Nippon Ichi Software has released new information for The Wicked King and the Noble Hero re-introducing the King Dragon and protagonist Yuu, as well as introducing some of the friends players will encounter on their adventure.
Get the details below.
■ Main Characters
King Dragon (Overlord)
Yuu’s foster parent and king of monsters. Although once feared by the people as the wicked Overlord, he has since turned over a new leaf and even secretly lends aid to humans. He is helping Yuu train to become a noble hero like her father.
Yuu (Protagonist)
The child of the late Hero. A human girl who every night hears stories of the adventures of her father, the Hero, from the King Dragon and longs to become a hero like him. But she is unaware that the King Dragon, her foster parent, was the Overlord that her father once battled.
■ The Friends Who Will Adventure Alongside You
Conco
A snow fox who lives on “Ice-Moon Hill.” A boy with many siblings and devoted to his family. He meets Yuu during a time his family is facing a crisis.
Sacasa
A servant of the easily elated King Dragon. He can be quite outspoken, but it often backfires. He admires the former King Dragon, who was the powerful and great Overlord. He is skilled at knife juggling.
Flora
Princess of the human nation. Since her people were once attacked by the Overlord, she wonders if there is anything she can do as even now they remain frightened by his revival.
