Editing Hank Hoffman Jr. (section)

==={{DQ4}}===
{{spoiler|start}}
The son of an [[inn]]keeper at the [[Last Chance Saloon]], Hank lost faith in his friends when they seemingly betrayed him while on a quest, and as a result distrusts all humanity. However, after the {{Party 4}} shows him the [[Symbol of faith]] they found in the [[Con Cave]], he comes to his senses and is able to come to terms with the past.

He then joins the {{Party 4}} and brings the [[wagon]] with him. Eventually, the party reaches [[Mintos]] and helps [[Alena]] and [[Borya]] to retrieve the [[Feverfew#Feverfew root|Feverfew root]] to cure an ill [[Kiryl]].  Upon leaving, Hank decides to learn his father's trade from [[Hilton]] and leaves the {{Party 4}}, giving them his [[wagon]] and his horse, [[Mary Lou]], in thanks.

====Remake changes====
*Hoffman takes the Symbol of faith when it's shown to him, whereas in the {{NES}} version it remains in the player's inventory.
*He leaves upon the party entering [[Mintos]] for the first time, regardless of whether he's in the line up or not.  Afterward, he attends a lecture held by Hilton, and temporarily works at the [[Inn]] after the {{Hero 4}} is joined by [[Alena]] and [[Kiryl]].
*He's later found running the [[Pioneer Town]] after the [[Magic Key]] is obtained.
