Hoggle
Name: Hoggle
Race: Dwarf
Job: Gatekeeper (His job appears to be to watch the gate to the Labyrinth and keep the fairies from getting too populous.)
Background:
Hoggle is a cowardly dwarf-goblin that works for Jareth, but becomes loyal to Sarah. Hoggle is irritated when Jareth pronounces his name wrongly, which he appears to do deliberately to annoy Hoggle.
Against his own wishes, Hoggle gives Sarah a peach as a gift from Jareth, who again threatens to dump him in the Bog of Eternal Stench if he does not do so. When Sarah loses her way as a result of being induced into a deep sleep by the peach, which subsequently causes Sarah to temporarily lose her memory, Hoggle is unable to cope with his feelings of guilt and remorse, and becomes estranged from Sarah.
At the entrance to the Goblin city, when Sarah, Ludo, and Sir Didymus are under attack from the guardian - a goblin in a towering suit of armour, Hoggle risks his life to save them. Hoggle is commended for his bravery by Sir Didymus and Ludo, whereas Sarah forgives him for his earlier mistake.
Hoggle is back to the Labyrinth to keep his old duty as the Gatekeeper to watch the gate and keep the fairies' population.
