Master Wortlop is a minor antagonistic character in The Owl House. A supposed master healer who claims to have the power to rid multiple types of curses, Wortlop is actually a disguise of a gang of greedy gremlins seeking to scam witches into giving them snails.
Personality[]
Master Wortlop appears to be a kindly old witch with the ability to heal all sorts of ailments. He claims to have incredible healing powers, and he is willing to teach other witches who seek his knowledge provided they complete the quests he assigns. However, it is later revealed that Master Wortlop is actually a disguise for a gang of scheming gremlins who scam witches into buying their books and provide false cures that are more likely to injure than heal.
Background[]
A year before the events of the series, Gwendolyn Clawthorne approached Master Wortlop in hopes of learning his healing abilities to cure her daughter Eda of her curse. Wortlop agreed, but only if Gwendolyn managed to complete a series of dangerous quests. After successfully successfully obtaining the sacred items Wortlop requested, and visiting The Owl House, Gwendolyn takes Luz with her to meet Master Wortlop. While there, Wortlop pretends to perform his healing magic on a gremlin with itchy eyes. Gwendolyn gives Wortlop the sacred items in exchange for a tome containing his healing secrets, but before she leaves, Wortlop warns his pupil to keep the tome away from non-believers, lest they be blinded by the power it holds. In truth, this is to prevent objective readers from realizing that Wortlop's cures are nonsensical and sometimes even outright dangerous.
While attempting to cure Eda's curse, Gwendolyn starts reading the tome, only to realize she has to buy the next volume. Before she can do anything, Luz realizes that Gwendolyn has been scammed and tries to convince her, but Gwendolyn refuses to believe her. After seeing that Lilith has also been cursed, she kidnaps Eda, forcing Luz and King to go after them. Gwendolyn, denying that she has been scammed, returns to Wortlop. However, Gwendolyn soon finds out that Wortlop is not a powerful healer, but a group of gremlin scammers making up bogus cures for money. Gwendolyn realizes that Luz was right, confronts the gremlins, and threatens to have every beast in the forest come after them if they ever return to Bonesborough, sending them burrowing in terror.[1]
