==Appearance and personality==
Rab is an elderly gentleman with a bushy pair of eyebrows and matching mustache, and covers his bald head with a red fez. He wears a red open vest with intricate yellow patterns over a long-sleeved white tunic and a black sash worn around his waist. He also wears a pair of orange trousers, leather shoes worn with yellow socks, and he walks around with the help of a cane. Rab is also always seen carrying a large backpack.

Rab is a jolly old man who does his best to keep a positive attitude despite the tragedies his family has suffered in the past as well as the hardship he and his companions endure on their journey, often humming a tune to himself to relief stress. Rab rarely loses his temper with anyone, and even when he scolds a character he follows it up with sage advice gleaned from the experiences of his long life. In regards to monsters, however, Rab is much more ferocious and will typically have the most dynamic and aggressive [[Party chat|party chat]] just before boss battles and fixed encounters--he still carries a strong grudge for the assault on castle Dundrasil and murder of his daughter and son-in-law.

Rab is seen as a grandfatherly figure by all members of the party, especially [[Jade]] and the Luminary due to their shared past and blood relation, respectively. His laid back and casual demeanor made him a popular figure among [[Erdrea]]'s royals during his time as king-- and later advisor--of Dundrasil, speaking plainly and amicably with aristocracy and peasants alike. During his travels with Jade he has rubbed elbows with important figures in several towns, which makes certain accommodations much easier for the party in the present. Being a former disciple of [[Grand Master Pang]] during his childhood training in [[Angri-La]], Rab practices a daily fitness routine based on the martial art that can be seen when the party is camping. Rab is also a bit of a dirty old man, keeping a copy of the ''Ogler's Digest'' magazine on his person, and he longs to get a copy of the out-of-print first issue. He frequently comments on the more curvaceous women the group encounters, particularly bunny girls, and one of his pep abilities involves getting a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nosebleed nosebleed] to power up.

Rab is the former king of Dundrasil, leaving the throne when [[King Irwin]] married his daughter [[Queen Eleanor]] approximately 16 years ago. His wife had passed away sometime prior to this and is not shown within the game, but it is stated that she was a beautiful woman Rab first met at a bookstore in Dundrasil's castle-town. In accordance with the royal family's tradition of sending male heirs off the Angri-La to recieve martial arts training, Rab spent six years of his youth in the mountain temple learning the ways enlightenment via the path of the fist. Though the training itself was a success, Rab would become infamous amongst the monks for reviving no less than 10,000 strikes to his backside from Grand Master Pang's [[Naughty stick]], a "record" the exasperated woman doubts will be broken in her life time.

Sixteen years before the beginning of the game, a council of kings took place in Dundrasil to discuss the reincarnation of the fabled Luminary as Rab's newborn grandson. Catastrophe would strike on that very night, however, with the monster hordes of Mordegon siege Dundrasil to kill the infant before he can grow to challenge the evil sorcerer. Rab was unable to save the lives of his daughter and son-in-law and was barely able to escape the castle's destruction himself, but he did encounter princess Jade of [[Heliodor]] as she lay exhausted in the forest surrounding the castle. Having accompanied her father, [[King Carnelian]], to the king's council earlier that day, she had spent time playing with queen Elanore and the newborn Luminary when the monsters attacked. Being entrusted with the infant's life by the queen, Jade carried his basket into the forest and lost if over a waterfall as she fled her pursuers. Hearing her story, the hope that his grandson still lives took hold of Rab's heart and he set out alongside the princess to travel the world in the hopes of finding him.

Rab was unable to save the lives of his daughter and son-in-law and was barely able to escape the castle's destruction himself, but he did encounter princess Jade of [[Heliodor]] and helped her out of the river which she had fallen into. Having accompanied her father, [[King Carnelian]], to the king's council earlier that day, she had spent time playing with queen Eleanor and the newborn Luminary when the monsters attacked. Being entrusted with the infant's life by the queen, Jade carried his basket into the forest and lost it over river rapids as she fled her pursuers. Hearing her story, the hope that his grandson still lives took hold of Rab's heart and he set out alongside the princess to travel the world in the hopes of finding him.


Rab is first encountered by the party in [[Octagonia]] as a participant in the tournament alongside Jade. Without revealing his identity to the party, he assists in the battle against monster beneath the town and admonishes [[Vince Vanquish]] for relying on such dangerous stimulants to win his battles in the tournament, but agrees to keep the matter a secret as the young martial artist only did it for the good of the town's orphanage. Once the [[Yellow orb]] is claimed by the Luminary, Rab asks the group to accompany him and Jade to the ruins of Dundrasil where he explains the situation and his connection to the man. The party holds a candle light vigil for the fallen King and Queen, with Rab tearing up as he proclaims that their son is still alive.
