Torneko Taloon: Difference between revisions

Line 23:

Even though much of his time and effort goes toward accruing [[gold coin]]s, he doesn't do this out of greed, but to make his wife happy and for altruistic endeavors. Overall, he is a very kind person. On multiple occasions Torneko goes out of his way to help others in need, regardless of whether it will benefit him for doing so or not (examples including delivering [[Regan|Prince Regan's]] love letter to [[Veronica]], and smuggling a [[Chimera Wing]] to [[Finn]] so he can escape jail).

While not necessarily greedy, Torneko has the typical mindset of a merchant, always looking for opportunities to set up shop and make a profit, even at rather inopportune times and locations. While Torneko appears to be loyal to [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|the hero]] to the end, he jokes about leaving the party after having collected the [[Zenithian Equipment]] since that was his original goal to begin with. He does seem to have a rather cowardly side. As seen in the party chat, Torneko would sometimes volunteer to remain behind in the wagon right before facing a formidable adversary, only to claim he was kidding right afterwards. Torneko is often noted by his boss to be lazy. This is further seen when he meets the Hero, [[Meena]] and [[Maya]] at [[Pharos Beacon]]. Since he considered the monsters too tough for him to handle himself, he sticks the task of restoring light to the flames to the others before heading back to [[Porthtrunnel]] (although this action could be somewhat justified by the fact that Torneko had a bounty on his head for rebuilding the Trans-Montane Tunnel).

Although he can equip almost any weapon he likes, Torneko is pictured holding the [[Astraea's abacus]] in the official character art for ''[[Dragon Quest Heroes II: Twin Kings and the Prophecy's End|Dragon Quest Heroes II]]''.
