoiler: which allowed Mordegon to easily corrupt her into becoming his general]].

** Quite possibly combined with CompositeCharacter. Not only does Mia's outfit and hairstyle resemble that of Kid, the resident thief girl of ''VideoGame/ChronoCross'', but she otherwise resembles the ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'' version of ''Schala'', [[spoiler: whom Kid is [[YouDontLookLikeYou supposed]] to be a daughter-clone of.]]
*** She can also be one to Milly from ''VideoGame/DragonQuestVI'', both being siblings who were put into rough situations and motivating their brothers (Erik and Terry) to go on a quest to free them. However, while Milly was a sex slave and already part of the Hero's party by the time of their first attempt to fight Murdaw, Mia [[spoiler: became Gyldygga, one of Mordegon's Spectral Sentinels, out of resentment for being left behind by Erik due to her magic necklace.]]

* SecretTestOfCharacter: [[spoiler: Puts Rab through one in his side story in the Definitive Edition, showing him a dream world where Dundrasil never fell.]] He passes.

A child monk who is the second in command, after Grand Master Pang. [[spoiler: Takes over leading the temple after the Grand Master sacrifices herself in act two.]]

* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler: When the Watchers are first introduced, Mordegon[[note]] Or rather Indignus, as revealed in the Definitive Edition.[[/note]] has already destroyed their floating home. A single child Watcher is all who remains to guard the Guiding Light, which the Luminary takes to forge a new Sword of Light. This is averted after the Luminary goes back in time to prevent Mordegon's rise to power.]]

* GodIsGood: The creator of the world and all the life on it. It also won't let being drained of its power stop it from helping her children. [[spoiler: When given the chance, it also won't hesitate to fight alongside its chosen Luminary.]]

* GoodAllAlong: [[spoiler: After he's defeated, the End of Time will reveal that he is really a golden Tockle called the Friend of Time, and was actually testing the party to see if they are ready to face Calasmos.]]

* {{Troll}}: [[spoiler: After being defeated, the End of Time will charge up an ultimate attack to [[TakingYouWithMe take the party down with him]], causing everyone to panic. He then reveals his true form (a golden Tockle) and says that he was only joking.]]

A priestess in Hotto. When she and her son Ryu slew the evil dragon Tatsunaga that was terrorizing the village, Ryu fell prey to the beast's curse and turned into a dragon himself. Driven to insane desperation to save him, Miko decided to [[HumanSacrifice sacrifice civilians]] in order to sate his relentless hunger for humans as she tried to find a cure, lying that it was to Appease The Volcano Gods (though her plan falls apart before she actually sacrifices anyone). [[spoiler:In the fixed timeline Ryu is saved before she reaches this point.]]

* BaitAndSwitch: It seems as if ''she'''s become the villain of the week. However, as it turns out, she's more of a WellIntentionedExtremist.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Sure, defending your son is a noble cause and all...

* AbusiveParents: After being rescued and reunited with his daughter in Hotto, he immediately gets plastered at the local bar while she sits nearby. Averted, however, as he never really hurts her and he does care for her, just he is terrible at showing it. Luckily, his daughter knows this. [[spoiler: Further averted when, in act two at night, if you visit the inn in Hotto, you find that Noah has booked the larger of the two rooms for he and Connie to stay in - and he always stays awake to watch over her. Even more averted when he goes to help out at Cobblestone in act three; he says Connie has made lots of friends, and if she's happy, he's happy to stay there, too.]]

* {{Bokukko}}: She uses the masculine pronoun "Ore" in the Japanese version.

* BrainlessBeauty: His profile describes him as being attractive but not very bright. This is something of an InformedFlaw, as while he's quite short-sighted, he's generally good at coming up with plans on the fly to bail himself out of having to do any hard work.

** Even before CharacterDevelopment sets in, Prince Faris is at least willing to admit his own inadequacies and is respectful to the party, while Prince Charmles is an egotistical EntitledBastard and treats everyone except for his father with complete disdain. Also, Prince Faris actively seeks those who can lend him aid while Prince Charmles is so lazy that his father is the one who has to get the party to help him.

* HarmlessFreezing: Her spell over Sniflheim freezes the entire population but kills no one, indeed when the spell is broken most don't even recognize anything had happened to them. She demonstrates she can use deadly freezing if she wants, as she attempts to kill Hendrik and the Luminary this way (either that or the spell not being completed causes more damaging effects).

