List of Quest for Glory characters
The characters in Quest for Glory are fictional characters who appear in the Quest for Glory series of roleplaying graphical adventure games by Sierra Entertainment. The characters and related plot events are described, below, using the in-universe tone of the 5 Quest for Glory adventure games.
The Hero
The Hero is the protagonist and player character in Quest for Glory. During the character-creation process, the player is given the opportunity to name the Hero. If no name is given in game 1 (QFG1), his name defaults to "Unknown Hero" (or "Hero" in QFG5). The only known background is that he is the "Hero from the East", having left from an eastern village to become a hero. Only a few narrations offer any further mundane background, such as that he has an Aunt Helen, or that he received a tie on All Fool's Day.
Several names given to the character have been shown in screen shots in the game documentation: Brutus, Gonad the Barbarian, Dingleberry, Joker, Jester, and Wednesday.Quest for Glory: The Authorized Strategy Guide, an official strategy guide and novelization, written by Paula Spiese with Lori and Corey Cole, refers to him as Devon Aidendale and gives him a backstory. In the games, he is usually referred to by one of his titles, such as Hero of Spielburg. Apart from the name, the player may select the Hero's character class. Initially, the Hero can be either a fighter, wizard, or thief, but in the sequels, he can become a paladin (as well as a hybrid with abilities from other classes). Surprisingly the Hero's Journal that came with QFG4 confirms that the hero has the ability to use magic (his magic skills are being watched by his mentor Erasmus).
Aziza (African mythology)
The Aziza (African) are a type of beneficent supernatural race in West African (specifically, Dahomey) mythology. Living in the forest, they provide good magic for hunters. They are also known to have given practical and spiritual knowledge to people (including knowledge of the use of fire). The Aziza are described as little hairy people and are said to live in anthills and silk-cotton trees.
While the Aziza are usually described as a people, some traditions also refer to a single individual by name "Aziza", with similar traits. For example, Jeje oral tradition has a divinity called "Aziza" (described as a small, single-legged man smoking a pipe).
According to Ochuko Tonukari, Aziza is also a god of the Urhobo people of the Western Niger Delta of Nigeria.
