A mischievous sprite who serves Evil Sorceress Lillith Blackthorn. His devotion to Blackthorn and her treachery comes above all else. He would like nothing more than for his mistress to return and bring an end to the world as we know it.

Using the thinning of the veil between worlds and the extra dark magic he can generate through this, Grumplefoot has escaped, grown in size and masterminded the release of the other villains, bringing them to his lair to carry out his plan and ensure the end of good magic by infiltrating the various venues of The Hole In Wand.
In the early 1600s, when good people under suspicion of witchcraft were being vilified, imprisoned and executed, Wraithswisper conducted some very dubious experiments on the magic folk of Blackpool and the surrounding areas, looking to steal souls and bestow life everlasting upon himself. For his crimes, The Wizard’s Guild decreed he be entrapped within an orb in the depths of Lancaster Castle alongside his accomplices, Naylor the Unseen and Wilson Shadowveil. More recently, he has found a way to inhabit the body of a cat and spread a mysterious illness, Wraith’s Grasp, throughout the magical community. When summoned by Grumplefoot, he didn’t hesitate at the opportunity to cause further devastation in league with his fellow villains.

Bollingbrake is glad to be free from the confines of his portrait this Halloween, looking to cause chaos and bring an end to Wizard Golf.
