Bo is the master mariner of the world and a character in the Life and Adventures of Santa Claus.
Background[]
Bo the Master Mariner is in charge of all the world's oceans. He's also one of Ak's brothers and a member of the Council of Immortals. He can help in deciding if Santa Claus should live forever or not with his brothers, Ak and Kern, and the other Immortals. Bo doesn't let anything or anyone stop him, just like his fellow masters. He also won't let anyone do damage to his oceans or bring harm to his sea creatures.
Bo appears as a slender immortal man with a long, green fishtail beard and an octopus tentacle mustache. He wears an aquamarine robe, blue shoes, a blue belt with a crab belt buckle, and a seahorse hat on his head. He also wields a trident since he lives underwater.
Appearance[]
In the movie when Santa is about to die, Ak summons Bo and the other Immortals for a council. After the Master Woodsman explains about Santa Claus, the Immortals, including Bo, take a vote agreeing that the toymaker should live forever just like them.
Just as the Spirit of Death is about to take Santa, the Immortals show up just in time to prevent it from happening and Ak bestows the Mantle of Immortality upon Santa. The next day, Santa thanks Ak and the other Immortals for making him one of them as he promises to work harder than ever before. Soon, Bo returns to his duties and is not seen again for the ending.
