==Background==

In ''[[Dragon Quest III]]'', the hero, who may be either male or female, departs from their home, [[Aliahan]], on their sixteenth birthday in order to follow in the footsteps of the brave warrior and the hero's father, [[Ortega]], to defeat the [[Demon Lord|archfiend]] [[Baramos]]. After defeating Baramos, the hero returns victorious to [[Aliahan]] only to be confronted by a new nemesis, [[Zoma]]. Taking up a new quest to defeat [[Zoma]], the hero travels through the [[Great Pit of Giaga]] to [[Alefgard]], which is sealed in darkness.

==Appearance==

Although Erdrick can be either male or female, their appearances are practically identical. They are of average height and build, and they have incredibly spiky dark brown hair. The female Erdrick is slightly shorter than her male counterpart, her hair sticks up less, and she wears a pair of green earrings. Around their forehead is a silver circlet inlaid with a green gem. They wear a long blue tunic over a yellow long-sleeved shirt and pants, a pair of knee-length leather boots, leather gloves, and a long purple cloak around their necks. They wear a brown leather belt around their waist, and a scabbard strapped to their back. The hero wields a simple sword and a grey heater shield with an insignia of a dragon's head and two crossed swords on the front. The hero's outfit is slightly different in the Famicom illustrations, having a gold circlet with a blue gem around their forehead, and a dark blue cloak around their neck. He is seen carrying a cutlass and a round version of Erdrick's shield. There was also no illustrations of the female Erdrick until the Super Famicom remake. In certain illustrations, the female Erdrick's outfit is more feminized, making her blue tunic a strapless miniskirt, and giving her knee-length yellow stockings instead of pants, as well as elbow length yellow sleeves.

==Origins of Title==

At the end of ''[[Dragon Quest III]]'' the King of [[Alefgard]] bestows upon the hero '''''~~The~~ Order of Erdrick''''', the country’s highest honor reserved only for true heroes. This implies ''Erdrick'' is a title rather than the hero's actual name. The hero is referred to by this title in all references outside of Dragon Quest III.

Attempting to name the hero "Erdrick" in ''Dragon Quest III'' for the NES will generate a message requesting the player to enter their real name; however, if a space is added at the end, the warning message will not be displayed and the game may be played with the hero being named "Erdrick ".

==Lineage==

In ''[[Dragon Quest]]'', Erdrick was the ancestor of [[Hero (Dragon Quest)|~~The~~ Hero]]. The hero follows in the footsteps of Erdrick to ultimately reach [[Charlock Castle]] and confront the [[Dragonlord]].

In ''[[Dragon Quest II]]'', the heroes are descendants of Erdrick, and also of the hero from ''[[Dragon Quest]]''.

Line 44:

When ''[[Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies]]'' was released in North America and Europe, the name '''Erdrick''' was once again used to refer to the legendary hero of ''[[Dragon Quest III]]'', effectively returning to the original English localization from the NES era.

In all remakes of the game, the hero's attribute growth is determined by their [[List of personality types in Dragon Quest III|Personality]]. At the start of the game, the hero is asked a series of questions by a mysterious voice in the sky, culminating in a short scene in order to see just what type of person the hero is. There are 32 different personalities that can be assigned at the beginning, but it is possible to change it with the help of various books or accessories that can be found. The hero is a true jack-of-all-trades in any case, being able to fulfill a variety of different roles in combat, such as being a powerful physical attacker or dedicated healer.

==Equipment==

The hero has access to a very wide range of both weapons, ranging from swords, spears, axes, as well as whips and boomerangs in the remakes. They are capable of being outfitted with the heaviest armour, shields, and helmets available. Erdrick is also the only character capable of using the legendary equipment, which will prove useful when fighting against [[Zoma]]. In the remake versions, the hero begins his journey equipped with a [[copper sword]] and [[wayfarer's clothes]].
