While players may hear subtle mentions of the pirate throughout their quest, Captain Crow does not become involved with the story until the player learns that he tried to reach [[Empycchu]] by finding a magic sea-chart that could show the way inside the unapproachable land. He had grown too old for sea travel by the time he found the chart, however, and soon perished, becoming a ghost in order to protect the sea-chart from the unworthy.

===''[[Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker]]''===
Captain Crow is one of the monsters players can obtain in the game and is one of the only rank S monsters the player can obtain through battle other than the trap box.

He will appear between two islands at night once the player gains access to all the main islands in the game. The islands in question will be indicated within the Scout's Den in every Scoutpost where the Piracy Problems section of the noticeboard will say which route to avoid. Traveling between the given islands during nighttime may result in an encounter with Captain Crow and his crew, though several passes might be necesary until his galleon shows up.

The first three encounters with Captain Crow will have the player fighting a team of monsters that vary slightly from one fight to the next; the fourth fight will see the player against [[Gracos]], king of the seas, now in Captain Crow's employ. After this fight the noticeboards will have a message specifically from Captain Crow, telling the player where to head so they can fight him in person.

Upon his defeat, he forces himself into the player's team, his pirate ship presumably sinking to the bottom of the ocean. If the player releases him or uses him in synthesis they will be able to challenge him again, only foregoing the initial four battles. This is essentially necessary, seeing as how two monsters in the game require Captain Crow in order to synthesize.

Despite being decidedly human in appearance, Captain Crow is still considered one among the monsters in the library. He is a member of the undead family, though he lacks his ghostly aura from ''Dragon Quest VIII''.

Marcello is the half-brother of [[Angelo]] and a major antagonist in [[Dragon Quest VIII]].

==Story==
===Past===
Marcello was the son of a wealthy, but cruel, man and one of his maids. His father found that his wife would not bear a child and so had Marcello with his maid. While Marcello was still a boy, his father did manage to have a son with his wife, naming him Angelo. Marcello and his mother were thrown out of the house with nowhere to go and nothing to their names.

Not much later his mother died leaving him alone. Fortunately for Marcello, a leader of a group of monks at [[Maella Abbey]], [[Abbot Francisco]], took him in and offered for him to be a Templar Knight, his own guard. Marcello studied and trained hard for years at the Abbey and became the top young student. He later learned that his father and his household had died of a plague, all except Angelo. A few days later as Marcello was walking through the Abbey, he met a small boy who had just arrived. He talked kindly to the boy until he learned the boy's name. Angelo. Marcello, angered that the boy who had caused him to be thrown out of his home had been welcomed into the Abbey, walked away angrily as the Abbot appeared.

Marcello only grew to hate Angelo more as his half-brother took no care in his studies as he grew and only began to become a gambler and ladies' man, sneaking to the nearby town of [[Simpleton]] whenever he pleased. His hatred for Angelo only increased his bitterness and several sinister ambitions from deep down within him. Despite this, Marcello still became the Captain of the Templars and was still under the watchful eye of Abbot Francisco.

===The Jester, the Travellers, and the Monster===
Marcello spent a few years as the Templar Captain watching Angelo and being under the watch of Abbot Francisco. The abbey is soon visited by a jester, [[Dhoulmagus]] with an eerie aura. The jester did stay for long, leaving before night had even come. After this visit, Marcello tightened the guard so strangers would have limited access to the Abbey. A few days later, a group of travellers came to the Abbey. An ex-bandit named [[Yangus]], a aristocrat girl named [[Jessica]], and a [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|Hero]]. Two Templars guarding the door that led to to the sleeping quarters threaten them to leave when Marcello intervenes from a large window just above them. He reprimanded the guards for being rude and sullying the reputation of the Templars.

The guards kneel and apologize to Marcello. Marcello, in turn, apologizes for his guards behavior saying they have had a problem with strangers as of late, but also saying that that was none of their matters. He asked them to leave and warned them that his men were ill at ease and might not be able to stop them again. The party then left and headed to Simpleton, meeting Angelo while they were there.

