Office of Incident Assessment and Response

    In General 
  • Critical Staffing Shortage: The full extent of the OIAR is not known; Lena having superiors and the existence of an IT department suggests there are more employees than the ones we've seen so far, but the assessment office is almost terminally understaffed. It's only when Lena overhires that they actually manage to keep up with their caseload, and they only have one on-site IT manager who struggles to keep their systems running. Celia even mentions that the building they're based in is much larger than its limited staff would need.
  • Dysfunction Junction: Between a strict boss with no social skills, a constantly angry IT manager, and workers ranging from The Gadfly to The Spock, it's a wonder anything gets done at this place.
  • Foil: The OIAR’s organisation structure and public presentations contrast greatly with those of the Magnus Institute. The Magnus Institute is a relatively large, well-established and well-funded private organisation that consists of multiple departments and publicly advertises itself as an academic institute for researching and cataloguing the paranormal, with them receiving their statements through voluntary contributions from the public. Job positions are a long-term scholarly career, with multiple key employees coming from higher education, and quitting is very difficult. By contrast, the OIAR is a singular, underfunded, bottom-rung government department that only consists of five employees and is openly considered as a dead-end position that commonly only manages to retain staff for a few months. The OIAR lacks publicity to the point that it’s implied virtually no one outside its employees are aware that they even exist and even its employees can only speculate as to its origins and purpose for existence. Likewise, they collect the statements on the paranormal by their operating system secretly scanning and collecting from a variety of online sources, ranging from databases to private emails, with Alice handwaving the blatant violations of privacy; the Magnus Institute on the other hand relied on volunteers to provide their statements more or less willingly, but always with the knowledge that they had given a statement.
  • Godzilla Threshold: Whatever "the protocol" is or was, it may have been this. All that Sam and Alice know about it is that it came up in searches relating to the (now destroyed) Magnus Institute, and that it once involved a mercenary company best known for a massacre in California.
  • Haunted Technology: Something is definitely messing with the technology of the place, recording without anyone turning anything on. It also extends to technology that isn't even part of the OIAR, like Alice's private cellphone.
  • Non-Indicative Name: They certainly do a lot of assessment, but little if any of their job seems to entail any sort of response to the incidents they assess. Alice suspects that there was a separate department for response that just fizzled out at some point, and the employment forms support this. Various statements, and Gwen's trip to deliver a letter, suggest the "response" part has now been outsourced to private contractors.

Administration

    Lena Kelley 

Lena Kelley

First Mentioned: TMP 001

Voiced By: Sarah Lambie

The director of the OIAR, a strict woman critical of her workers' ability to handle the job.


  • Control Freak: Gwen certainly thinks so, making an annoyed comment about how people like to be treated as adults after Lena apparently pressured Sam to have a piece of cake because "People like chocolate cake." She's also very strict about workplace regulations.
  • Hypocrite: At one point Lena tells Sam, without a hint of irony in her voice, "It's important that we don't keep secrets here." In a department where everyone involved has at least one secret (the supernaturally horrible thing they witnessed that drew them to the OIAR in the first place) and at least a few who are hiding a hell of a lot more.
  • Mean Boss: She's not openly rude to her employees, but she is at the very least very strict, calling Gwen up to her office to chew her out over having made a snarky remark to her in front of the new employee. She is also blatantly disinterested in the success or wellbeing of her employees, telling anyone who complains for any reason that they're free to quit whenever they want rather than offering help. (Although based on what Celia says, she seems to spend interviews with promising candidates telling them not to take the job, so it's possible that telling people to leave is her idea of helping.) She even responds to Colin's mental breakdown by saying that if he can't hack it, he can just call IT...and then chewing out Sam for not scheduling the discussion in advance. She also sends Gwen to deliver a message to Nigel without giving her any warning about what that will entail.

Civil Service Workers

    Sam Khalid 

Samama "Sam" Khalid

First Mentioned: TMP 001

Voiced By: Shahan Hamza

The latest employee at OIAR, a nervous man with curiosity about the supernatural.


  • Amicable Exes: He and Alice used to date, but are on good terms and don't seem to have any tensions about their past. Alice even got him his current job.
  • Bollywood Nerd: A quiet, reserved academic of South Asian descent.
  • Curiosity Is a Crapshoot: In sharp contrast to Alice, Sam is committed from the outset to figuring out what's going on at the OIAR, regardless of how it impacts his mental health...or his physical health, for that matter. The only time so far that he's pulled back from his line of inquiry was when Alice informed him that the "Protocol" he was looking into was connected to a mass murdering mercenary company.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: It's alluded to that something has happened to him which lead him to be desperate enough to beg for a job at the OIAR, with Gwen indicating that no one who ends up there did it without something driving them to it. It's also implied to have something to do with the burned down Magnus Institute.
  • Naïve Newcomer: He's the latest hire, and unfamiliar with the archaic systems used by OIAR, not to mention with how emotionally straining the job is.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: Tends to go by "Sam" rather than Samama. He is a bit annoyed when he has to write his whole name on every page of the onboarding paperwork.
  • Refused by the Call: Part of his fixation on the Magnus Institute comes not just from his participation in one of their programs, but also from the fact that he wasn't chosen to move on to the next level.

