Olruggio

オルーギオ

Olruggio serves as the Watchful Eye for Qifrey's atelier. He speaks in a gruff manner, yet his magic is frequently described as "warm."
He has constructed numerous contraptions, including the Glowstone Path, the Snugstone, and the Searneedle Wand, among others, earning him a reputation among fellow witches for his inventions.
Although he initially appears blunt and harsh, Olruggio is genuinely kind and caring. He tends to Qifrey and the atelier's students, creating magical items to aid their sleep and assisting the students with their magic.
This kindness extends beyond those Olruggio knows personally; he assists local villagers so often that the nobility of those villages and cities take notice and appear almost jealous. Olruggio's benevolence toward others leads him to question the laws of witch society, particularly those prohibiting witches from practicing medicine or introducing non-witches to magic. When his warm actions are mentioned, he attempts to dismiss them as something anyone would do or merely part of his duties as a Watchful Eye.
Olruggio is notoriously poor with deadlines and overworks himself, staying up late to complete commissions. He is often tired and sometimes appears haggard with dark circles under his eyes. Due to these habits, he occasionally sleeps on the atelier's couch, oversleeps, or misses events. Despite this, he emphasizes the importance of sleep to Qifrey's apprentices.
He is easily flustered and lies about disliking praise. While he initially loudly objected to the girls calling him their professor, he stops complaining about it as the story progresses, only occasionally telling others that they are not his pupils.

Spoiler

During his time as an apprentice in the Great Hall, Olruggio meets Qifrey, and the two become fast friends. Olruggio assists Qifrey with his investigations into the Brimmed Caps and later helps him conquer the Tower of Tomes, though he does not manage to enter the library himself. Eventually, the two move out of the Great Hall and into Qifrey's Atelier. Olruggio helps Qifrey find his apprentices and is present during their first encounter with Richeh.
Brushbuddy is fond of him. He is seen playing with the creature, which also climbs on him and rocks around happily when he returns to the Great Hall.
According to a sketch page by Shirahama Kamome, Olruggio enjoys strong yet sweet alcoholic drinks.
The diamond design featured on Olruggio's cap is also worn by many other Ghodrey citizens, such as a younger Utowin and his father.
Olruggio uses the rough-sounding, Japanese male pronoun 俺 (ore)
