A bro that is always at a party but never seems to get in on drinking games or other party activities. He can be seen casually sipping at his beer whilst chilling from a distance or adding the occasional chuckle and/or witty comment. They are very rarely seen alone, usually in groups of 2 or 3 so as to seem like they are having fun. Can also be abbreviated to BGB.
If you start to interact with a background character they can become a side character.
