{{IS_A=Character}} {{Name=Balthazar Belloptrix}} {{Gender=Neuter}} {{Source=Comic}} {{Description=A small boy, associated with the [[Circus]]. According to the [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/info/cast/everybody.php cast list], he spins plates and juggles. We don't actually know that his last name is Belloptrix -- that's a presumption based on his mother's name. His mother is [[Trish]]; his father (who plays [[Punch]] in the show) seems, so far, to just be "Balthazar's Daddy". (That's the way he is listed in the cast list.) Daddy describes the Circus (v4, p11) as "just passing through, like cheap beer". Daddy was a smith for the Gilded Duke (v4, p69), and was given "Smilin' Stev", an apparently strong but simple menial Clank, as back pay. (Stev is actually a pretty nasty Warclank, as we see on (v4, p85).) Daddy plays Punch as "big and slow and stupid" (v4, p69), and does so quite intentionally (v5, p41); what does [[Adam]] feel about that? He thinks (v4, p10-11) that [[Agatha]] and [[Krosp]] are "show people".}} {{History=He was (v4, p10) the first member of the Circus who [[Agatha]] encounters, when she is lost in the forest.}} {{Potential=Poor}} {{Faction=Circus}} {{Picture=Good shots on (v4, p10-11).}}