    Alice Dyer 

Alice Dyer

First Mentioned: TMP 001

Voiced By: Billie Hindle

Sam's ex, who got him the job at OIAR. A bit of a prankster who doesn't take things too seriously, seeing the job more as a way to earn cash easily.


  • Amicable Exes: She and Sam seem to get along fine, to the point where Alice got him a job and gives him genuine advice on how to cope with the stresses of said job. She even gives him some good-natured ribbing about his apparent crush on Celia.
  • Answers to the Name of God: When Gwen gives a horrified "Jesus Christ" after a particularily nasty case, Alice, in typical self-agrandizing sarcasm, responds that she goes by Alice now.
  • Cool Big Sis: She's very supportive of her younger brother Luke and his efforts to make it big in the music industry, and also helps him out when he has cash flow problems.
  • The Gadfly: Alice takes most things with a joke and a smile, frequently jokingly talking herself up as a benevolent goddess or making snarky remarks about the work and her coworkers.
  • One-Steve Limit: Notable aversion, Alice shares her name with Alice Tonner from the first series. That said, Tonner generally went by her nickname Daisy, so it's unlikely to mean anything.
  • The Power of Apathy: How Alice copes with working at the OIAR and reading and listening to what amounts to horror stories every night: she tries her best not to care. She pays the absolute minimum amount of attention to each case that she can get away with, if she gets a 'chatty case' she goes to get coffee and waits until it's finished, and when her shift ends she endeavours to forget about them completely. She quite seriously tries to instruct Sam to follow her example for his own sake.
  • Shipper on Deck: Teases Sam about having a crush on new hire Celia.
  • Totally Radical: Teddy accuses her of having used "Tubular" unironically.

    Gwen Bouchard 

Gwendolyn "Gwen" Bouchard

First Mentioned: TMP 001

Voiced By: Anusia Battersby

A dedicated, no-nonsense woman with aspirations of ascending the ladder and taking over as director of OIAR.


  • Ambiguously Related: Given the reference to her family being wealthy and her last name being the same, Gwen is presumably part of this universe's version of Elias Bouchard's family, but if Elias has an Alternate Self in this reality then he's yet to come up.
  • Be Careful What You Wish For: So you want to be more involved in the OIAR's business, do you Gwen? Here, have an assignment that will result in you almost being eaten by a horrific parody of a kid's show mascot.
  • Brutal Honesty: When asked why she's still working at the OIAR and what she wants by Lena, Gwen curtly responds that she wants Lena's job.
  • Consummate Professional: Gwen is a dedicated worker who wants to do her job accurately and precisely, apparently does little socializing outside of it, and who's main goal is to climb the ladder and take over as director. She is annoyed by Alice's unprofessionalism at work, and interrupts her explanation to Sam for how to do the job easily to explain how to do it properly.
  • Embarrassing First Name: Alice thinks that "Gwendolyn" is a bad name, though Gwen herself doesn't see anything wrong with it.
  • It's All About Me: She believes that she deserves the respect of her coworkers and a higher position in the OIAR, and when she overhears Alice and Sam whispering, her first assumption is that they're talking about her.
  • Mysterious Past: She claims that anyone who works for the OIAR have some dark and terrible event in their past that led them there, but refuses to say anything when Sam asks.
  • Not So Stoic: Her Consummate Professional confidence evaporates when she encounters the thing called Mr. Bonzo. She's left bewildered, stammering out questions to try and figure out what it is, while only being told to remain calm repeatedly.
  • One-Steve Limit: Notable aversion; Gwen shares her last name with Elias Bouchard, the Big Bad of the previous series. Time will tell if this means anything.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: Most people call her Gwen, with Gwendolyn only coming up rarely.
  • Quantity vs. Quality: She falls on the Quality side. She has a massive backlog of cases she needs to go through and is generally far behind Alice in terms of amount of cases filed, but she's much more precise and takes her time to make sure every case is properly filed, while Alice just does the bare minimum to get a paycheck.
  • Secretly Wealthy: She replies to Alice's jab about her wealth that they get paid the same amount, but Lena mentions she's from a well-off family.
  • Social Climber: She's quite open that her main aspiration is to climb the ranks and eventually take over as OIAR's director. Lena rather bluntly tells her that it's a waste of time, since director of a dysfunctional minor and barely known government organization isn't exactly a career path that goes anywhere.
  • The Spock: She's the most dedicated to doing her job properly, even at the cost of effectiveness, and has little patience for Alice's more lackadaisical approach to their work.
  • Too Dumb to Live: After getting evidence that her boss is an attempted murderer, her first reaction is to go directly to this boss to blackmail her. Nothing bad happens, but Lena points out that it was rather poorly though out.

