==Story==
{{translation|'''Angelo'''|ククール|Kukūru/Kukūle}} is a playable character in {{Dragon Quest VIII}}. He is a complicated man who hides his somber past behind an ambivalent, suave mask of a gambler and playboy. Though seemingly indifferent to the plights of others and even coming off as condescending at times, Angelo is nevertheless a dependable companion and an asset to the party's efforts.
After losing his parents at a young age, he was brought in by Francisco, the abbot of Maella Abbey, like many other orphans. He grew up to be on of the Templar Knights, responsible for the abbey's protection. He likes to gamble and drink, making him a disgrace in the other templars' eyes, but he has the favour of Abbot Francisco. His half-brother Marcello, head of the Templar Knights, considers Angelo to be the cause of his sorrows. Marcello orders him to join the party after the events at Maella Abbey.


As a knight of the Templars, Angelo is a master of restorative and defensive magic, and has access to wind and instant death spells as well. His weapons of choice consist of [[Sword (weapon type)|sword]]s (particularly rapiers), [[Bow (weapon type)|bow]]s, and [[Wand (weapon type)|staves]].


==Personality==
He has gone on to appear in ''[[Fortune Street]]'', became one of the playable characters in {{Dragon Quest Heroes II}}, and was one of the original leader characters in {{Rivals}}. Angelo is also a playable character in ''[[Theatrhythm Dragon Quest]]'' and appears as a special hero character in {{DQTact}}.
Angelo marches to the beat of his own drum, caring little of his religious and ceremonial roles at the abbey (although his swordsmanship and bow proficiency are impressive enough for him to become a Templar knight). He's more interested in hustling the rubes at nearby Simpleton and chasing ladies than in carrying out the duties of his station, and his party chat dialogue proves him to be very fussy at times, especially concerning his appearance. Despite all this, when push comes to shove, he will go to extraordinary lengths to see things through; even outshining the rising star, Marcello, to save Abbot Francisco not long after meeting the party. The rest of the time, he wants to be carried around by his free spirit, as captured in one of his remarks prior to undertaking the Dragovian trials:
 
==Appearance and Personality==
Angelo is an attractive young man with silver-white hair that frames his face and a long ponytail tied with a black ribbon that reaches halfway down his back. He has blue eyes and wears small gold hoop earrings on each ear. Although he is a member of the Templars, Angelo wears a unique red version of the uniform, which consists of a red long-sleeved tailcoat with white lining and brass buttons on the front and two long tails on the back worn over a black long-sleeved shirt, red trousers, and a red capelet with black lining that reaches down to his hips which he wears over his torso. He wears dark brown shoes covered by white spats with brass buttons that go past his knees, as well dark brown leather gloves. He wears his templar's ring on his right hand. Angelo also wears a leather sword belt around his waist with a green scabbard on his right side where he holds his rapier. He is left-handed.

Angelo marches to the beat of his own drum, caring little of his religious and ceremonial roles at the abbey (although his swordsmanship and bow proficiency are impressive enough for him to become a Templar knight). He's more interested in hustling the rubes at nearby Simpleton and chasing ladies than in carrying out the duties of his station, and his party chat dialogue proves him to be very fussy at times, especially concerning his appearance. He is a playboy who constantly comments on the attractiveness of women he comes across on the journey. Angelo is something of a joker as well, and enjoys poking fun at people with serious attitudes at their own expense, such as his half-brother. Despite all this, when push comes to shove, he will go to extraordinary lengths to see things through; even outshining the rising star, Marcello, to save Abbot Francisco not long after meeting the party. The rest of the time, he wants to be carried around by his free spirit, as captured in one of his remarks prior to undertaking the Dragovian Trials:


"If there's one thing I hate in this life, it's a trial. What kind of masochistic lunatic would come all the way up here to endure a grueling, not to mention tedious, challenge?"

Line 25: Line 32:
There are a few other characters worth remarking on. Marcello is Angelo's half brother, a character with a zealous hatred of the nobility. That, as the illegitimate son of one of his father's house servants, he was disowned by his aristocratic family imbues him with a desire to stick it to well-bred institutions--and their members--everywhere. He despises his half-brother, while he and Angelo are outwardly quite similar, the difference between the two is rather apparent.

*Angelo also boasts a 25% resistance to ice-type damage.


