Begg Garrott

Begg Garott is an alchemist who was granted immortality aboard the Advenna Avis.

Personality
Although he is immortal and does not feel the effects of his drugs anymore, Begg enjoys creating drugs to induce happiness. In the early 1700s, he spoke very quickly without pausing for breath; however, by the time he became immortal, his speech slowed dramatically. Now, he pauses after every syllable.

1932: Drugs and the Dominos
His story begins with a brief conversation with Maiza Avaro regarding his distribution of illegal drugs in the city, which was causing a major inconvenience. He speaks about their powers and thanks Maiza for not eating him, forcing the former alchemist / camorrista to chastise the drug maker for ever thinking that way. The Martillos create a temporary truce with the Runoratta's to prevent drug trades from occuring, creating friction between Begg and Gustavo, who saw great profits in the business.

He is partly responsible for Roy Maddock and Edith's strained relationship as he was the one who forced the young man to engage in drugs of his own making, since Roy's unique physiology to take a large dose of his unique drugs would prove vital in his intentions of spreading happiness. In this era, he is an associate of the Runoratta family and has been in their care for quite some time. It was eventually revealed he actually hired Czeslaw to deliver bombs to the crime family for Gustavo's nefarious intentions against The Gandors and Martillos, however the events of The Flying Pussyfoot had made Czes change his mind and actually gave the bombs to Jacuzzi Splott and Nice Holystone for them to sell to Hollywood's Special Effects studios. He pardons Czes after meeting him sometime later, also revealing familial ties with the young immortal.

He spends most of the story looking for a black bag containing his latest drugs which were stolen by Roy, eventually locating the young gangster with his lover and threatened to kill Edith if Roy did not take his dose. Roy chooses an alternative and attempts suicide, Begg, finding no more use for the young junkie and realizing the errors of this experiment, leaves the couple to return back to his crime family.

In 2002, a vegetative Begg is kept at an unknown mental institution, having far lost his ability to speak or think after the loss of the Runoratta's mob boss. Maiza and Czes oversees his transfer and tells Maiza in a rare moment that he is grateful that he was not yet consumed by the immortal.
