The '''King of Manoza''' is the ruler of the [[Manoza|southernmost kingdom]] in {{DQ3}}.
 
==Appearances==
==={{DQ3}}===
When the {{Hero 3}} and {{Party 3}} first enters [[Manoza]], they witness the funeral of a man who did nothing more than criticize the King and was put to death for it. This is in stark contrast to the sovereign responsibility exemplified in the other monarchs, and the first hint to the player that something is rotten in the southern continent.

After exploring the castle and speaking to the the guards, dancing girls, kitchen staff, the [[Princess of Manoza|Princess]], and then King himself, the {{Hero 3}} finds he is a vulgar and crude wretch who orders them to be tossed into the dungeon because of their appearance. There, the truth is revealed--the man on the throne is nothing more than [[Boss troll]] who stole the real King's [[Mod Rod]] and has been impersonating him. The real rules begs the {{Hero 3}} to find the [[Ra's Mirror]] in the [[Manoza Cave|southeastern cave near the castle]] and expose the monster. The {{Hero 3}} and {{Party 3}} opt for a final solution to the problem and slaughter the brute after retrieving the mirror.

With the real King back on the throne, peace returns to [[Manoza]] and the man could not be any more grateful to the {{Hero 3}} for freeing his people and daughter.

Like the other Kings, the [[Portoga]] monarch travels to the [[Baramos' Lair|former castle of Baramos]] to pay respect to the people and [[King of the Necrogond|King]] of the land who were killed when the archfiend invaded. The group and their guards were mortified to find that the castle is crawling with monsters seeking to revive their late master.

The King of [[Manoza]] is found in the rear section of the castle, in shock that his guard has been pulled away by monsters and left shuddering at the man's fate. He is flanked by two skeletons that seek to make him a sacrifice for their master, but the {{Luminary}} makes short work of them. The King is grateful for the rescue, but is more worried about his abducted guard. The King is overjoyed when the [[Necrogondolier]] is killed, and moreso that his guard is safe.

When [[Baramos]] revives despite the death of his henchman, the King of [[Manoza]] returns along with the other kings to besige the castle with their own armies. He is found in the same room as before and, unwilling to put his own men harm's way just for his sake, he attempts to fight two monsters on his own. The {{Luminary}} makes quick work of the mob, and the King admits that his fighting days are over after the rescue. After the archfiend is obliterated, the King stands astonished that anyone but the legendary {{Hero 3}} of [[Aliahan]] could be so powerful.

==={{DQStars}}===
The king and his imposter appear in the scenario based on {{III}}, and this marks the first time he has been illustrated in official media.
