MacGuffin is the first character met who uses the beggar actor.

The beggar is an actor type in Strife: Quest for the Sigil used for various NPCs and generic characters. The main group of beggars, referred to most often as the sewer mutants, lives in the sewers; they are ruled by their leader, Weran the Rat King. Others who are unaffiliated include MacGuffin, who lives in the "bum hole" in Tarnhill and a mysterious seemingly forgotten NPC who can be found in the Order Commons. Beggars have behavior mostly the same as that of the peasant, but with a more complex attack pattern: if damaged by the player, the beggar will begin swinging a broken bottle he carries in the air, sometimes repeatedly until the player leaves his line of sight or until a random chance places him back into his active wandering state. He will not keep up his grudge after this outburst is over.

Beggar actors

There are five different beggar actors with mostly identical properties. These exist so that multiple conversation IDs can be used in dialogue scripts, allowing for a variety of characters with the same appearance to co-exist on the same levels.
