*WARNING - Spoilers Ahead*
Bobbin was the main character in Loom. At the end of the game, he transfigured himself into a swan and crossed over to the other side of the Universe, where the Dead once dwelled (until they were freed during the game).
The fact that this ending was not that good for a sequel, with the main character no longer in a position to be a hero, leads Guybrush to comment that without him (the hero), there will be no further MI games, just as there were no Loom sequels.
In actual fact, there were plans for two Loom sequels starring two different characters from the first game, but these plans were axed early in development.
