Hrothgar is the owner, proprietor, and barman of the Purple Pig.

Background[]

Rosella hired him to cook the food for the Harvest Festival. He helped battle the Sloks and Weevils. Though most of the food she procurred for the Harvest Festival was eaten by the sloks or the weevils, the plans were changed and the castle kitcheners prepared slok eggs at the festival instead, which was kept in the castle that year.[1]

Behind the scenes[]

Although there is very little in common with the characters, the name Hrothgar comes from a famous character King Hrothgar from the Anglo-Saxon epics Beowulf, and Widsith, and other Danish literature.
