Wadagan
Role: man · First appears: Tale 24
In Tale 24, Wadagan was married to Dolimáman. At midday, he pricked her finger with a thorn, and Kanag Kabagbagowan popped out. Not long after, Wadagan abandoned Kanag on a raft in the river, then told Dolimáman he did not know where their son was.
Unable to find his family in their golden house, Wadagan made a balaua. At Nagbotobotán, Kanag rejected him, saying, “I don't like you, for you sent me away.” Wadagan returned home, while Dolimáman, Kanag, and Dagoláyan stayed in Nagbotobotán.
