Bogho

Bogho is the Head Elder of Passaj. He is a descendant of the Exathi smiths of Passaj. He is Baghi's grandfather.

He knows about how the Alchemy Forge in Passaj is supposed to work in theory. When Matthew's group starts it up with Fire-based Psynergy, he reveals that in order for the machine to be controlled, the Sol Mask is needed to be inserted into the machine, and this object is hidden inside the Ouroboros dungeon underneath Kaocho. He also knows of the king of the allied nation of Ayuthay, Paithos, whose city has another Alchemy Machine called the Alchemy Well, and how the Alchemy Well's suddenly starting up twenty years ago was the cause of the kingdom's explosive growth.

Quotes

 * In Passaj (first visit):
 * Bogho: "Who has tampered with the Alchemy Forge?! Who are you intruders?! Tell me at once! If you're with those terrible soldiers...don't bother trying to strong-arm me or my people! I may look old, but I'm a descendant of the ancients! Passaj will never cave to you outsiders! We descendants of the Exathi will band together! So I'll speak with the Ayuthay king-but not yours!"


 * Tyrell: "What are you looking at, gramps?"
 * Bogho: "GRAMPS?! I'm an elder of Passaj! Call me that...or by my name, Bogho! Anything else is disrespectful!"


 * Tyrell: "What does it say?"
 * Bogho: "What? It couldn't be clearer! It says what it says!"
 * Rief: "You'll have to forgive our ignorance. It simply looks like a curious design to us."
 * Karis: "It all means something?"
 * Bogho: "My, my... For Adepts, it seems that you know less than I'd expect."


 * Karis: "Do you think that the Kaocho soldiers are trying to get their hands on the Alchemy Forge?"
 * Bogho: (If Matthew responds with anger) "The very notion makes me seethe too!"


 * In Passaj (second visit)
 * Bogho: "How I yearned for adventure when I was young. When I was your age, all my dear friends left Passaj and scattered to the winds... Before I knew it, only i was left to bear the burden of the head Elder, helping Passaj through its dark days. If only I could have gotten our Alchemy Forge working... Ah, sorry. My mind has wandered. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for helping my people. But I can't leave it at mere gratitude. We must find a suitable reward for those who restored Passaj's fortunes. I open our vault to you. Our new future is worth more than any treasure!"
 * Amiti: "We mustn't turn down his offer, friends. His pride as Elder would be hurt."
 * Bogho: "Now, if you'll pardon an old man... I'll leave you to YOUR future."


 * Baghi: "The clouds from our fiery forge must be too hot and misty! They need to be cooled down and made more substantial somehow!"
 * Bogho: "Indeed, young ones. And our legends may again serve you."
 * Tyrell: "Hey, it's gramps!" / Baghi: "Please tell us, gramps!"
 * Bogho: "Baghi! Don't ever call me that!"


 * Bogho: "I suspect that the ancient world was far stranger than we can imagine..."


 * In Passaj (third visit):
 * Bogho: "There is seemingly nothing these brave warriors can't do!"
