## Appearances

### Debut

"PILOT"

**Kaufmo** was a resident of The Amazing Digital Circus. He debuted in the pilot episode, where it was revealed that he had abstracted. He is currently trapped in The Cellar.

## Appearance

Kaufmo was a noseless clown with white skin and black button eyes. He wore a plain yellow clown suit with a blue collar and red pom-pom buttons, with a matching party hat and white gloves. He had small triangular markings around his eyes and cartoonish red lips.
In his abstracted form, he is a black, rapidly glitching creature with four short, stubby legs and a long neck without a defined head, somewhat resembling of that to an Alpaca. His entire body is covered with various colorful eyes.

## Personality

Not much is known about Kaufmo's personality. According to the other characters, he liked to tell jokes, and became upset when the others didn't find them funny. In his reveal, Glitch Productions refers to him as "everyone's favorite jokester", which may imply that Ragatha was being honest when she said she found his jokes funny despite not laughing at them all the time.

In the pilot, it's revealed by Kinger that Kaufmo had been unstable as of late, unable to talk or think about anything other than an exit from the Circus. His instability reaches its peak when Ragatha, Jax, and Pomni discover he has abstracted.

## Relationships

### Ragatha

He seemed to have a bitter relationship with Ragatha, apparently because she never laughed at his jokes. Despite this, she tried to help him when she discovered he was abstracted.

### Jax

Kaufmo and Jax seem to have had an antagonistic relationship, with Jax frequently poking fun at him and calling him names. Rather than trying to help, Jax runs away when he discovers Kaufmo has abstracted.

### Gangle

Gangle seems to care about Kaufmo, as when she learned he had abstracted, she was surprised. Much like Ragatha, Gangle didn't laugh at his jokes which seemed to make their relationship sour as well.

## Biography

### "PILOT"

During the theme song to the show, Kaufmo's usual spot is filled in with a cardboard cut-out, as he's been refusing to leave his room.

Pomni, Jax, and Ragatha eventually go to check up on him, concerned about his lack of appearance and wanting Pomni to meet him. It's soon revealed that Kaufmo has abstracted in his room, having gone completely insane thinking about the exit. In his abstracted form, he goes on a rampage, violently attacking Ragatha and chasing Pomni through the Circus. After losing track of Pomni, he starts to notice the Gloinks running around the Circus and starts to pursue them instead. He successfully attacks several Gloinks, a red monkey from a monkey barrel, and eventually the Gloink Queen.

After Kinger is able to inform Caine that Kaufmo has abstracted, he proceeds to put him in the Cellar.

## Trivia

* Kaufmo's design was dropped a mere 48 hours before the pilot's release. Notably, he didn't show up during the MEET THE GANG promo video, even though he was a member of the cast before Pomni entered. This is likely because he had abstracted, so he was physically and mentally unable to show up for promotional material.
	+ Gooseworx joked that Jack Black voiced Kaufmo for zero lines.
	+ Gooseworx also mentioned that WizardWiz's improvised lines were discarded for being considered too offensive.
* Kaufmo makes a small cameo in Teaser, where his abstracted leg pokes out from his door when Caine struggles to switch backgrounds.
* As stated by Gooseworx on GLITCHX 2023, Kaufmo was originally going to be part of the main cast, but he was killed off after Jax was developed as she thought that it would've been too many characters.
	+ In the same AMA, Gooseworx stated that in the original plan, Kaufmo "was the same as Ragatha, in a sense, [in] that he was always friendly and happy and always goofing around." Kovach completed her answer, saying that he was a "very cheery, optimistic, toxic positivity kind of clown character."
* If Kaufmo hadn't been abstracted, Pomni possibly would have been good friends with him, though annoyed by his jokes.