* VillainousCrush: Inverted. She becomes a NominalHero but retains her crush on Jasper, who's far more evil than she ever was, due to her liking his looks and being grateful to him for releasing her. Not to the point of her being willing to defend him, but she does tell the Luminary in Act 2 that she hopes he won't have to kill Jasper.

* BoobsOfSteel: It doesn't seem obvious at first, but her CleavageWindow shows that she's pretty well-endowed. Not to mention that she is a powerful MagicKnight to boot.

* LightFeminineDarkFeminine: The kindhearted and demure light feminine to Krystalinda's vivacious and pragmatic dark feminine. Emphasized by the contrast between the pure white and warm orange clothing Frysabel wears compared to the dark purple and cold blue Krystalinda does.

* LightFeminineDarkFeminine: The seductive and cynical dark feminine to Frysabel's compassionate and soft-spoken light feminine. Emphasized by the contrast between the pure white and warm orange clothing Frysabel wears compared to the dark purple and cold blue Krystalinda does.

* BonusBoss: The player gets to face off against her at the end of the final Wheel of Harma challenge. The Definitive Edition includes a mandatory fight with her much earlier in the game, but still includes the option to fight her later.

* BonusBoss: Reappears in the Definitive Edition's secret Wheel of Harma trial.

* BareYourMidriff: Wears a sleeveless crop top [[ExposedToTheElements despite living in the cold Sniflheim region.]]

* BonusBoss

* BonusBoss: He's a bonus boss that can only be fought in the Japanese-only 3DS version and the Definitive Edition. While he's by far the strongest superboss in the 3DS version, he's surpassed in the Definitive Edition by the Timewyrm.

* BonusBoss

* OneHundredPercentAdorationRating: Everyone who talks about her mentions how wonderful a person she was, as well as how beautiful she was. It's not hard to see where Sylv got it from.

* OneHundredPercentAdorationRating: He's so beloved by the people of Octagonia that they don't hold the revelation that he cheated to earn his victories against him at all.

* HundredPercentAdorationRating: All her subjects in Nautica speak of how great a ruler she is.

->'''Voiced by:''' Joseph Balderrama (English), Creator/AkioOhtsuka (Japanese) [Definitive version]

* {{Expy}}: Collectively, they are modeled after the default party from ''VideoGame/DragonQuestIII'' (the Hero, the Warrior, the Wizard, and the Priest job changed to the Sage).

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Applies to a lot of his feats since he accomplished them hundreds of years before the events of the story. Some notable ones include fighting Morcant for three days straight to a draw when trained at Angri-La, completing ALL the trials of the Wheel of Harma (except for the Secret Trial that Grand Master Pang only reveals in the Definitive Edition) and winning Serenica over to the point she was willing to go to any lengths to save him, despite him being the one who fell in love with her when he first met her. His power is also implied by the fact that his equipment has the highest stats of any that the Luminary can acquire in the game. And unlike the current Luminary, Erdwin accomplished his mission in a much shorter period of time with no mistakes involved on his part, at least.

The beautiful sage who fought alongside Erdwin in the age of legends. After Erdwin got killed by a traitor, she sealed the demon god Calasmos's body and sent it to the heavens. She left the ancient hero's sword in the Tree of Life and attempted to travel back in time to save Erdwin, but perished in the process. With the help of the Tockles, she became the guardian of time. Erdwin and Serenica were lovers.

* {{Expy}}: Of the female sage from ''VideoGame/DragonQuestIII''. It is implied that she was a cleric first.

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: The game presents her as being down-to-earth and kindhearted. She helps tend the wounded soldiers after [[spoiler: the defense of the Last Bastion]] and, later, becomes integral to the postgame sidequest to rebuild the Cobblestone.

* TotemPoleTrench: They disguised themselves as a monster using an Ursa minor hide and some antlers in an attempt to scare anyone from climbing Mount Huji.
* OhMeAccentsSlipping: In-universe example: The children slip out of speaking in Haiku when they’re talking with each other, and particularly when they accidentally expose themselves. Atsuo quickly notices this and attempts to go back to speaking in Haiku, though not without some errors in the process.

Known as "Noah the Know-It-All" among scoundrels, cads and thieves. After peeping in the women's section of the Hotto hot springs, he is captured by monsters stealing the magic of maidens; after the party saves him, he repays them with knowledge of the Rainbough, a branch that will help them reach Yggdrasil.

