The information here comes from the
Sabriel Trilogy by
Garth Nix. The books can be found in the young adult fantasy section of you local library or book store. If you have never heard of the
Sabriel Trilogy, I would suggest that you go read that node before proceeding with this one.
"I have a variety of names. You may call me Mogget. As to what I am, I was once many things, but now I am only several. Primarily, I am a servant of Abhorsen." -Mogget in
Sabriel by
Garth Nix.
Mogget is an ancient
free magic being bound to serve the
Abhorsen by the red leather collar of
charter magic and the
Necromancer’s bell around his neck. In the first book, he is bound by
Saraneth, the binder but in the last two he is bound by
Ranna, the
sleepbringer. When the collar is loosed, he must try to kill the
Abhorsen because only when he kills his captor can he truly be free.
Even though he is bound to obey the
Abhorsen’s orders, he generally tries to be as unhelpful as possible. Usually he appears as a little white cat with an odd shadow who needles his Master and mocks everyone who is around. He has also been seen in the books as an
albino dwarf and his freed form, a twisting body of white fire.
