Reginald

information

Reginald, also known as Reggie from Root Beer, is the owner of the Six Pints ​​and the mastermind behind the game's plot, which aims to gather the game characters Lionel Snill and the player and complete a ritual to take revenge on their creator.

description

Reggie is a noticeably older man with thinning gray hair and deep wrinkles. His skin has a slight purple tint. He wears a reddish-brown suit, a white button-down shirt, and a brown bow tie, along with dark brown pants. He dresses similarly to his previous game, Root Beer Man. He always sits in an old-fashioned wooden wheelchair, as Irving has permanently robbed him of the use of his legs.

story

Reginald originally came from Root Beer Tender, but Irving eventually decided to destroy him to make it seem like Lionel Snill's first video game was Super Weasel Kid, saying "Lionel wants this one." When Reginald refused to leave, Irving attacked him, damaging his legs and the game. Because of this, Reginald now uses a wheelchair. Reginald, working with Jeremiah, gathered all the playable characters from the Lionel Snill games and created a murderous plotline in which the player must discover the Conjuration, an artifact capable of creating a rift between the real world and the video game world. Judging by the books in his hut and the scribbles found in a secret room beneath his hut, he spent the rest of his life working on this plan after the fall of Root Beer. Once the characters and the player are gathered together, he casts the spells and a portal opens, revealing Lionel Snill sitting at a table. Reginald reaches through the portal and strangles him, killing him.

personality

Reginald generally seems simple and kind towards his "customers" (the main 6 playable characters), but dig deeper and it is revealed that he is a bit of a nutcase, and this is especially confirmed at the very end of the game when his past is revealed, with him laughing maniacally while his legs are breaking. It gradually becomes clear that he is not there to be a welcoming innkeeper, but to complete his ritual and get revenge on Lionel. He gets his customers' names wrong or forgets them entirely, snaps at characters when they try to continue a conversation with him instead of doing what he says, and generally acts a bit strange. This is further supported by some books he has in his cabin, which almost completely reveal the chronology of his mental state; the first few are about root beer, then coercion, planting false memories, gaining trust, and then ancient rituals.

little things

In Inscryption, another game by Daniel Mullins, there is a chance to encounter a Death card named Reginald, which matches his appearance and ironically contains the "Touch of Death" symbol. The inspiration for Reginald in the universe was Lionel Snill's grandfather, Barry Reginald Wilkinson. This is stated in the "Beneath the Surface" argument. Barry is also a character in the Inscryption ARG and the Inscryption universe itself. He is the one who delivered the Karnofel code from Soviet Russia to Gamefuna. If you leave Reginald while he is talking to you, he will become angry. The spells Reginald casts are actually written in Elder Furthark font and can be translated. When opening The Curse, his first line translates to "Yo, Mom." Reginald is technically a playable character, as the player uses his point of view at the very beginning of the game, albeit briefly. Reginald's voice is actually used in Incryption as the voice of the Dwarf Wolf card, as well as several characters in Daniel Mullin's Itch.io games. Reginald's wheelchair has only 2 wheels.
