The '''Haunted Housekeeper''' is the first boss in {{DQ5}}. He is the ringleader behind the hauntings at [[Uptaten Towers]]. When first confronted, he drops the {{Hero 5}} and [[Bianca Whitaker]] down a trap door where they are to be prepared as a feast. Unfortunately for him, they manage to fight off the undead and face him at the balcony.

When first confronted, he drops the {{Hero 5}} and [[Bianca Whitaker]] down a trap door where they are to be prepared as a feast. Unfortunately for him, they manage to fight off the undead and face him at the balcony. He has gone on to make appearances in spinoff games in the series.
 
==Characteristics==
The haunted housekeeper has the appearance of a [[Humanoid family|wizened old man]] with pale red skin wearing a hooded purple robe that obscures most of his body, spindly hands outstretched ready to cast magic. In remake versions of the game, he wears a gold necklace decorated with red gems and gold bracelets on his wrists. His mouth is agape, revealing that the monster is missing many teeth.


The Housekeeper can be tough at lower levels due to his fire magic physical attacks. Getting upgraded equipment in [[Roundbeck]] is recommended. If {{Bianca}} is at least level 7, she can cast [[Kasap]] to make him more vulnerable to melee attacks. Once he is defeated, he will surrender and confess that he and the ghosts were outcasts from [[Nadiria]] and were simply looking for a home.
