Is Professor Fig an Antagonist in Hogwarts Legacy?

Some players have theorized that the professor is actually a hidden antagonist of the game due to his ploy for secrecy amongst other teachers and various coincidences where he shows up at the opportune moment. However, despite this claim, Eleazar Fig is not a villain in Hogwarts Legacy but rather an ally that helps you throughout the storyline.

Of course, the teacher isn’t completely innocent since he continuously suggests you lie to the rest of the Hogwarts staff, as well as task you with secret missions that no one else can know about. Yet, players can still confide to students and teachers about their journey, and Fig won’t penalize them for doing so.

Eleazar will also accompany you on the final battle of Hogwarts Legacy and will prove helpful in multiple fights with his powerful spells. As for the true villain, the goblin Ranrok takes on this role, and you’ll need to complete several Keeper trials to defeat him and uncover his dark connection to Ancient Magic.
