Rab (ロウ, Rō), also know by his formal title of Lord Robert, is a character in Dragon Quest XI. Despite his advanced age, he displays considerable abilities as a martial artist and magical prowess. He is a former king of Dundrasil, and is the grandfather of the Luminary.
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 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 nosebleed to power up.
Despite his eccentricities and the humor at his expense they often bring, Rab is just as determined to save the world from the forces of evil as the rest of his companions, seeking to avenge his fallen kingdom and family while guiding his grandson to be the ultimate hero of legend.
