Role in Chronicles of The Heroic Knight
Parn once again serves as the protagonist for this series, but only for the first eight episodes. Presented in a different light, Parn is slightly stronger and has more skill in this series, which takes place approximately five years after the death of Ghim.
Parn is the one who peacefully befriends Shiris, but due to a mistake on what was taking place, her partner and best friend Orson attacks him in his berserker mode, trying to kill him. He nearly delivers a fatal blow, but like in the OVA, Shiris stops him from doing so.
Parn works with the other characters to uncover what the Marmo forces have been plotting, discovering that their intent is to acquire the Scepter of Domination. He assists Kashue with trying to prevent the sceptre from falling into the hands of Ashram, and also assists in the slaying of the red dragon Shooting Star.
At this point, Parn's role in the series becomes marginal, and he has hardly any screen time at all. After one final battle which ends in a stalemate, Parn and Ashram both agree to go their separate ways, with Ashram admitting that he is going to leave Marmo with the rest of his people to search for peace.

Famous quotes containing the words role in, role and/or heroic:
“Friends serve central functions for children that parents do not, and they play a critical role in shaping children’s social skills and their sense of identity. . . . The difference between a child with close friendships and a child who wants to make friends but is unable to can be the difference between a child who is happy and a child who is distressed in one large area of life.”
—Zick Rubin (20th century)
“The Declaration [of Independence] was not a protest against government, but against the excess of government. It prescribed the proper role of government, to secure the rights of individuals and to effect their safety and happiness. In modern society, no individual can do this alone. So government is not a necessary evil but a necessary good.”
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
“What passes for identity in America is a series of myths about one’s heroic ancestors. It’s astounding to me, for example, that so many people really seem to believe that the country was founded by a band of heroes who wanted to be free. That happens not to be true. What happened was that some people left Europe because they couldn’t stay there any longer and had to go someplace else to make it. They were hungry, they were poor, they were convicts.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
