Editing Hendrik (section)

==Appearance and Personality==
Hendrik is a tall and powerfully built man with sharp features and blue-green eyes. He has shoulder-length light purple hair with a single strand hanging over the left side of his face, as well as a goatee. Hendrik was born in the kingdom of [[Zwaardsrust Region|Zwaardsrust]], which was founded by the legendary Warrior King [[Drustan]]. He has fond memories of his birthplace before its destruction. As Heliodor's general, he wears an ornate suit of black knight's armor decorated with gold edges over chainmail, black gauntlets over leather gloves, black trousers, and black greaves worn over a tall pair of black leather boots. There is an insignia of a golden two-headed eagle, the symbol of Heliodor, emblazoned on the front of his breastplate. He wears a long black cape with red lining, which is attached to his armor and he carries a two-handed sword on his back in a scabbard. The golden two-headed eagle is also embroidered on the back of Hendrik's cape.

When he joins the party, Hendrik eschews his black knight's armor, instead wearing a long padded tabard quartered sky blue and dark blue over a yellow turtleneck sweater, black trousers, and a pair of tall leather boots. He also wears a pair of leather gloves, and two leather belts, one around his waist and the other across his chest. His armor was designed by [[Jasper]], his fellow knight. Like the other {{Party 11}} members, he is able to change his appearance with a variety of different costumes, including being able to wear his old [[Heliodor]]ian set of armor.

Hendrik is known for his strong sense of duty and loyalty to the kingdom of Heliodor, and he is unrivaled in swordsmanship. He has defeated countless monsters in the service of his kingdom and is willing to lay down his life to protect his liege. He is childhood friends with both [[Jasper]] and [[Jade]] and spent his youth training in [[Puerto Valor]] under the tutelage of [[Don Rodrigo]] alongside [[Sylvando]]. Hendrik was shocked to discover that his fellow trainee had become a traveling performer rather than a knight like himself. According to [[Sylvando]], Hendrik was not innately talented in swordsmanship and trained diligently day and night in order to achieve his skill. His daily routine is training and walking with his horse, Obsidian, a large jet-black stallion.<ref>[[Dragon Quest XI Character Book]]</ref> He relieves stress by reading books, which he often does around the campfire.

Despite his serious personality, Hendrik is secretly a connoisseur of the Ogler's Digest series of magazines, much like [[Rab]]. His favorite thing about himself is his facial hair, which he grew in imitation of [[King Carnelian]]. Hendrik's favorite type of food is any kind of mushroom and his prized possessions are his token of fealty and the [[Shield of Heliodor]]. The thing he wants most is a new whetstone. He is allergic to cats and has trouble with insects. Hendrik has trouble imagining what life would be like not being a knight. But if peace is achieved, he would like to settle down in a small village and raise a field of wheat, something which always reminds him of his birthplace.
