Rapper Begol
Saxophonist and victim of the V.U.E. (Violent Unknown Even) that affected 19 million humans in Peter Greenaway's bizarre yet charming 1980 film The Falls. The film profiles, documentary-style, 92 individuals affected by the event. The event caused random people to develop bird-like desires and mutations, speak new languages, have recurring dreams involving water, and occasional immortality.
He is mentioned in the biography of Allia Fallanx, and turns up in at least one other biography.
Allia Fallanx is presently the fourth Custodian of the Boulder Orchard, the generally recognised geographical epicentre of the Violent Unknown Event. The Boulder Orchard's first permanent Custodian was H. E. Carter, painter, film-maker, banjo-player, hydronomist and indexer. The second Custodian was Rapper Begol, photographer, embryologist, saxophonist, fire-watcher and writer of Egg-Tales. The third Custodian was Catuso Phelpis, singer and ornithological registar.
He is not a rapper.