When Angelo returns from Simpleton, having gotten into a bar fight for cheating at poker, Marcello took him down to the Torture Room to lecture him. Marcello asked him how much more shame he intended to bring to the Abbey and saying he was like a curse, and that if he hadn't been born it would have spared everyone a lot of misery. After he was done insulting him, Marcello sentenced him to a term of penitence stripping him of his right to leave the Abbey, threatening to expel him from the Order if he crossed him again. Ending the conversation, Marcello sent him back to the quarters.

Meanwhile, the party of travellers had heard the whole conversation and were later asked by Angelo to take a secret passage through the [[Ruined Abbey]] to check if the Abbot was alright. Angelo stated that he felt a sinister presence in the air. So the party did and came up under a trapdoor gravestone behind the Abbot's residence. They enter the building to see many unconscious guards and go to the Abbot's room where he is sleeping. Dhoulmagus was there, but he disappeared when he saw them.

Marcello and the Templars arrive to encounter the party and a confused Abbot. Marcello knelt next to the Abbot's bed as Francisco asked him what was going on. Marcello told him that there had been a breech of security and that some of the guards had been seriously wounded. Marcello said that he had come immediately fearing that he was in trouble, and caught the party. The Abbot protested stating that they were no criminals. Marcello argued that they were caught red-handed, but Francisco simply told him to look into their eyes and see that that were guilty of nothing. Marcello finally consented, but said that they must find out what they were lurking in his residence for so late at night. the Abbot told Marcello that he could question them, and Marcello thanked him.

Marcello was still not convinced, however, that they were not the attackers. He took them down to the Interrogation Room, which was connected to the Torture Room. In the room, the party insisted they had done nothing wrong, telling him that Angelo had told them to check up on the Abbot. Marcello told them that he was not as forgiving as the Abbot and would let them off the hook without any evidence. Angelo then entered the room, being called upon by Marcello. Marcello asked him if he had permitted them inside the Abbey, presenting Angelo's ring which he had found with the party. Unexpectedly, Angelo chuckled, taking the ring and stating, relieved, that it had finally turned up. He told Marcello that someone had stolen it from him at the pub, and that they were finally going to learn that crime doesn't pay. Angelo then left, saying that he could be found in his chambers. Marcello tried to stop him, but Angelo didn't listen. Marcello, saying that he would deal with him later, turned his attention back to the party.

Angered that so much of his time had been wasted, Marcello told the party to confess. Once again they claimed they didn't do anything. Then another Templar appeared, with a little green monster in his possession, [[King Trode]]. The monster then turned to the party calling their names and asking them what they were doing there. Marcello laughed, picking up Trode by the cloak, and berated the party for being friends with a monster. He presented his theory that the monster had ordered them to kill the Abbot so people would question their faith and send them into a confusion. Then they would move in and take control.

He then ordered the Templars to take them into a cell, so that he could torture them in the morning.

===The Funeral===
However, with the help of Angelo, the party escaped and left the Abbey through a secret passageway in the Torture Room. That was least of Marcello's worries, as the jester returned, wreaking even more havoc then he had before. Dhoulmagus forced his way to the Abbot's residence pursued by Marcello and the Templars. The jester set fire to the bridge leading to the Abbot's residence slowing down the pursuit, but Marcello and a few more Templars got through in time. Meanwhile, Angelo and the party saw the bridge burning from nearby and rushed to the Abbey to help. They crossed the bridge just before it collapsed.

