Character · Book 5, The Butcher's Masquerade

Chaco

Host of the Prize Carousel: a winged, wolf-headed Song Bard, level 66, 'giver-of-prizes, slayer of gods, former Crawler champion,' in a checkered leisure suit. Mordecai throws a chair at him on sight. 'I was just doing what his manager told me to do. If I hadn't done it, he'd have died. And then we'd all have lost her. We'd have lost Odette.'

Arc

Behind the prize counter (ch. 66), in metallic armour, no longer the game-show host: he will not say why Mordecai hates him, only that he regrets it every day and that they would all have died, and that the place makes you turn on your own party in the end (ch. 69). He teleports out the moment the seal breaks (ch. 74).
