Cesar (ツェザール,, Tsuezāru?, lit. César) is one of the main characters of Dragon Quest Heroes II. He is a mighty warrior prince.
Appearance and Personality[edit | edit source]
Cesar is a muscular young man with green eyes and light brown hair that is slicked back and reaches to his shoulders. A single forelock falls in front of the right side of his face. He wears a black sleeveless shirt and black trousers tucked into indigo boots covered by greaves, a metal breastplate, faulds, and vambraces, along with a pair of purple fingerless gloves. On his back he carries his large greatsword in a scabbard that goes across his chest and a long purple cape with a royal insignia around his neck.
In his youth, Cesar attended the same military academy as Lazarel and Teresa, but at some point became estranged from them. Due to his combat prowess, he is known as the Princely Powerhouse.
Abilities[edit | edit source]
In battle, he wields a greatsword, taking over from Psaro from the first game. He uses a combination of both physical and magical abilities in combat, such as the Bang series of spells, Solar Flair and Bazoom. When he is in High Tension mode, his hair spikes up. His Coup de Grâce is Blade of Ultimate Power.
