Line 31:

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.

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.

==Trivia==

* Rab is 70 years old, measuring 130cm tall and weighing 70kg.

* His favourite thing about himself is his thick white moustache. His favourite food is Dundrasil sandwiches. He sings songs to relieve stress.

* His motto is 'Old, but spry'

* One line of Rab's dialogue was changed for ''Dragon Quest XI S''. When he recommends that the party travel to [[Puerto Valor]], he now acknowledges that the town is "off to the northwest of [[Gondolia]]." In the original version of ''Dragon Quest XI'', his dialogue was much the same, except that he did not say where Puerto Valor was.

* In the international [https://www.famitsu.com/news/202001/11190471.html fan poll] for ''Dragon Quest XI'' that was released by Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu, Rab placed last in popularity among the playable party members, with a total of 152 votes.