    Celia Ripley 

Celia Ripley

First Mentioned: TMP 006

Voiced By: Lowri Ann Davies

Another new hire at OIAR, brought on shortly after Sam, who claims not to scare easily.


  • One-Steve Limit: Another notable aversion, Celia shares a name and voice actor with Celia, formerly Lynne Hammond, from Archives. Time will tell if any connection exists between the two characters...
  • Parents as People: Has an infant son, Jack. Celia doesn't actually know who the father is, as the result of "some wild years."

Information Technology

    Colin Becher 

Colin Becher

First Mentioned: TMP 001

Voiced By: Ryan Hopevere-Anderson

The IT manager at OIAR. Always in a bad mood, as a result of wrestling the severely outdated system and dealing with someone he believes is listening in.


  • Enmity with an Object: Colin treats FR3-d1 as his personal nemesis, despite it being a computer operating system. Of course, just how inanimate it is is in question.
  • Hair-Trigger Temper: He's remarkably easy to set off, particularly when it involves the OIAR's bizarre, decades-out-of-date, unreliable computer infrastructure.
  • Properly Paranoid: He seems to believe that something is listening in on the OIAR, and is determined to figure out what, appearing nearly manic at the end of the first episode. He's the only one who seems to notice when devices turn themselves on so the audience (at least) can spy on the cast.
  • Sanity Slippage: With each appearance or mention in the show, Colin seems to get a bit more unhinged. From seeming relatively... together... in the first few minutes of episode 1, to flying off the handle at Sam after a joke from Alice, to apparently crawling through a hallway in episode 5, ripping out wires from the wall. As of episode 7, he's leapt to fighting Sam physically after Sam brought in an outside electronic, possibly breaking that phone as well. The man is not stable, to put it mildly. As of episode 8, he's forcibly been put on mental health leave by Lena.
  • Violent Glaswegian: His violent tendencies seem to only extend to various threats and oaths directed at the OIAR's systems, but he has a thick Scottish accent and is the most short-tempered of Sam's coworkers. Sam in particular seems afraid that he'll come to bodily harm if he gets too far onto Colin's bad side. This turns out to be more than a hunch when Sam breaks Colin's "No External Electronics" rule, which causes Colin to freak out and break his phone.

    Klaus 

Klaus

First Mentioned: TMP 004

Voiced By: Paul Schmidt

Colin's predecessor's predecessor IT manager.


Other

    FR3-d1 

FR3-d1

First Mentioned: TMP 001

Voiced By: Alexander J. Newall (Norris), Jonathan Sims (Chester), Tim Fearon (Augustus)

An 1989 algorithm that searches all manner of technological devices for records of supernatural incidents, from emails to phonecalls to (supposedly) transcribed prints sources, and compiles them for the civil service workers to evaluate and file. It also has a tendency to play some of these sources aloud through one of three text-to-speech voices.


  • The Alleged Computer: Well, operating systems, but still. FR3-d1, the system that collects the OIAR's statements, runs on Windows NT-4.0 (an operating system from 1996), will break any newer operating systems, runs on a proprietary German source code that Colin can't make heads or tails of, and inexplicably has what may or may not be text-to-speech capacity despite running on an operating system from the '90s. Judging by Sam's reaction, the computers themselves aren't much newer.
  • Leet Lingo: How Alice reads its name to call it Freddy.

Outside the Office

    Gertrude Robinson 

Gertrude "Gee Gee" Robinson

First Mentioned: TMP 008

Voiced by: Sue Sims

Gerard Keay's defensive, cold, and wholly untrusting grandmother, she doesn't take kindly to some visitors that come to ask about her grandson's time with the Magnus Institute.


  • Affectionate Nickname: Her grandson calls her "Gee Gee".
  • Alternate Self: To The Magnus Archives' Gertrude.
  • Ambiguous Situation: Gertrude in Archives attempted to blow up the Magnus Institute in 2015 after decades of being its (deliberately counter-productive) Archivist, and got murdered for her trouble. In Protocol, however, the Magnus Institute burned to the ground in 1999 and Gertrude is still alive and well in 2024. This raises many questions about Gertrude's potential involvement with the fire and whether or not she was/is the Archivist in this timeline.
  • Spared by the Adaptation: Gertrude in Archives was murdered by Jonah Magnus in 2015. Here, she's still around in 2024.

    Gerry Keay 

Gerard "Gerry" Keay

First Mentioned: TMP 008

Voiced by: Jon Gracey

A pleasant young artist who lives with his grandmother. In the '90s, he participated in a gifted kids' program run by the Magnus Institute, along with Sam Khalid.


