Clues & Culprits › Rogues’ Gallery › Iris
Iris
Speaks mostly in metaphors. Occasionally in haiku.
Artist — Paints, sings, performs — and watches the audience.
In their own words
“Truth is a candle; it gutters, then it glows.”
“This line of strangers, like words waiting for a verse.”
“I came for the inspiration. I got it.”
“This fog is a grey sonnet, and we are its broken lines.”— in Victorian London, 1888
Characters’ asides never contain clues. In a case, only their statements count as evidence.

Track record
In the 28 cases old enough to have a published walkthrough, Iris turned out to be a criminal 11 times and innocent 17 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.
