Bagoas

Bagoas works as an attendant at The Harlequin after a lifetime of serving as a pleasure slave.

Appearance
Bagoas is described as graceful and willowy. His face is elegant, and had once been ‘as lovely as Ganymene’. However, he is also described as perpetually tired and drawn with dark circles under his eyes. He has long dark hair, which he wears in elaborate styles. His nails are long and lacquered. In addition, he regularly wears makeup on his eyebrows and around his eyes.

Bagoas is a eunuch.

Personality
Bagoas is devoted to his role as an attendant and is shown to be protective of the slaves at The Harlequin. He favours tough love, especially during the training of new slaves, although he does make allowances for those he feels closest to. He does not hesitate to involve himself if he believes one of the slaves to be in danger, and they see him as non threatening.

History
Bagoas was born in Baktria, and belonged to a training house there before being sold to a brothel. While working at the brothel, he was favoured by a client from Solas. The client later bought him and took him back to Lyonesse when he was called to Highcourt. After his owner married, he continued to visit Bagoas. He promised that once Bagoas could no longer serve him as a sex slave, he would find him another role in his household. However, he did not fulfill this promise, and Bagoas was sold to an auction house. He continued to work at a series of different brothels, before being deemed too old. He was then castrated so that he could work as an attendant at The Harlequin.

Luca
Bagoas has a particular soft spot for Luca. He does not stop Luca from keeping the books Sark gifts him, and attempts to protect him from a severe punishment after Robert runs away on Bacchanal. After noticing similarities between Luca's relationship with Robert and his own failed relationship, Bagoas tries to stop it.

Boq
Bagoas and Boq are both from Baktria. When Boq feels homesick, Bagoas speaks Baktrian with him.
