He, along with his brother Pibbo and Monsieur Napoleon, welcomed Lady Mechanika to the Cirque Du Romani. Bippo kicked his brother Pibbo in the butt. Pibbo then chased Bippo around the legs of Lady Mechanika with his club. This provided the perfect distraction for them to disarm her. Monsieur Napoleon managed to steal her hat and gave it to Bippo.

Bippo’s brother, Pibbo, noticed Lady Mechanika’s eyes and called them demonic. Gitano recognized them as belonging to a Mechanika. Bippo was confused with this at first and did not realize that Gitano was reffering to Lady Mechanika as the legendary woman from Mechanika City named Lady Mechanika. Bippo referred to Lady Mechanika as a celebrity and was amazed when he found out that she was who she appeared to be. It appeared that Lady Mechanika had a fan in Bippo. He probably felt connected to Lady Mechanika who was an outsider or outcast of society as well.
