Personality
Bagup is a gruff old man. He doesn't like playing games and he's very serious about the well being of his son, Majic. Even if he lets him go adventuring with a shady loan shark.
History
When the story begins Bagup is running Bagup's Inn in a backalley of Totokanta. He spends most of his days tending to the bar and inadvertantly gossipping with the locals. It's actually Bagup that tells Vulcan where to find the party of sorcerers that were hunting the beast, and it's also his inn where Orphen lives at the time.
He has a single son, Majic. He finally agrees to let him travel with Orphen as his apprentice because the cost of hiring a more 'legit' black magic sorcerer would be more than he could afford. Even so, he had reservations about the whole idea, especially given that, despite Orphen supposedly being an all-powerful sorcerer, he was still working as a (failing) loan shark.
Assorted Facts
Details
• Bagup's name is usually rendered as Bugup. I opted to go with Bagup because it seemed as if the two parts were not pronounced quite the same. This is a personal preference, but Bugup is probably more standard at this point. When I started this site, there was not nearly as much new media to reference for it.
• Bagup used to help Orphen get clients for his money lending business.