Up in the Abbot's chambers, Marcello, his Templars already down, stood between Dhoulmagus and the Abbot. He was no match for Dhoulmagus and was thrown against the wall with a wave of the sceptre the jester wielded. Angelo arrived by Marcello's side as the Templar Captain gritted his teeth in pain. Marcello ordered Angelo to get the Abbot to safety, just as Dhoulmagus waved his sceptre again, throwing the two across the room. The Abbot qualmed Marcello's worries saying he has given himself to the Goddess, and his life was in her hands. Dhoulmagus drifted closer to Francisco preparing to kill him when suddenly Trode burst into the room. Dhoulmagus stopped and mock-bowed to Trode, making fun of him. Trode demanded him to turn him and his daughter, [[Medea]], to normal. Dhoulmagus simply rose the sceptre and threw it at Trode. Trode was saved however as Abbot Francisco dove in the way being stabbed clean through by the sceptre. Dhoulmagus levitated the sceptre back to his hand as Abbot Francisco collapsed. Dhoulmagus mocked them once more then retreated, flying through the window, his laugh echoing as he disappeared.

The Abbot's funeral was held the same night, the rain making everything even more gloomy. Marcello, who had managed to escape injury except for a slightly bandaged head, explained to everyone what had happened the night before, and cleared the party of any suspicion. And thus, Marcello became the new Abbot.

===Openings===
In the morning, Marcello summoned Angelo, Trode, and the party to his quarters. Marcello apologized to the party for doubting their innocence, King Trode having explained the entire situation they were in. Dhoulmagus stealing the sceptre, cursing the king and princess, and turning [[Trodain]] into ruins. Since he could not leave the Abbey himself, being the new Abbot and being very busy, Marcello asked the party if they would allow Angelo to aid them on their quest. Marcello told Angelo that he was the only Templar who did not have any duties to fulfill being the only one with an open schedule. Angelo claimed that there was no need to beat around the bush that he was simply useless. Angelo and the party still agreed, however, and Marcello gave them a map of the world considering it a peace offering, and wished them well on their journey.

Marcello assumes control after the Lord High Priest falls during an attack by the Rhapthorne possessed dog, and eventually destroys the [[The Holy Isle of Neos|Holy Shrine at Neos]] after previously maintaining control of the sceptre. However, he loses control after a battle with the party, allowing Rhapthorne to complete his resurrection and destroying the isle. He is found by Angelo grasping to the side of a precipice above the deep crater from which Rhapthorne has just risen. Resigned to die, Angelo saves Marcello nonetheless. In so doing, he says, "No, I won't let you die. You will go on living, knowing that the brother you despised your whole life took pity on you."

'''Princess Medea''' is a main character in ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''

==Story==
Medea is the courageous daughter of King [[Trode]] and the princess of the [[Kingdom of Trodain]]. She was cursed by [[Dhoulmagus]] to have the form of a horse.

She is the only one of three in the castle that were not petrified, the others being Trode and [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|The Hero]]. When in [[Pickham]], she is stolen, sold to Red, and returned for the Venus' Tear.

It was thought that she and Trode would be returned to normal after Dhoulmagus was defeated, but as it turned out, he was not the problem. Later, she and her father were returned to normal when [[Rhapthorne]] was defeated. Unlike [[Jessica Albert|Jessica]], she is the classical maiden.
Medea was renowned throughout the land for her loveliness and, even as a horse, she enchanted people with her exceptional beauty. Only those with keen supernatural power were able to perceive her true nature.

Eventually, the journey led to a mystical spring, from which the waters were able to disrupt the curse. By drinking from them, she was able to return to human form temporarily. She also developed the ability to communicate telepathically with the Hero, but only when both of them were asleep.

Despite the engagement to [[Prince Charmles]] of [[Argonia]], she harbored strong feelings for the Hero, who was also her childhood friend. She eventually married the Hero after he had been accused of kidnapping her. In the special ending sequence (obtained due to possessing the [[Argon ring]]) of the game as decreed by King [[Clavius]], the Hero is the rightful groom.

'''Trode''' is a non-playable character from [[Square Enix|Square Enix's]] ''[[Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King]]'', with one exception. He is the king of [[Trodain]], and [[Medea]]'s father. Both he and his daughter were cursed by [[Dhoulmagus]] as he stole the [[Godbird sceptre]] from Trodain's basement.

Trode makes cameo appearances in ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker]]'' and ''[[Dragon Quest IX]]''.