*Angelo also boasts a 20% resistance to ice-type damage.
Angelo learns a variety of spells and a decent amount of physical skills, though as a [[Priest]] he excels when healing and supporting his companions. He can improve his swordfighting skills, but his Strength is greatly outclassed by the Hero, making it an inadvisable path for him. It is a good idea to level up Angelo's Staves skill to increase his max MP and spell repertoire. His Charisma skills are excellent for countering Tension-happy foes as well as inflicting status ailments, and Pearly Gates is a fantastic crowd control ability during the end-game. Angelo's efficiency shines most when using a bow however, as the Cherub's Arrow and Seraph's Arrow skills will allow Angelo to easily recharge his MP while dealing damage and the Multishot and Shining Shot skills allow him to perform crowd control on groups resistant to wind damage. His selection of equipment is similar to that of Priest's, being able to equip clothing, robes and hats for spellcasters, as well as some light armour and helmets, but nearly as many as the Hero or [[Yangus]]. The Nintendo 3DS version significantly increased the amount of skill points that Angelo gains at earlier levels to put him on par with the rest of the party, giving the player more choices for where to invest his skill points.


==Abilities==
====Spells====
Angelo learns a variety of spells and a decent amount of physical skills, though as a [[priest|Priest]] he is naturally at his best when healing his companions. He can learn to use a sword but his proficiency is outclassed by the Hero, making it an inadvisable path for him. It is a good idea to level up Angelo's staff skill to increase his MP and spell repertoire. His Charisma skills are excellent for countering tension-happy foes as well as inflicting status ailments, and Pearly Gates is a fantastic crowd control ability during the end-game. Angelo's physical strength shines most when using a bow, however, as most bow skills cause debilitating affects that can shut down foes before they even get a chance to strike.

* [[Angelo's gloves]] - Received after the inn is fully expanded.
* [[Templar's tresses]] - Received when it is the player's birthday.
* [[Templar's trousers]] - Received when the Hero is a [[Priest]].
* [[Templar boots]] - Received after completing [[Template:DQIXQuest/157|Quest #157]].
The player will earn the accolade '''Tasty Templar''' for equipping all of the pieces of Angelo's equipment.
 
===''[[Fortune Street]]''===
Angelo is one of the represenatives of the Dragon Quest series and is playable by default in the game.
 
==={{DQH2}}===
Angelo debuts as a playable character in Heroes 2 as the second-to-last set of otherworldly travelers the band of heroes come across, alongside [[Jessica]]. The duo are first met in the cold mountain of Mt. Neverest where Angelo saves Jessica from a surprise attack by a [[Powie yowie]]. Upon meeting the band of heroes, Angelo has a hunch that he and Jessica were suddenly transported to another land during the course of their travels together, which is reinforced by the other travelers who share their predicament. The protagonists offer the two to join their party, which Jessica promptly accepts since the alternative option would leave her alone with Angelo.
 
In the game Angelo and his weapon of choice is the [[Bows]]. Like [[Bianca Whitaker]] from the first entry, Angelo is a long-range support fighter that can attack safely from a distance with a myriad of ranged techniques like [[Rain of Pain]] or [[Shining Shot]], and bolster his allies performance with [[Oomph]] and the [[Timbrel of tension]]. His [[Coup de Grâce]] is [[Pearly Gates]], which has a different animation if the game is the Japanese or English version.

Angelo
Dragon Quest VIII
Japanese name ククール
Romaji Kukūru
Title Templar
The Archest Archer (Heroes II)
Vocation Priest
Race Human
Age 20s
Family Marcello (paternal half-brother)
Voice actor Blake Ritson (English)
Yoshimasa Hosoya (Japanese)

"I bet they were head over heels in love when they got married. And then she died before they had time to get sick of each other. It's the perfect love story."

Angelo (ククール, Kukūru/Kukūle?) is a playable character in Dragon Quest VIII. He is a complicated man who hides his somber past behind an ambivalent, suave mask of a gambler and playboy. Though seemingly indifferent to the plights of others and even coming off as condescending at times, Angelo is nevertheless a dependable companion and an asset to the party's efforts.

As a knight of the Templars, Angelo is a master of restorative and defensive magic, and has access to wind and instant death spells as well. His weapons of choice consist of swords (particularly rapiers), bows, and staves.

He has gone on to appear in Fortune Street, became one of the playable characters in Dragon Quest Heroes II, and was one of the original leader characters in Rivals. Angelo is also a playable character in Theatrhythm Dragon Quest and appears as a special hero character in Dragon Quest Tact.

Appearance and Personality[edit | edit source]

Angelo is an attractive young man with silver-white hair that frames his face and a long ponytail tied with a black ribbon that reaches halfway down his back. He has blue eyes and wears small gold hoop earrings on each ear. Although he is a member of the Templars, Angelo wears a unique red version of the uniform, which consists of a red long-sleeved tailcoat with white lining and brass buttons on the front and two long tails on the back worn over a black long-sleeved shirt, red trousers, and a red capelet with black lining that reaches down to his hips which he wears over his torso. He wears dark brown shoes covered by white spats with brass buttons that go past his knees, as well dark brown leather gloves. He wears his templar's ring on his right hand. Angelo also wears a leather sword belt around his waist with a green scabbard on his right side where he holds his rapier. He is left-handed.

