Portrayed by Jim Broadbent

Fenoglio is the grandfather of Rico, Pippo, and Paula. He is also the author of the book Inkheart, and ends up getting trapped inside the book itself. He starts re-writing the story his own way, bringing devastating events upon the residents of the Inkworld, if not upon himself, Mo, Meggie, Resa, Dustfinger, and the others. In Inkdeath Fenoglio stops writing because he believes it only brings bad luck upon him.

Physical Appearance[]

Dyed black hair originally, though in the film it is gray.

Personality[]

Confident and tends toward vanity where his characters are concerned. He can talk about his books forever and takes a ridiculous sense of pride when he ends up in his own book, just busting with pride as he shows Meggie around what he considers his world. Loves his grandchildren. Can be gruff and grumpy, but is really sympathetic and nice. He is very frustrated when he can't write though, and gets very talkative when consuming and after consuming wine.

Relationships[]

Meggie Folchart[]

Helps Meggie kill Capricorn and save her father as well as come up with a plan to kill the Adderhead.

Mortimer Folchart[]

Mo comes to Fenoglio for help when he is finally freed from Capricorn's clutches for the first time (though he gets re-captured), and asks if there are any copies of Inkheart in Fenoglio's home. Fenoglio says he has none, and ends up being captured by Capricorn himself because of his endless wanting to see his own characters, even if they were the villains and could easily kill him.

Inkheart characters[]

The characters that appear are slightly in awe and fear Fenoglio, since without him, they wouldn't exist. Even Capricorn is slightly tense around him.

Resa[]

Resa comes for him in Inkdeath, begging him to try and write her, Meggie, and Mo back to the real world. After failing, Resa becomes upset with him.
