Story[]

Specter of Torment[]

In the Tower of Fate, small creatures gather around a glass jar while holding pieces of Manny's outfit. They seek for Specter Knight to donate gold to their vessel. After Specter Knight donates three separate offerings of 800 gold, Manny is born, and he offers Specter Knight a collection of cloaks to purchase from.

In the second flashback stage, at the same location where Manny usually resides, there are some similar small creatures in that room, the potential precursor of Manny. They flee when Donovan comes close.

During the ending, if Manny was given enough gold to appear, he will be in the line of monsters waiting to be paid by Treasure Knight. If not, only two small creatures will be there.

Trivia[]

  • Manny shares his sprite model and portrait with Legion, the model being named "Tower Salesman". They use different color palettes, which are named "Shadow Salesman" in the game's files.
  • Manny's name is a play on the word "many" as he is made up of "many" smaller creatures. His name and Legion's name are a reference to the Biblical passage Mark 5:9, whereas Jesus Christ of Nazarene meets a being in the valley of shadows, and upon asking its name, the being responds with, "My name is Legion, for we are many."[2]
  • Myriad, the Mysterious Costume Salesperson of Pocket Dungeon, is another being made out of the same shadowy figures found inside Manny and Legion.[3]