Angelo attempting to flirt with Jessica.

Angelo marches to the beat of his own drum, caring little of his religious and ceremonial roles at the abbey (although his swordsmanship and bow proficiency are impressive enough for him to become a Templar knight). He's more interested in hustling the rubes at nearby Simpleton and chasing ladies than in carrying out the duties of his station, and his party chat dialogue proves him to be very fussy at times, especially concerning his appearance. He is a playboy who constantly comments on the attractiveness of women he comes across on the journey. Angelo is something of a joker as well, and enjoys poking fun at people with serious attitudes at their own expense, such as his half-brother. Despite all this, when push comes to shove, he will go to extraordinary lengths to see things through; even outshining the rising star, Marcello, to save Abbot Francisco not long after meeting the party. The rest of the time, he wants to be carried around by his free spirit, as captured in one of his remarks prior to undertaking the Dragovian Trials:

"If there's one thing I hate in this life, it's a trial. What kind of masochistic lunatic would come all the way up here to endure a grueling, not to mention tedious, challenge?"

There are a few other characters worth remarking on. Marcello is Angelo's half brother, a character with a zealous hatred of the nobility. That, as the illegitimate son of one of his father's house servants, he was disowned by his aristocratic family imbues him with a desire to stick it to well-bred institutions--and their members--everywhere. He despises his half-brother, while he and Angelo are outwardly quite similar, the difference between the two is rather apparent.

Appearances[edit | edit source]

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King[edit | edit source]

After losing his parents at a young age, he was brought in by Francisco, the abbot of Maella Abbey, like many other orphans. He grew up to be one of the Templar Knights, responsible for the abbey's protection. He likes to gamble and drink, making him a disgrace in the other templars' eyes, but he has the favour of Abbot Francisco. His half-brother Marcello, head of the Templar Knights, considers Angelo to be the cause of his sorrows. Marcello orders him to join the party after the events at Maella Abbey.

Stats[edit | edit source]

Attribute Starting Stats Maximum Stats
Level 12 99
HP 72 725
MP 38 640
Strength 37 350
Agility 34 220
Resilience 20 200
Wisdom 39 458
Initial gear Rapier, Templar's uniform, Templar's ring
  • Angelo also boasts a 25% resistance to ice-type damage.

Angelo learns a variety of spells and a decent amount of physical skills, though as a Priest he excels when healing and supporting his companions. He can improve his swordfighting skills, but his Strength is greatly outclassed by the Hero, making it an inadvisable path for him. It is a good idea to level up Angelo's Staves skill to increase his max MP and spell repertoire. His Charisma skills are excellent for countering Tension-happy foes as well as inflicting status ailments, and Pearly Gates is a fantastic crowd control ability during the end-game. Angelo's efficiency shines most when using a bow however, as the Cherub's Arrow and Seraph's Arrow skills will allow Angelo to easily recharge his MP while dealing damage and the Multishot and Shining Shot skills allow him to perform crowd control on groups resistant to wind damage. His selection of equipment is similar to that of Priest's, being able to equip clothing, robes and hats for spellcasters, as well as some light armour and helmets, but nearly as many as the Hero or Yangus. The Nintendo 3DS version significantly increased the amount of skill points that Angelo gains at earlier levels to put him on par with the rest of the party, giving the player more choices for where to invest his skill points.

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies[edit | edit source]

Angelo appears as one of the guests at Erinn's Inn at Stornway. This was only achievable through the DQVC using Nintendo's Wi-Fi Channel when it was still available. He will give the player various items when certain conditions are filled, such as talking to him on your birthday, talking to him as a Priest, and once Quester's Rest has been fully upgraded.

The player will earn the accolade Tasty Templar for equipping all of the pieces of Angelo's equipment.

Fortune Street[edit | edit source]

Angelo is one of the represenatives of the Dragon Quest series and is playable by default in the game.

Dragon Quest Heroes II[edit | edit source]

Angelo debuts as a playable character in Heroes 2 as the second-to-last set of otherworldly travelers the band of heroes come across, alongside Jessica. The duo are first met in the cold mountain of Mt. Neverest where Angelo saves Jessica from a surprise attack by a Powie yowie. Upon meeting the band of heroes, Angelo has a hunch that he and Jessica were suddenly transported to another land during the course of their travels together, which is reinforced by the other travelers who share their predicament. The protagonists offer the two to join their party, which Jessica promptly accepts since the alternative option would leave her alone with Angelo.

In the game Angelo and his weapon of choice is the Bows. Like Bianca Whitaker from the first entry, Angelo is a long-range support fighter that can attack safely from a distance with a myriad of ranged techniques like Rain of Pain or Shining Shot, and bolster his allies performance with Oomph and the Timbrel of tension. His Coup de Grâce is Pearly Gates, which has a different animation if the game is the Japanese or English version.
