Lore & Background
Jester is an enigmatic figure often overshadowed by the rivalry between Pierrot and Harlequin. While Harlequin is the Master of Ceremonies and Pierrot is the Lead Performer, Jester operates in the shadows, often appearing when the player least expects it.
Lore surrounding Jester is fragmented. Some claim they are the original fool of the circus, replaced by Harlequin and left to rot in the void. Others suggest Jester is a manifestation of the circus's rejected ideas—a chaotic amalgamation of every failed act.
Secret Encounters
In Day 2, diligent players have reported sighting Jester in the reflection of mirrors in the Funhouse. They don't speak, but their presence triggers subtle glitches in the game's UI, hinting at a meta-narrative layer where Jester is aware they are in a game.
Personality
Jester is unpredictable and desperate for attention, contrasting with Harlequin's confident arrogance. They oscillate between manic joy and deep, glitch-like depression. They seem to know more about the "true ending" than anyone else but speak only in riddles.
