Sir Mervyn

Learn about Sir Mervyn, an ancient paladin who joins your party in Dragon Quest VII. Discover his history, personality, and role in the fight against Orgodemir.

Hey there! So, you're looking to learn about Sir Mervyn in Dragon Quest VII? He's a pretty cool character, a seasoned warrior who fought alongside the Almighty ages ago against the Demon Lord Orgodemir. You'll meet him after he's been sealed away in a special stone, and the Hero and the party free him. He'll then join you on your adventure! Who is Sir Mervyn? Sir Mervyn is an elderly paladin. He's all geared up in chain mail and wears a tunic like the other members of the Holy Order of the Almighty. Oh, and he's got this awesome bushy white mustache! His Personality Because he's from a long time ago, Sir Mervyn speaks in a way that sounds a bit old-fashioned to us now, using words like 'thou' and 'thee'. Don't worry though, he's super polite to everyone, even calling the Hero 'Master Hero' and Maribel 'Miss Maribel'. He's got a really strong sense of duty and justice, and he hates what the Demon King does. He's also fascinated by how peaceful the world is now compared to his fighting days, and he loves exploring past worlds to fix things. He can be a little cheeky sometimes, though! He once mentioned wanting to see Aishe dancing, but he did apologize for it. His Story Sir Mervyn fought with the Almighty against Orgodemir for a long time. Before the final battle, the Almighty sealed him in a stone called the Hero Stone (though someone later called it the Sizzling Stone) because he wasn't sure he'd survive the fight. This stone was hidden away, and Sir Mervyn became a legend. Eventually, a guy named Pike found the stone and tried to sell it. He eventually sold it to Bulgio for a *lot* of gold. Bulgio knew it was the Hero Stone and wanted to use it to revive Sir Mervyn to be his servant. He took it to The Tallest Tower and placed it on an altar to break the seal. After Bulgio and your party freed Sir Mervyn, he thanked them. Bulgio was a bit disappointed he wasn't more muscular, but he let Sir Mervyn join the Hero's party. Sir Mervyn wanted to see what the world was like after the big fight. Later on, after you defeat the Demon Lord in the past, you help revive the Almighty. Sir Mervyn works with the Almighty in a new place called the Cathedral of Light near Estard. But then, he notices the Almighty is sealing away lands that are 'dark'. When he questions this, he's called a traitor and has to escape to Buccanham. He uses a special ability called MindSpeak to tell the Hero and the party that the Almighty is sealing away worlds, including Estard. He needs your help to awaken the four elemental spirits, but since you can't go anywhere, he realizes he needs to find the Guiding Light in Buccanham to help you all continue your quest.
