Maxim's descendant, or simply The Hero (主人公) is the main protagonist in Lufia & the Fortress of Doom, established as a descendant of the legendary hero, Maxim, and a childhood sweeetheart of Lufia. He doesn't have a default name; the player names him whatever they want.
Profile
Maxim's descendant started off as a knight of Alekea, but his life takes a dramatic turn when he is attacked by Gades following an investigation of a monster raiding incident in Sheran. The young hero proves no-match for the Sinistral, but Lufia appearing results in Gades letting him live.
Maxim's descendant spends the rest of the game searching for the Dual Blade in hopes of using it to defeat the Sinistrals, meeting Aguro and Jerin along the way. When he eventually finds it, Daos reveals to him that he let him live for the most the of the game to awaken the memories of Erim, who is revealed to be Lufia. Though The Hero denied that Lufia could be Erim, he eventually finds that Daos was telling the truth when Lufia awakens as Erim and takes the Dual Blade from him, which Daos breaks. Despite seeing that Lufia was Erim, The Hero still went on after her on Doom Island, and the Dual Blade fixed itself when he reached it. After he, Aguro and Jerin defeat Gades, Amon, and Daos, The Sinistrals attempt to fuse together, but the Lufia side of Erim awakens, so only Gades, Amon, and Daos fuse, forming Guard Daos.
After the combined Sinistrals are killed, Lufia urges the hero to kill her so that the Sinistrals can't revive, but he refuses. Doom Island sinks into the ocean again, but the hero finds that Lufia survived, but has amnesia. It's unknown what happened to them afterwards, but is implied he stayed with her, saying "We'll create new memories."

Being Maxim's decendant, he is shown simillar traits as him, especially a tendancy to engage into dangers. The Hero displays some pride in being descended from Maxim and tries his best to follow his footstep in saving the world from the Sinistrals.
Unlike most other anime-like characters in video games he's aware of his love interests feelings, Lufia, and has been dating each other for awhile. Though their relationships get rough at times due to both's stabborness and jealousy, it's clear they are both in love even without either of them confessing their feelings for each other in the game's events.
Gameplay
Maxim's descendant, in fashion typical with the main characters in a RPG game, is a well balanced character and sword user. At the start of the game, he is a physical oriented character while Lufia handles most of magical attack and healing.
The Hero, however, learns some powerful healing and supporting spells as he levels up, and eventually learns the most powerful healing spell Miracle.
