|Title=Lord High Priest, High Priest, Commander, Abbot, Captain
|Class=Knight
|Race=Human
|Age=29
|}}

Marcello is the half-brother of [[Angelo]] and an antagonist in [[Dragon Quest VIII]]. He hated his brother because Angelo reminded him of his father. Marcello hated his father because his father had thrown him and his mother out of his house. Marcello's father then married Angelo's mother. Marcello's mother died. Marcello, with nothing left, joined the Templars. The positions he has acquired include Captain of the Templar Knights, the Abbot, the Commander of the Lord High Priest's Guard, the High Priest, and the Lord High Priest. He gained the position of Abbot because the original Abbot was murdered by Dhoulmagus. He became High Priest after he accused the original High Priest of murdering the Lord High Priest. Marcello also accused the Hero, his friends, and Rhapthorne of helping the High Priest with the scheme. Marcello planned to use the power of Rhapthorne and the position of the Lord High Priest to make a new world era. However, he was stopped by the Hero and his friends.

Marcello is the only character in the game to successfully resist possession by Rhapthorne, apparently being able to control Rhapthorne's power instead of being consumed by it by sheer force of will.

'''Lucia''' is a temporary playable character in ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''. When the party finds her, she has somehow fallen out of the sky and landed in the branches of the World Tree. They help her come to and she points out the [[Zenithia Sword]], then helps them to reach [[Zenithia]] itself. After leaving the party, she offers up [[Doran]], her pet [[dragon]], to travel with the party in her place. After she leaves the party, dialogue from a Zenithian NPC seems to imply that Lucia is the [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|Hero]]'s mother.

75.76.213.106:

'''Celia''' is a minor character in ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''. She is the [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|Hero]]'s childhood friend, having grown up with them in their hidden village. It's uncertain what she is exactly; she appears to be some kind of [[elf]], but has the power to shapeshift, an ability that no other elves exhibit.

Like everyone else in the village, Celia is fully committed to hiding and protecting the Hero from Hell until he or she is ready to gain the power to fight back. When the agents of [[Saro]] raze the town, the Hero's father hides him in the storehouse, following him in. As the [[demon]]s draw near, Celia states that she can't allow the Hero to die, and, taking on his form, rushes the attackers, sacrificing her life for him.

Celia's dialogue just prior to the attack is mildly suggestive of romantic feelings towards the Hero, as she states she wishes she could simply stay with him forever. However, the dialogue is the same if the Hero is female.

'''Gigademon''' is a boss monster in ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''. He appears as a a large lizard-like [[demon]] holding a huge club. He is one of the four demons found in the endgame maintaining the barrier around [[Saro]] and [[Death Palace]]. He may the most devious of the four (with the possible exception of [[Radimvice]]), and tells the [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|Hero]] to "look behind you" for a treasure, allowing him to get a surprise attack. Gigademon casts [[Defense]] to lower the party's defense, and issues high-power attacks with his club, which has a high chance for a [[Critical Hit]].

|Image=[[Image:Brey.gif]]
|Sprite=
|Japanese name=ブレイ
|Roumaji=Burei
|Title=Retainer
|Class=Wizard
|Race=Human
|Age=
|}}

'''Brey''' is a character in ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''. He is a retainer to [[Alena|Princess Alena]], and follows her when she sets out on her journey to try and ensure her safety.

==Appearance and Personality==

Brey is extremely old and wizened, hinting to his long history of the study of magic. He carries a staff everywhere, topped with a jewel that he presumably uses in some way for spellcasting, though it may be a mundane walking stick.

He is very loyal to Princess Alena, as evidenced by how he immediately rushes after her when she escapes.

==Story==

Chapter 2 begins with Alena begging her father, the King of Saintohaim, to let her explore the world, since strong fighters are needed more and more in their troubled times, with the Underworld creeping out of dormancy. However, he refuses, saying that with monsters showing increasing aggression, it's simply too dangerous to let her leave the safety of the castle. Alena goes back to her room but, within a few minutes, has been overcome with frustration and escapes the castle.

Cristo and Brey, her retainers, give chase; they're resigned to not being able to make her stay put, but if she's going to leave, they can't allow her to travel alone. The three set out and soon come to a small village being terrorized by a local monster continually demanding young girls as a sacrifice. Alena immediately heads to the local church to offer herself as the next sacrifice, but she has no intention of dying; as soon as the demon shows its face, she, Cristo and Brey spring into action and take it out, saving the village.

After journeying straight to the far ends of Saintohaim, the nomadic [[Desert Bazaar]], she gets a summons from her father, who, upon receiving her, admits that he was mistaken in his overprotectiveness, and opens the Travel Gate to a nearby country. Here, Alena finds the local princess bemoaning her fate, because her father has promised her hand to the winner of the Endor Tournament, an annual fighting competition, and her father seriously regretting this promise. Though she hears rumblings of an extremely dangerous entrant named Saro, Alena enters and gets to the finals, only to find that her opponent, who would have been Saro, has disappeared. By winning the tournament, Alena absolve the Princess of her duty.

However, even as she is celebrating her victory a Santohaim soldier rushes in and cries that she must return to the castle at once, then dies at the scene. The party returns to the Castle but finds it completely devoid of life. They set out to investigate and the chapter ends abruptly.

Alena and her companions are not seen again until Chapter 5, when Cristo has fallen under a dangerous fever. Alena and a band of three mercenaries set out to the weed's reported location to try and recover some to cure Cristo, but fails. However, the [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|Hero of Dragon Quest IV]] succeeds, and upon learning of their destiny the three immediately join the party for the remainder of the game. Some time later, they return to Santohaim, finding the cause of its troubles to be the demon [[Balzack|Baalzack]], whom they kill in retribution and for the greater good.

==In Battle==

In the ''[[Dragon Quest III]]'' class system, Brey is a [[wizard]]. He has high MP and Intelligence, but low physical attributes. Brey is one of the more popular characters in the game due to the powerful positive [[status effect]]s he can infer on the party. However, the weapons and armour he can equip are quite limited.

==Names==

In the DS remake of the game, Brey is known as Borya and is given a Russian accent in compliance with the new Russian theme given to [[Santohaim]], renamed Zamoksva.

'''Alena''' is a character in [[Dragon Quest IV]]. She is the Princess of [[Santohaim]] (Santeem on the NES), but dreams of becoming the strongest fighter alive. Against the will of her father, she embarks on a journey to prove her strength, accompanied by [[Cristo]] and [[Brey]].

==Appearance and Personality==

With her cape and pointed hat, Alena somewhat resembles the female [[wizard]] from ''[[Dragon Quest III]]''.

==Story==

Chapter 2 begins with Alena begging her father, the King of Saintohaim, to let her explore the world, since strong fighters are needed more and more in their troubled times, with the Underworld creeping out of dormancy.

==In Battle==

In the ''Dragon Quest III'' class system, Alena is a [[fighter]]. She has high attack, hitpoints, and speed. She can wear most armor up to chain mail, but can wield only clubs, whips and her special weapon, claws.

==Name==

Alena's name has been fairly consistent across localizations, except that it is spelled Alina in the French DS version to ensure correct pronunciation. In Japan it is usually romanized Arena.

==Non-''Dragon Quest'' Appearances==

===''Dragon Quest & Final Fantasy in Itadaki Street Special''===

Along with [[Ryan]], [[Cristo]], and [[Taloon]], Alena appears as a playable character in ''Itadaki Street Special''.