* HeKnowsTooMuch: He spots Jasper making a deal with a monster and is cursed to lose his voice after getting caught.

* BrattyHalfPint: One of the merman reveals that Marina was very troublesome as a child and was surprised to see her mature so gracefully.

*** She can also be one to Milly from ''VideoGame/DragonQuestVI'', both being siblings who were put into rough situations and motivating their brothers (Erik and Terry) to go on a quest to free them. However, while Milly was a sex slave and already part of the Hero's party by the time of their first attempt to fight Murdaw, Mia [[spoiler: became one of Mordegon's Spectral Sentinels Gyldygga out of resentment for being left behind by Erik due to her magic necklace.]]

* TheDreaded: According to NPC dialogue, when Heliodor blockaded Angri-La for its continued support of the "Darkspawn" in act 1, they refrained from attacking the monastery outright to avoid Pang's ire.

* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler: When the Watchers are first introduced, Mordegon has already destroyed their floating home. A single child Watcher is all who remains to guard the Guiding Light, which the Luminary takes to forge a new Sword of Light. This is averted after the Luminary goes back in time to prevent Mordegon's rise to power.]]

A miniscule race of beings that watch over the flow of time in Erdea and correct any mistakes that may disrupt it. They reside in the village of Tickington.

After [[spoiler: the destruction of the World Tree, she was found by Mordegon, who sensed her despair and freed her with his power. Anointed as one of his Spectral Sentinels, Mia -- now known as Gyldygga -- terrorized Sniflheim.]] For tropes associated with Gyldygga, see [[Characters/DragonQuestXIVillains here]].

* NotMeThisTime: She's mistakenly blamed by Sniflheim's people for [[spoiler:spreading the golden disease after Ygdrissil's fall,]] even though she was researching a cure for it. To her credit, she understands why someone with her reputation would be the first suspect and willingly imprisons herself until the epidemic is solved. She also tells the heroes everything she knows when they arrive to investigate.

* RippleEffectProofMemory: [[spoiler:In act 3, she recalls the events of the previous timeline, but dismisses them as a dream.]]

* ThatManIsDead: She doesn't like it when Erik calls her "Mia" after finding her [[spoiler:in the gold palace. She's Gyldygga now.]]

After [[spoiler: the destruction of the World Tree, she was found by Mordegon, who sensed her despair and freed her with his power. Anointed as one of his Spectral Sentinels, Mia -- now known as Gyldygga -- terrorized Sniflheim.]]

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: It is implied that the necklace is at least partly responsible for amplifying Mia's greed and resentment[[spoiler:, which allowed Mordegon to easily corrupt her into becoming his general]].

* ADayInTheLimelight: She and her brother get one in ''Dragon Quest Treasures'', which details an adventure they went on prior to meeting the Luminary.

* SuperpoweredEvilSide: [[spoiler:When confronted she transforms into a giant dragon.]]

* InnocentBlueEyes: One the one moment we see them, Vince has blue eyes, symbolizing the naïveté and good-will that Arachtagon exploited.

* NameFaceName: Was presumably named the "Doorknob-nosed Knobbler" because of his bulbous nose.

* MythologyGag: A subtle one that requires knowledge of the [[NoExportForYou Japan-exclusive]] [=PlayStation=] remake of ''VideGame/DragonQuestIV'''s [[GuideDangIt notoriously difficult Immigrant Town side quest]]. If both Quick Draw [=McGore=] (who Golden Boy is an homage to) and Prima Donna are recruited to live in the town, the former falls madly in love with the latter, oblivious to the fact that [[DudeLooksLikeALady she is actually a male crossdresser]], reminiscent of Golden Boy falling for Sylvando. More evident in the Japanese script, where Golden Boy refers to Sylvando as though he were a woman.

* [[NiceGuy Nice Gal]]: Her cheerfully outgoing ahd supportive nature are her main two defining qualities, even in terms of gameplay. She supports the Luminary with healing herbs while cheering him on from the sidelines.

* SoleSurvivor: When the Watchers are first introduced, Mordegon has already destroyed their floating home, leaving a single child Watcher with the Guiding Light. [[spoiler: Averted after the Luminary goes back in time to prevent Mordegon's rise to power.]]

