Egyptian Bendy is one of the three legendary Guardians of the Homeland, a small but incredibly wealthy land blessed with peace, fertile lands, and abundant resources. Alongside Boris and Alice, he protects the people and ensures the prosperity of their nation.
Unlike the respected Boris or the admired Alice, Bendy is often misunderstood. He appears playful, carefree, and eccentric, leading many people to underestimate him. Children love him, animals follow him, and he spends much of his time joking, telling stories, and wandering among the people. Because of this, few realize that he is actually the strongest of the three guardians.
Bendy possesses ancient black magic and a deep connection to nature. He can command the elements, communicate with animals—especially snakes—and influence others through his voice and presence. Despite these frightening abilities, he is kind-hearted and prefers solving problems peacefully rather than through force. He hides his wisdom and power behind a smile, believing that true strength should protect rather than intimidate.
When a corrupt minister named Seranat-Hur poisoned the Homeland's waters, a deadly disease spread throughout the land, killing countless people. As the guardians failed to find a cure, the people gradually lost faith in them, splitting the nation into supporters and enemies of the guardians. During this turmoil, Seranat-Hur and foreign armies launched an invasion to seize the Homeland's riches.
In the final battle, Boris and Alice sacrificed themselves defending their people. Left alone, Bendy unleashed the full extent of his ancient power, destroying the invading forces with the last strength of his fallen friends. When the battle ended, both the enemy and Bendy had vanished, leaving only legends behind.
Many believe he died. Others believe he became one with the Homeland itself.
Years later, after Dr. Kahl accidentally creates an unstable time machine, Cuphead and Mugman are sent into the past. Determined to save the legendary guardians and prevent the tragedy that destroyed the Homeland, they set out to change history before Boris, Alice, and Bendy meet their fated end.
