Lady Jessica Snoots-Garfield-Stynes-Thomson
Ex-wife of Sir Reginald. And then Gladstone. And now married to Alfred
46 year old gardening and poetry fanatic.

Alfred Thomson
51 year old former butler and now devoted husband to Jessica. More or less.

Angelina
Lady Jessica and Alfred’s recently adopted 15 year old orphan daughter
Although apparently reformed from her wild street-ways, Angelina occasionally misbehaves. And like all 15 year old girls, she has a secret.

Jan Snoots (extremely wealthy businessman. He’s from Suth Ifrica you know)
32 years old and recently engaged to Gabriella. Would like to buy a circus. Doesn't own one yet, but after today has second thoughts. Maybe Fiji?

Gabriella (engaged to Jan Snoots)
27 year old single French model and former member of French secret service. Gabriella Eiffel is daughter of the famous tower architect.

Gladstone Garfield-Stynes
41 year old adventurer-explorer, player of Gaelic football, business partner with Jan Snoots.

Friedrich Gebhardt
44 year old German industrialist. Achtung. Work faster. A German cannon would not explode like that!

Maxwell “Silverhammer” the sad clown
Maxwell had just hit Bongo on the head with his silver "hammer" before the explosion. The symbolism is striking, and now he fears that people are looking at him.

Mystic Medusa, fortune-telling Greek woman
Mysterious psychic. Has the uncanny ability to predict events. Like the recent resignation of Stumpy the clown. And the recent death of a trapeze artist. And the fact that something tragic would happen today. But most of her fortune-telling circus act is just made up.

“Vince the Vice” lion-tamer
The only man stronger in this circus is the Ironman. Vince hates him. A Lot.

Sir Henry Longbottom, ringmaster
Sees the circus troupe as his personal family. What hurts one hurts all.

Valerie, lead trapeze artiste extraordinaire
Destined for international success and enormous fame, or so she thinks.

Eliza, assistant to now-dead “Cannonball Charlie”
If Eliza stops crying then maybe she will have some clues about the murderer.

Tim, trapeze artist
Noone seems to notice Tim or take him very seriously, but he is quite a good performer.

Harpy the musical clown
Can play several musical instruments while riding a bicycle.

Bongo the happy clown
Happy. Extremely happy. Strangely so. Couldn't be anything to do with that red slimy stuff now could it?

“The Ironman”
Tough exterior but very soft on the inside. Some think in the head too.

Marlene the Juggler
A French juggleur with a bee up her nose.

Marty the Juggler
A juggler. Really, what more can I say.

(Note. It is 1886, roughly a year after "Airship Mayhem", but knowledge of other Snoots family games is NOT required. This is a rather systemless game old chap).