==Dragon Quest VIII==
Trode is a good monarch, consumed with the well-being of his kingdom and especially of [[Princess Medea|his daughter]], but shows little concern for anything else. After being cursed with a hideous, toad-like from, Trode travels via a wagon hitched to his now turned horse daughter (a fact that he often is upset by). After the defeat of Dhoulmagus, Trode is almost heartbroken by the fact that his and Medea's curse still lingers. However, once the demon [[Rhapthorne]] is finally defeated, the two are restored to normal. In the epilogue, King Trode decides to disrupt the arranged marriage of his daughter to [[Prince Charmles]] of [[Argonia]], and is hinted to be quite pleased with the romantic nature between Medea and the hero. In the special ending, he becomes the Hero's father-in-law after the revelation of the hero being revealed to be of noble birth.

He and Yangus have a recurring routine in which Trode will often appear out of nowhere during a scene, scaring the ex-thief witless.

Throughout the story, Trode offers wisdom and insight for the party as they travel the world, on the [[Battle Records]] menu. He also refurbishes an [[Krak Pot|alchemy pot]] he managed to recover from Castle Trodain, as it is an important and invaluable item for crafting new items and weapons.

==Other Appearances==
===[[Dragon Quest IX]]===
Trode appears at the [[Questor's Rest]] as a special guest, and will give the [[Hero (Dragon Quest IX)|hero]] various equipment when certain inn requirements are met. His physical appearance is identical to that of his cursed self from ''Dragon Quest VIII''.

'''Dhoulmagus''' is an important figure in [[Dragon Quest VIII]]. Until his defeat at the hands of the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII) |Hero]]'s party, he is apparently the player's central enemy in their journey. [[Rhapthorne|Lord Rhapthorne]], however, is the true villain of the game.

Dhoulmagus is a jester who came to Trodain castle. His deep desire to be the greatest magician of all time and resentment towards those who laughed at him fueled his breaking into the castle's secret chamber to obtain the legendary scepter of Rhapthorne. Almost immediately, he was overwhelmed by Rhapthorne's power and made to do such dastardly things as his pawn. Possessed by Rhapthorne, he killed his first four victims: His former master Rylus, the swordsman Alistair (Jessica's brother), Abbot Francisco, and Mr. Golding, the casino owner. The Hero and party eventually defeated him after a long chase, where the sceptor's dark influence transformed him into a monstrous creature. Upon his defeat, King Trode discovered that the curse on him and his daughter, Medea, had not been broken. Shortly after, Jessica would retrieve the sceptre, and become enthralled by it's malicious power.

==Characteristics==
His human form is quite formidable, but his demonic form is truly powerful and not to be underestimated by the player's party.

Dhoulmagus is very powerful compared to most enemies fought at that stage. In his first form, he summons two copies of himself which use the same abilities as him, and all three must be defeated to advance. The three possess heavy blows which strike multiple members, such has hurling rubble by telekinesis, or firing thousands of whip like strands out of his sceptre. they can also heal using midheal, making any attempt to damage them awkward. further contributing to the difficulty of this boss, He can attack with a "disruptive wave of energy" described in some guides as wave of ice. Rather than dealing damage, this removes every positive effect from the party, resetting their tension, and negating ooomph, haste, buff etc. The danger of this is that it not only halts any large scale offensive, but also makes the party vulnerable to his own attacks. More conventionally, he can use very powerful fire and ice spells, as well as a normal attack. fortunately, he has a tendency to burst out laughing, wasting turns.

==Other Appearances==
Outside his main role in ''Dragon Quest VIII'', Dhoulmagus also makes appearances in these titles.

:''"Superfast attacker who likes to rush his foes off their feet, and whose Kacrack packs a kick. Not a fan of earth attacks. Try not to be too annoyed by this self-satisfied clown laughing down his nose at you. Smack the smile off his smug old face!" - Dragon Quest IX bestiary''

Dhoulmagus appears as a [[Legacy Boss]] in [[Dragon Quest IX]]. His map can be dropped from [[Murdaw]] at higher levels (and thus can be obtained multiple times).
