Sapio Cacklecast

Sapio is a terrible wizard who dabbles in entrepreneurial enterprise, tower decorating, and giving animals human form and sentience. He is described as having hair shaped like a stereotypical wizard's hat atop his head.

He claims to have invented bear-owls, and to have sent them back in time.

Sapio is responsible for Cygnana Cacklecast and Vern Cacklecast, who refer to him as their father.
