| Cause of Death | The computer broke |
Comptun Sparks was one of the founding human members of Comaq. It was his desire to be put into a computer. Tragically, the computer broke, and he passed away. For purposes of differentiation from other Comaq Portable computers, Comptun wore a nametag.
Life
Comptun's life work involved reverse-engineering the IBS software so that it would work on the Comaq Portable computer. While working with Zartholomew, he had an epiphany. "What if I could go IN TO the computer!?".
Zartholomew cast a spell to put Comptun into the computer. Comptun liked it in there so much, he told Zartholomew to "throw away the key". And so it was, Zartholomew tore the removal spell out of his personal tome and ate the page.
Death
In 1988, tragedy struck and the computer that housed Comptun broke. No one could figure out why.
Personal relationships
Sam Whistler met Comptun once in 1987. Upon seeing him, he loudly exclaimed “you put a guy in there!? You can’t put a guy in there!”. Sam was visibly confused and distraught by the prospect of a human being living within a computer.
