[[Psaro]] enlisted or otherwise created him ~~for the~~ sole purpose of protecting Rose from anyone who managed to infiltrate the small fortress ~~he built for her~~. The party must kill him to speak with Rose. Though just a palette swap of a regular knight enemy, he is significantly more powerful. Moreover, he uses the [[Sphere of Silence]] to prevent the party from casting spells.

Roseguardin's nature is unknown; while it is possible that he is an animated suit of armor as with the monsters he shares his design with, the novel ''Legend in the Dark'' depicts him as a humanoid man with red hair and pointed ears.

He is an optional boss in [[Dragon Quest IV Chapter 5|Chapter 5]] that can be defeated to (re)gain the Sphere of Silence. Depending on the version of the game, Sir Roseguardin will no longer be available to battle after either the defeat of [[Estark]] or the completion of Chapter 5. The latter case is rather strange as the humans who kidnapped Rose would have had to get past Sir Roseguardin, but he will still be standing after the kidnapping already took place and is somehow completely unaware that the one he is supposed to protect is no longer present.

Sir Roseguardin is a boss encountered in the Rosehill section of the [[Echo Chamber]]. The encounter is before the chosen reach the tower, and he has been driven mad by a monster's curse. Chasing Rose and her slime around the chamber, the [[Hero (Dragon Quest XI)|Luminary]] knocks sense into him and returns him to normal. Aghast at his actions, he vows to leave and never return, but this farewell is interrupted by the slime who points out that the flute of revelation Psaro uses to access the tower is now broken. A revelatree branch is required to fix the instrument.
