History

Fight hard, Riou. Bolgan fight hard too. —  Bolgan

Bolgan was a young man with a unique circus act as a fire-breather. He previously belonged to a circus where he learned how to wield a Fire Breath Rune. However, due to constant bullying and mistreatment, Bolgan decided to run away from the circus. With the help of Eilie, he was able to escape and set off on a journey alongside Rina and Eilie, who treated him as a brother.

Their travels led them to Ryube Village in the City-State of Jowston, where they encountered the hero. To navigate the treacherous North Sparrow Pass, Bolgan and his sisters joined forces with the hero temporarily. Afterward, they reunited with the hero in Coronet Town and chose to become members of the New State Army.

Bolgan was granted a position in the hero's Royal Guard, and he expressed a desire for the hero to join their circus troupe. He also developed a keen interest in learning and spent much time studying at the local library. He was a kind and empathetic soul, friendly to all. He also noticed Eilie's crush on the hero.

Following the conclusion of the Dunan Unification War, Bolgan returned to traveling with the circus troupe while continuing his studies. The troupe's journey eventually brought them to Milit Village, where Bolgan played a crucial role in helping Nash Latkje and others fend off a raid orchestrated by the fraudulent Fire Bringer.
