The Hero is given the title "Legendary Hero" ({{ja|伝説の勇者|Densetsu no Yūsha}}) in ''Theatrhythm Dragon Quest'' and ''Dragon Quest: Monster Battle Road''; in other instances, such as promotional material, their name is '''Arus''' ({{ja|アルス|Arusu}}, occasionally romanized as '''Arusu''' and sometimes '''Alus''').<ref name=HeroInfo/> However, at the end of their adventure in ''Dragon Quest III'', the Hero receives the title of '''Erdrick''' ({{ja|ロト|Roto}}, ''Loto''), which becomes their most widely known moniker.

Like the previous installment, the player can choose the gender of the protagonist. The default names for the male and female Heroes in-game are '''Solo'''<ref name=HeroInfo/> ({{ja|ソロ|Soro}}) and '''Sofia''' ({{ja|ソフィア|Sofia}}), respectively; these names are also used for their appearances in later games. In the audio drama, the Hero is named '''Ray''' ({{ja|レイ|Rei}}), and in the official novelizations, his name is '''Yuuril''' ({{ja|ユーリル|Yūriru}}). | Like the previous installment, the player can choose the gender of the protagonist.

From a young age, the Hero was prophesied to defeat the Demons and restore peace to the world. They were raised by foster parents in a hidden village, protected from the outside world until they became an adult. Following a failed assassination attempt led by Psaro the Manslayer, the 18-year-old Hero finds themselves alone in a ransacked village. They soon set out on a quest to discover their true identity and fulfill the prophecy. | From a young age, the Hero was prophesied to defeat the Demons and restore peace to the world.
