Bacchus, the God of Revelry, is an old acquaintance of Josh Hoberman who organizes wild parties where magicians and other magical creatures are allowed if they amuse him.
History[]
Bacchus was once a human magician and a member of the Library. He along with Iris, Aengus, and Heka became gods after splitting apart the Sister, stealing her power, and binding it into stones that they placed in their bodies. Bacchus was previously acquainted with the Titan Prometheus, an advocate for humanity, before the Titan's eventual death.
After the Plumber severed the connection to the Wellspring, Bacchus was visited by Josh Hoberman, Quentin Coldwater, and Julia Wicker at one of his parties. However, he initially denied Julia and Quentin access, telling them to come back once they were "more fun". After the two drank and performed a dance they'd made up years ago, Bacchus decided to allow them in.
Once inside, Julia and Quentin joined the deity, intending to question him on the disappearance of magic everywhere, but Bacchus wasn't interested in talking.
Bacchus later resurfaced in Fillory, increasing the opium in its air and creating parties while posing as Ember. There he is drugged by Josh and given to Nameless, who rips out the stone organ that gives him his power, killing him.
Personality[]
Bacchus is an exuberant and outgoing god, always ready to revel and free the wilder side of his the guests at his renowned parties. He is not very interested in problems afflicting the magical community, nor does he seem to be particularly inclined to hang out with the Old Gods. On the other hand, Bacchus loves all sorts of excesses and the key to capturing his interest is being "fun".
