The Hero's father initially suggests the name Madason ( гѓ€гѓігѓЊгѓ©, Tonnura), but soon changes his mind (though, if the player picks the name 'Madason' to begin with, the father will instead suggest 'Erdrick,' before changing his mind) regardless, the name is commonly used by fans to distinguish him. The default name for the Hero in-game in Japanese is Abel ( г‚ўгѓ™гѓ«). The Hero is given the title 'Legendary Monster Tamer' ( дјќиЄ¬гЃ®й”з‰©дЅїгЃ„) in Theatrhythm Dragon Quest and Dragon Quest: Monster Battle Road. The legendary armor the Hero of the game wears at a later point, which goes on to reappear in several other games in the series, serves as the inspiration for a downloadable Mii Swordfighter costume, under the name 'Erdrick's Armour'. These characters belong to a group known as the 'Descendants of Erdrick' ( гѓгѓ€гЃ®еђе«гЃџгЃЎ, Descendants of Loto).

They are the first Hero to have male and female variations, though neither choice affects the story in a major way.Д®rdrick is a fabled Hero in the lore of the Dragon Quest universe, known for their bravery in saving Alefgard and its surrounding lands from both the Archfiend Baramos and the Master Archfiend Zoma.

Notably, unlike the other Heroes, this Hero has no companions whatsoever and as such travels completely alone. Dragon Quest Builders, which takes place in an alternate timeline where the Hero instead joins forces with the Dragonlord, depicts him as a crazed villain who resides in a small fortress, believing himself to be the king of the world. He had an audience with the king of Alefgard, left for a dangerous journey and rescued Princess Gwaelin, defeating the Dragonlord and bringing the world to peace. The Scion of Erdrick does not have much character, simply being a stoic, silent hero for the player to assume the role of. He is uncommonly referred to as simply Erdrick ( гѓгѓ€, Loto), though the protagonist of Dragon Quest III is more commonly associated with this title. The Japanese Wii release of the game has the Hero's name as Solo ( г‚Ѕгѓ), a name which was also used for the Hero of Dragon Quest IV.
