Description
Iguin is a witch belonging to the Brimmed Caps, a group of rogue magic users who oppose the laws that forbid certain types of magic. Iguin is the individual who gave the young girl Coco a mysterious magical picture book and pen, an act that directly leads to the inciting incident of the story where Coco’s mother is turned to stone. Iguin’s true appearance is never fully revealed, as their entire body and face are perpetually concealed beneath clothing, a long cloak, and a distinctive mask. Their build appears average, but they possess remarkable dexterity and agility, able to perform acrobatic feats and complex jumps while casting spells.
The personality of Iguin is shrouded in mystery and enigma. They speak in cryptic terms, frequently referencing a prophecy and referring to Coco as a child of hope or a savior. Iguin firmly believes that forbidden magic should be brought back into the world and actively works towards that end. When interacting with allies, particularly another Brimmed Cap named Sasaran, Iguin can display a quick and intense anger if their ideas are challenged or opposed. This suggests a fiercely determined and potentially volatile nature beneath their calm exterior.
Iguin’s primary motivation revolves around Coco. They deliberately gave her the forbidden spellbook, viewing her as a seed that was planted and has now sprouted. Iguin rarely appears directly in the story, preferring to observe and interfere from the sidelines, testing Coco and pushing her towards using forbidden magic. Their role in the narrative is that of a catalyst and a manipulator from the shadows, seeking to overthrow the established magical order and seeing Coco as the key to reintroducing forbidden magic into everyday life. In one confrontation, Iguin traps Coco and her friends in an illusory labyrinth, insisting that the only way to save a cursed companion is to draw forbidden magic.
Key relationships are central to Iguin’s function in the story. Their most significant connection is to Coco, whom they continuously tempt and fixate upon. Iguin also has a working relationship with Sasaran, another member of the Brimmed Caps, though it is marked by Iguin’s irritation when Sasaran acts independently. Furthermore, there is a deep, mysterious link between Iguin and the witch Qifrey, Coco’s teacher. Qifrey harbors a personal vendetta against the Brimmed Caps, and signs point to a possible connection between Iguin and Qifrey’s past, with some suggesting Iguin may be a being grown from Qifrey’s lost eye, creating a symbolic opposition between the two characters.
The character is slow to develop as they remain largely hidden, but their influence is a constant pressure on the protagonist. Iguin is the architect of Coco’s initial tragedy and continues to be a source of temptation, representing the dangerous allure of unrestricted power. In terms of abilities, Iguin is incredibly powerful, wielding magic that goes beyond the scope of normal witches. They specialize in forbidden magic, which involves drawing spells directly on the human body to alter it. Iguin demonstrates the ability to cast the Illusory Labyrinth to trap others, and uses a specific forbidden spell to transform the character Euini into a monstrous Scaled Wolf by placing a magical collar on him. Their skill and knowledge of these prohibited arts make them a formidable and persistent threat.
