History[]
Original[]
Sardo is a supposed magician and owner of Sardo's Magic Mansion. He is strangely unaware that many of the items in his store are really magical, and this often leads to the problem in the story. A recurring joke is someone calls him "Mr. Sardo" and he responds with "That's Sar-DOH! No Mister, accent on the do!" Also, whenever someone enters the store, Sardo always asks whether or not they've seen the vomit. Also quite often he offers prices that are too expensive for the item(s) that a characters wishes to purchase. That is until he agrees to sell them for a slightly lower or often much cheaper price. With him saying his other famous quote "All right!, but I'm losing on the deal!"