[[folder:Keepers]]
!!Keepers

* DisneyDeath: After Eegoltap drains much of his energy to walk over and give the Luminary a message, he falls over and the Keepers panic, but then he's heard snoring.

* HeavySleeper: Eegoltap is almost always asleep, to the point where any moment he wakes up is considered a tremendous event to the other Keepers.
* SoleSurvivor: When the Keepers are first introduced, Mordegon has already destroyed their floating home, leaving a single child Keeper with the Guiding Light. [[spoiler: Averted after the Luminary goes back in time to prevent Mordegon's rise to power.]]

[[folder:Tockles]]
!!Tockles

A miniscule race of beings that watch over the flow of time in Erdea and correct any mistakes that may disrupt it. They reside in the village of Tickington.

* InvisibleToNormals: Only the Luminary can see them outside of their village. The rest of the party can see them when they're taken to Tickington, though.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Who would've imagined the keepers of time would look so adorable?
* VerbalTic: They spend their time tocking about all sorts of clock puns, ticktock.

[[folder:Cetacea]]
!!Cetacea
->'''Voiced by:''' Eve Karpf (English)

The legendary flying whale of Erdea. She ferries the chosen heroes of Yggdrasil and their allies to wherever they need to go.

%%* GiantFlyer
* GlobalAirship: Can carry the heroes across the skies to visit various locations high-up, summoned by the use of the Calamus Flute.
* GoldenSuperMode: [[spoiler:She gets an impressive-looking set of golden armor in Act Three that allows her to penetrate the defenses of Calasmos's barrier just before the final battle.]]
* FlyingSeafoodSpecial: She's an utterly massive whale who gracefully flies across Erdea as though it were an ocean.
* {{Leitmotif}}: ''Flying Whale Cetacea''. [[spoiler:In Act Three following Cetacea's upgrade, her main theme changes to ''Heavenly Flight''.]]

[[folder:Yggdrasil]]
!!Yggdrasil
->'''Voiced by:''' Eve Karpf (English), Creator/KeikoHan (Japanese) [Definitive version]

The Tree of Life that governs the flows of souls. All life in this world is said to have originated from it.

* BigGood: It allows a hero to be born whenever the forces of evil rise to threaten all life. Also, as [[spoiler:the golden dragon Yggdragon]], it fought against the demon god Calasmos's reign of terror.
* DragonsAreDivine: [[spoiler:The end of the game reveals that Yggdrasil was created by the spirit of Yggdragon, who fought with Calasmos eons ago and fell to the earths in Erdea.]]
* GodIsGood: The creator of the world and all the life on it. It also won't let being drained of its power stop it from helping her children. [[spoiler: When given the chance, it also won't hesitate to fight alongside its chosen Luminary.]]
* FisherKing: After the demon lord Mordegon destroys the tree, the world gets shrouded by darkness and starts to die. Justified as it is the source of all life.
* TheLifestream: Whenever a life dies, its soul goes back to the tree in order to be reborn.
* WorldTree: Fits all the stereotypes associated with it.

[[folder:The Past Masters]]
!!The Past Masters

Ten monsters empowered with the strength of the villains of the previous ten Dragon Quest games, who attempted to change history by defiling the books in Tickington.

* BonusBoss
* LegacyBossBattle: They're based on the final bosses of the previous Dragon Quest games. Subverted with [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers Nelgelas]], since Nelgel himself isn't the only main villain of ''VideoGame/DragonQuestX''.
* WolfpackBoss: They attack the party in groups of two or three.
* VersionExclusiveContent: Can only be fought in the 3DS version and the Definitive Edition.

! Superbosses

* StuffBlowingUp: Knows Kaboomle.
* {{Troll}}: [[spoiler: After being defeated, the End of Time will charge up an ultimate attack to [[TakingYouWithMe take the party down with him]], causing everyone to panic. He then reveals his true form (a golden Tockle) and says that he was only joking.]]

[[folder:The Timewyrm]]
!!The Timewyrm

A superboss added in the Definitive version of the game. An extremely powerful skeletal dragon from a different timeline.

* BonusBoss
* DualBoss: Just like Mordegon's Mordragon form, the head and tail are separate bosses with their own HP pools and abilities.
* GoldColoredSuperiority: A golden PaletteSwap of Mordegon's Mordragon form, and the most powerful boss in the game.
