Rook is an NPC in Dragon's Dogma.
"Our fealty is sworn to you, Arisen."
Description[]
Rook is a Pawn who joins the Arisen during the quest Upon a Pawn.
He is the first pawn the Arisen meets, and appears as the Arisen attempts to exit the main gate of Cassardis, being summoned from the nearby Riftstone. From there he acts as a guide, leading them to the Riftstone at The Encampment, and to the test of the quest Call of the Arisen.
As a Mage, Rook can heal, enchant weapons with fire, and cast Ingle.
If he happens to die to the Brine or is knocked unconscious during the quests Upon a Pawn and Call of the Arisen, he will continue to appear next to the Arisen whenever they move to different areas (after a loading screen) up until the Main pawn was created. After completing Call of the Arisen, he can be dismissed. Once dismissed, he may be summoned again in the Rift.
Equipment[]
Rook uses the following equipment:
- Brigandine Jerkin [Torso]
- Cotton Hosen and Dusk Shoes [Leg clothing and armor]
- Scholar's Cape [Cloak]
- Ironclad Staff [Staff]

Trivia[]
- Rook's voice actor (voice 4) is Keith Silverstein. (IMDb link) who also has voiced Zhongli in Mihoyo's Genshin Impact, as well as numerous characters in Bethesda Game Studios's Skyrim including Nazeem the condescending Redguard.
- Rook is a level 6 Mage. He will likely be the Arisen's first introduction to the concept of certain creatures being weak to fire, but not the last.
- Rook's name is derived from a rook, a chess piece. This play on words is a reference to the fact that he is a Pawn, which is also a type of chess piece.
- During the cutscene that plays after the player chooses their Main Pawn's vocation, his voice is different from his in-game voice.
- Rook has 'plot armor' until completing Call of the Arisen - so that even if he becomes Unconscious and returns to the rift he will always be 'resurrected' (but still unconcious) on entering a new area or region.
- While it's possible it could be a different character a character in Dragons Dogma II named Rook looks quite similar to Rook from Dragons Dogma. It could very possibly be the same character though.
