Pankraz Gotha first appeared at Dragon Quest IV:Hands of Heavenly Bride. He was the dad of the hero, Madason. Pankraz was the King once, but however, it seems like everyone did not know he was a King, and thought another Pankraz was a King. There is a scene from the start that you would see the Pankraz there. His new son, Madason would be born then. Everyone thinks they've imagined that Pankraz was the King, but indeed he was. Later in the game, Pankraz will join your team and help you throughout. At the Kidnapping of King Harry, he will fall into fate. Pankraz will order you to leave with Harry in the Kidnapper's hideout, and then you'll approach Bishop Ladja. He will attack you, and you must lose this battle. Then Pankraz comes to rescue, but then he wins and Bishop Ladja threatens him he'll kill Madason if he doesn't lose. Then slowly, Pankraz tries to lose...And then his fate had come. Then at the end, he will tell Madason about the disapppearance of his Mother, Mada. He tells Madason that his Mother is still alive. Then Bishop Ladja casts his last spell, and he vanishes into dust and dies. Then after the Prince Harry and Madason is taken as slaves, and then the pet, Saber, is left with him. The Sabrecub will find his way out, and he'll appear back in the story to help Madason again.
