Clues & Culprits › Rogues’ Gallery › Arlo
Arlo
Believes everyone is innocent until the very last card. Usually wrong.
Courier — Always on the move. Knows every back door.
In their own words
“I just think people are basically good, you know?”
“Today feels lucky. Does it feel lucky to you?”
“Whatever happens, I brought snacks for everyone.”
“Chin up, everyone. The fog always lifts eventually.”— in Victorian London, 1888
Characters’ asides never contain clues. In a case, only their statements count as evidence.
Case record
Arlo has stood in 27 lineups so far, as a postie, a conductor, a jockey, a volunteer, a delivery driver, a intern and more. Whether they were guilty is something you’ll have to prove for yourself.

Track record
In the 22 cases old enough to have a published walkthrough, Arlo turned out to be a criminal 9 times and innocent 13 times. Roughly what you would expect by chance: a past record is never evidence in Clues & Culprits. Today’s and yesterday’s cases are left out so nothing is spoiled.
