Brother Auggie (Burg: Fra Augment or Fra Auggie), meaning Brother Increase, is the satirical personification of Bergendii merchant elite. He was also used as an emblem of Burgundie in general and can be an allegory of capitalism. The catchphrase "Fra Auggie" came into use when a Kiraviaian general fighting the Ile Burgundie in the Kiro-Burgundian Wars of the 18th century, sought supplies and a number of Bergendii merchants came to his aid. His slight originally meant "one who increases his own wealth at the expense of his brothers", but the meaning was simplified in order to make it more accessible when picked up by the tabloids. He did this a number of times and the phrase "We must consult Fra Auggie" came to be a strategy for Kiraviaians and other nations militaries fighting in far off places.
By the late 19th century Fra Auggie came to be depicted in editorial cartoons and anti-Burgundian posters outside Burgundie as a long-winded Bergendii merchant who dressed in striped trousers, somber black coat, and stove-pipe hat. Inside Burgundie, "Brother Jonathan" was depicted as an enterprising and active businessman who blithely boasted of Bergendii conquests for the Burgoignesc thalattocracy.
