| - Oggie has a quiet cunning, but prefers to clown around. Acting like a fool is more fun--and, to a lesser extent, it's really good for getting people to underestimate you. He also just plain enjoys being silly. He has his moments of legitimate dimness, however, so how much is real and how much is part of his act is hard to tell. He's enthusiastic about pretty much everything he does. He's full of energy, and has a very real love of being alive. He's boisterous and loves roughhousing, but can still be very sweet.
- Ognian, aka Oggie, is one of the three "wild" Jägermonsters who help Agatha and friends in all manner of combat situations (combat, after all, being what Jägermonsters are good for). Ognian is the one with relatively normal flesh tones, a single curled horn on the left side of his head, and feet which consist of two rather large and clawed toes each. Ognian therefore does not wear shoes. He does, however, wear a snazzy fez. Introduced [ here] [[Chronology - Volume #|✣ ]], as Master Payne's Circus of Adventure gets ready for a performance in the town of Zumzum.

| - Ognian, aka Oggie, is one of the three "wild" Jägermonsters who help Agatha and friends in all manner of combat situations (combat, after all, being what Jägermonsters are good for). Ognian is the one with relatively normal flesh tones, a single curled horn on the left side of his head, and feet which consist of two rather large and clawed toes each. Ognian therefore does not wear shoes. He does, however, wear a snazzy fez. Introduced [ here] [[Chronology - Volume #|✣ ]], as Master Payne's Circus of Adventure gets ready for a performance in the town of Zumzum. In battle, Ognian uses a rather unique weapon: a triple-poleaxe. In addition to hewing body parts in twain, Ognian also uses the polearm as a quarter-staff to ward off blows, as a launching-pad for his fellow Jägers to jump off of, and as a vaulting pole to get over obstacles. Pretty handy, no? Given that Dimo is known for his good nose, and Maxim is known for his good ears, Ognian might have the best eyesight of Da Boyz. Another possibility, given Oggie's relatively normal skin tone and the fact that he passes the telescope to Jenka for more detailed visual analysis of what's going on over in Mechanicsburg from the watchtower, is that Jenka actually has the best eyes, and Oggie has the best sense of touch. It would also explain why he [ opened] [[Chronology - Volume #|✣ ]] the Sneaky Gate that's presumably hidden to all other senses and whose location can't be predicted, why he's popular with "de vimminz," and gives a better explanation why he hugs Agatha in the scene where the Jäger are asking her permission to go along with Master Payne's plan to travel through Sturmhalten without incident. In personality, Ognian is one of the more lighthearted and carefree of the Wild Jägers, much more so than Dimo, whose responsibility makes him more serious, and Maxim, who hides a philosopher's soul under a facade of chivalry. Of the three Jägers, he is probably also the most interested in vimmin, and the only one to have sired descendants that we know of.

He's enthusiastic about pretty much everything he does. He's full of energy, and has a very real love of being alive. He's boisterous and loves roughhousing, but can still be very sweet. He's pretty good at "sveet-talking de vimmin". He's a ladies' man, and has two steady girlfriends back in Mechanicsburg. He's very loyal to his family and friends. He's a social creature, and seeks to be part of a group. Once given, it is possible to lose his loyalty again--but you'd have to do something really really awful. That said, he can be vicious in a fight. If things get more serious than just horsing around, it might be a good idea to back off and let him calm down. He's pragmatic. If say, presented with a limb that needed removing, he'd chop it off without hesitation or flinching. Some things just got to be done, yanno? No reason to get squeamish about it. He believes in doing want needs doing, whether or not it's easy, nice, or "fair". He does aim for all three of those things, but he doesn't consider any of them necessary, by any means. He's fiercely attached to this funny-looking fez he won in a fight, and wears it almost constantly.
