'''[[Rodrigo]] Briscoletti''' is a character in {{Dragon Quest V}}.

A wealthy magnate and owner of several ships, Mr. Briscoletti is - father of his daughters {{Nera}} and {{Debora}} - lives in a mansion in [[Mostroferrato]].

==Appearances==
==={{DQ5}}===
Mr. Briscoletti is first seen during the Prologue when [[Pankraz]] and [[Hero (Dragon Quest V)|his son]] are disembarking at [[Littlehaven]]. He briefly introduces his daughter {{Nera}} to the two, but was unable to introduce his other daughter, {{Debora}}, as she had scurried off to the cabin. He is not seen again until after the first timeskip, when the {{Hero 5}} learns that he is in possession of the [[Zenithian shield]]. He is only willing to part with it to a man that marries his daughter {{Nera}} - and to that end, tasks all potential suitors with retrieving both the [[Circle of Fire]] and the [[Circle of Water]] to prove their worth.

Once the {{Hero 5}} has retrieved both rings, Rodrigo is impressed and allows him to marry his daughter. However, when Nera notices the {{Hero 5}}'s friend [[Bianca]], she wonders if he'd rather marry her. Mr. Briscoletti asks him to choose, agreeing to finance the wedding in either case. Before the {{Hero 5}} can make a decision, {{Debora}} arrives at the last minute and offers herself as a bride. Once the bride is chosen, the wedding is held and Mr. Briscoletti presents both the shield and a [[ship]] as wedding presents.

In the third generation, when the {{Hero 5}} and his twin children arrive in [[Mostroferrato]], they discover Rodrigo is in a panic. He explains that his ancestor Rudolph sealed away a demon in a [[The Pothold|nearby shrine]] over a century ago, and that said demon is about to emerge. Atop the lookout tower [[La Guardia]], they see the demon [[Bjørn the Behemoose]] emerge and approach the town. While Mr. Briscoletti runs off to prepare for battle, the {{Hero 5}} and the {{Party 5}} manage to defeat the demon before he can cause any damage.

==={{DQ11}}===
The {{Luminary}} and [[Party (Dragon Quest XI)|co.]] can visit the Briscoletti mansion via [[Tickington|Tickington's]] [[Echo Chamber]] in the Nintendo Switch version or [[Dragon Quest XI DLC|Definitive Edition]] of the game. Upon selecting the mansion on the Altar of the Heaventy Bride, the party will be transported to the mansion on the eve of the wedding day. They will find that all three [[Heavenly Bride|brides]] in the mansion have been turned into a copy of Rodrigo. Because the {{Hero 5}} ( of [[Dragon Quest V|''Dragon Quest V'']]) is away at the moment, the wedding has not yet fallen to disaster, but the source of the dopplegangers must be dealt with.

Rodrigo explains that a monster that his great-grandfather Rodolfo sealed away must have gotten loose, and asks the {{Party 11}} to slay the monster to undo the curse it must have placed on the household. The maid explains that she heard that the creature wants to reinvent itself, which tips the Luminary into realising that it has sulked off to {{Alltrades Abbey 6}}. 

Once the monster is dealt with, returning to the mansion will show that the potential [[Heavenly Bride|brides]] have returned to normal, and Rodrigo rewards the {{Luminary}} with a [[gold bar]] and a choice between two chests. However, the chest on the right is locked, and the player is forced to choose the left chest, which holds 2000g. The other chest is implied to contain the ring for the wedding.

Afterwards, Rodrigo asks the player to have a mock wedding to ensure everything is perfect for the actual day, and the player can choose one of their party members to be their 'bride' for the quest. Henceforth, the player can choose to have as many rehearsals with the cast as they would like.

==Trivia==
*In [[Dragon Quest XI|''Dragon Quest XI'']], when it comes time to choose the pretend bride, it is possible for the Luminary to approach Rodrigo himself for some amusing dialogue. While flattered, he declines the {{Hero 5}}'s hand in marriage.
