[edit] Backstory
Elmo Vohaul Pug[1] was the head of ScumSoft, a subsidiary of Vohaul Enterprises, an illicit software development company forming the front for the Pirates of Pestulon. Sludge Vohaul was his great-great-grand-clone. Among his crimes were capturing the Two Guys From Andromeda and forcing them to write bad software titles such as Astro Chicken. His great-great-grand-clone warned him about Roger Wilco[2], who ultimately foiled his his and the Pirates of Pestulon's plans.
He was last seen on Polysorbate LX. Apparently, he has become an alcoholic whose company has fizzled out (due to its acquisition by Sierra Cosmos On-Line), and now makes a living trading cheat codes for cheap alcohol.
[edit] Game Involvement
Elmo Pug and Roger butted heads in Space Quest 3 during an incident where Roger attempted to rescue the Two Guys From Andromeda from the clutches of ScumSoft. While Roger successfully infiltrated the ScumSoft headquarters, he was ultimately captured moments before freeing the Two Guys. As punishment, he was forced to engage Elmo Pug in a Nukem Dukem robot fight. In what appears to be an enormous underground arena, the two of them squared off. Roger won the fight and escaped with the Two Guys. Elmo, trapped inside his machine, ordered his pilots to man their ships and chase after the Alluminum Mallard. Roger successfully defeated all of the ships and escaped.
It is unknown clearly just why exactly Elmo was booted from his position as head of Scumsoft. Some sources say that he wasn't himself after suffering a loss in front of his entire company. After a while, everyone began blaming him and his methods of game production and booted him off the moon.
Several games later, Roger encountered Elmo Pug again, rather down on his luck on Polysorbate LX. Roger bought a cheat code for Stooge Fighter 3 from him in exchange for cheap alcohol. Pug did not appear to hold any grudges for past events.
