[edit] Character biography
Fenoglio is the author who wrote the fictional novel Inkheart. He lives in a small village in Italy, and often babysits his three grandchildren, Paula, Pippo and Rico, who he loves dearly.
As the original author of Inkheart, Fengolio has the power to change the story, which he does by writing new parts. He helped Meggie Folchart when they were both taken captive by writing a new coda in which Capricorn and his monster servant, The Shadow, are killed. This was then read aloud by Meggie and her father, Mortimer, turning fiction into reality.
On the night of Capricorn's death, Fenoglio is accidentally transported into the world which he created, where he goes on to make a living as a poet. He purchases a glass man named Rosenquartz, who sleeps on Fenoglio's writing desk, and helps him ink his quills. He becomes court poet to Cosimo the Fair after Meggie reads the once-dead prince out of the paper he wrote for her.
