**Reginald**, also known as **Root Beer Reggie** is the owner of the Six Pint Inn and the orchestrator of the game plot to gather Lionel Snill's game characters as well as the Player and complete the ritual to enact revenge on his creator.

## Description

Reggie is a visibly older man with white receding hair and heavy wrinkles. His skin is slightly tinted purple. He wears a reddish-brown suit, a white button-up shirt, and a brown bow tie, as well as darker brown pants. He wears the same thing in his previous game, Root Beer Tender. He's always sitting in an old fashioned wooden wheelchair, his legs having been permanently destroyed by Irving.

## Story

Reginald is originally from Root Beer Tender, but Irving eventually came to destroy it to make it appear that Lionel Snill's first video game was Super Weasel Kid, saying that "Lionel wants this." When Reginald refused to leave, Irving attacked him, destroying his legs and the game. Due to this, Reginald now uses a wheelchair to get around.

Reginald, working alongside Jeremiah, gathered all of the playable characters from Lionel Snill's games and created a murder-mystery narrative involving the Player to open the Hex, an artifact capable of creating a rift between the real and video game worlds. It's implied he spent the rest of his life working on the plan after the fall of Root Beer Tender, as seen by the books in his cabin and the scrawlings found beneath his cabin in the secret room. Once the characters and Player are gathered, he recites incantations and the Hex opens, revealing a view of Lionel Snill sitting at his desk. Reginald reaches through the portal and chokes him, killing him.

## Personality

Reginald comes off as generally homely and kind to his "customers" (being the main 6 playable characters), though looking any deeper into him reveals he's a bit crazy, and this is especially confirmed at the very end of the game where his past is revealed, as he laughs manically along to the sound of his legs being broken. it slowly becomes apparent that he isn't really here to be a hospitable inn owner, but rather to complete his ritual and get revenge on Lionel. He get's his own customers names wrong or forgets them entirely, snaps at characters when they try to continue to talk to him instead of doing what he says, and is generally just a bit weird. This is further proven by some books he has in his cabin, of which almost reveal a timeline of his mental state; the first few are about root beer, then coercion, planting false memories, gaining trust, and then ancient rituals.

## Trivia

* In *Inscryption*, another game by Daniel Mullins, theres a chance of encountering a deathcard named Reginald that matches his appearance, also ironically containing the Touch of Death sigil.
* The in-universe inspiration of Reginald is from Lionel Snill's grandfather - Barry Reginald Wilkinson. This is revealed in the Beneath the Surface ARG.
	+ Barry is also a character of the *Inscryption* ARG and the *Inscryption* universe itself, having been the one to deliver the Karnoffel Code from Soviet Russia to Gamefuna.
* If you walk away from Reginald while he's speaking to you, he gets mad.
* The incantations that Reginald speaks in are actually a font called Elder Furthark, and can be translated. When opening the Hex, his first line translates to "Yo Mama." There's also writing in the secret room under the cabin that translates to "My next game is called Inscryption", and interesting bit of foreshadowing.
* Reginald is technically a playable character, as the player uses his perspective at the very beginning of the game, if briefly.
