The '''King Portogus Rex <ref>Name courtesy of the [[Royal Missive]] in the [[Cell phone]] and [[Nintendo Switch]] version.</ref> of [[Portoga]]''' is a character from {{DQ3}}.

He rules over the [[Portoga|coastal kingdom]] of the same name, and owns a fleet of fine sea vessels.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ3}}===
The King is particularly fond of [[Black pepper]], which he calls "the greatest treasure of the East", but has had little luck in obtaining a consistent supply: attempted expeditions to the east has resulted in many deaths due to the rise of monsters under [[Baramos]]. When the {{Hero 3}} arrived in [[Portoga]] looking for a [[ship]], the King seized the opportunity and promised to award them his own flagship if they could deliver black pepper; to that end, he gives the {{Hero 3}} a [[Royal Missive]] to present to [[Nordy the Dwarf]]. When the {{Hero 3}} returns with the [[Black pepper]], he declares them and their {{Party 3}} to be true heroes, and honors his promise and gives them his [[ship]].

The King is friends with Nordy, who says he is "honest and straightforward… And he knows how to treat a dwarf". Their friendship is such that the normally-curmudgeonly Nordy will grant passage through [[Nordy's Grotto|his grotto]] to those that the King vouches for. The King's friendly disposition extends to his own people, as evidenced when a woman states that he gave her a large chunk of his personal supply of pepper in the dead of night. 

==={{DQ11}}===
The King of [[Portoga]], along with the four other kings, travel to [[Baramos' Lair]] some time after the events of the third game. The sovereigns are there to honor those who fell to the archfiend's menace, specifically the [[King of the Necrogond]] who ruled the isolated land peacefully before [[Baramos]] invaded. To their horror, the remaining minions are attempting to revive their master in the heart of the castle. The King can tell that the {{Luminary}} is a fine warrior at a glance, and explains the situation to him before begging him for help.

Later on, when the {{Luminary}} returns to the castle, the King of [[Portoga]] explains that [[Baramos]] has revived despite the death of the [[Necrogondolier]]. He and the other kings have gathered their forces to confront the fiend, but [[Baramos]]' own armies have amassed to defend him. Beseeching the Luminary once more, the King of [[Portoga]] asks the {{Luminary}} to put an end to the evil once and for all. Once the archfiend has been killed once again, the King of [[Portoga]] declares that the }{{Luminary}} is truly a light in the darkness and gives him a set of [[Golden claws]]--how he gained these is unknown.
