Flanagan, a retired broomstick riding instructor at Endor College, oversees broom maintenance and care. A spastic yet kind figure, he steps in during crucial moments—taming a rogue broom, delivering it mid-escape, and mending it with a decorative bow—demonstrating both his responsibility toward the brooms and a gruffly compassionate nature.

His status as the sole speaking anthropomorphic animal sparks curiosity about his origins, though his past remains unexplained. Some speculate he may be the product of transformation experiments or a dedicated member of the college’s support staff, though neither theory is confirmed. Though his role is minor, it proves pivotal, prioritizing hands-on aid over engagement in the central conflict.

He frequently scolds those neglecting broom upkeep, yet his timely interventions reveal a deeply rooted kindness. Physically, he sports facial hair and a hat, befitting his caretaker role. He remains unchanged throughout, functioning as a narrative tool to advance crucial plot points without personal growth.