  • Alternate Self: To The Magnus Archives' Gerard Keay.
  • The Pollyanna: A very cheerful fellow who's nothing but upbeat for all the time he talks. As Celia and Sam are leaving, he can be heard telling Gertrude that he liked them, to which she responds that of course he did.
  • Spared by the Adaptation: In addition to not having died of a brain tumor in 2014, Gerry seems to lack most if not all of his Archives variant's trauma. Given that he still ended up in close contact with Gertrude and the Magnus Institute, he may have some baggage of his own, however.

    Mr. Bonzo 

Mr. Bonzo

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tmpmrbonzo.png
Mr. Bonzo's on his way
He wants to stay, he wants to play

First Mentioned: TMP 010

Voiced by: Uncredited

A freakish clown character who was once the beloved star of the BBC variety show "Saturday on Six". In the modern day he seems to be a living being rather than a man in a costume, but it's unclear if that was always the case.


  • Breakout Character: In-universe. He was supposed to be a one-off character, but after his explosion in popularity he became a fixture of the show and eventually replaced the original host Mr. Six.
  • Expy: Of Mr. Blobby. Both started out as an intentionally horrible, clownlike, fake children's character, created by a British variety show to prank their celebrity guests. After the prank got too well known, they where transitioned into regular recurring characters, and surprisingly became genuinely popular amongst children. they both later saw a complete turnaround in their public perception, with most now reviling them or at best liking them ironically. Mr. Bonzo also looks similar to Mr. Blobby in the official merch, except Mr. Bonzo has a different color scheme, a necktie instead of a bowtie, and a hat. The big difference is Mr. Bonzo's fall was much more sudden and triggered by a serial killer using his costume. Also, Mr. Bonzo is just as horrifying as he appears.
  • Pokémon Speak: Just like the Mr. Blobby character he's based on, Mr. Bonzo can only say "Bonzo" over and over again in a heavily distorted voice.
  • To Serve Man: One survivor from an instance where Bonzo killed an entire bachelor party claims that he ate all the bodies - and her hand, for good measure.

    [Error]  

[Error]

First Mentioned: TMP 010

Voiced by: Beth Eyre

Someone or something that has been locked away underneath the ruins of the Magnus Institute, presumably since before it burned down. At least, until Sam and Alice came to visit.


  • No Name Given: As of episode 10, the transcripts and credits only refer to it as [Error].
  • Sealed Evil in a Can: It's been locked in a chamber beneath the Magnus Institute for a long time. One can assume that if it was intentionally locked underneath the Intstitute of all places then it's probably bad news.

    Incident Subjects 

"Arthur"

First Mentioned: TMP 001

A deceased individual who returns to life. Partially, at least.


  • Body Horror: We get scant few details about its appearance, but what we get is unsettling. Discolored skin, mismatched features, something pressing against its skin from the inside, and the fact that "some of him" is Arthur.
  • Uncertain Doom: The fate of its victim is even more ambiguous than usual. Most people involved in incidents are either dead, soon to be dead, or alive and safe (soundness optional). Poor Harriet on the other hand might be in "Arthur's" crosshairs, or it might have just used her for a cheap laugh before moving on and now she's jumping at shadows.

RedCanary

First Mentioned: TMP 001

An urban spelunker who visited the ruins of the Magnus Institute.


  • Eye Scream: Something took objection to their visit to/recording of the institute and used their account to send a warning to others that involved eye-related gore, very likely RedCanary's.
  • Interface Screw: They took numerous pictures of unusual symbols on the institute's ruins and a box they salvaged from it, but none of them could be uploaded and eventually deleted themselves from the camera.

Daria

First Mentioned: TMP 002

Voiced By: Kate Sketchley

A visual artist with a deep disdain for her own appearance.


  • Body Horror: She starts modifying herself by tweaking her fingers, eyes, ears, nose, cheekbones, chin, waist, bust, lets, calves, wrists, feet, and general frame with a list of changes that would make a plastic surgeon blush. And then she keeps going for days, making more and more adjustments, which also become more and more asymmetrical as her perfect tattoo began to spread. What exactly she looks like towards the end isn't described, but apparently her hands could no longer grip things, her face was fragile enough for a punch to go right into it and "undo days of work", and her roommate thought she'd disfigured herself with acid.
  • The Cobbler's Children Have No Shoes: A variation. As a visual artist she's very knowledgeable about physical beauty, and as a result is very critical about all the ways her own appearance falls short.
  • Embarrassing Tattoo: Inverted. The tattoo she gets from Ink5oul is the only part of her appearance she considers perfect.
  • Establishing Character Moment: Her very first lines assert her hatred of her own appearance and an insistence that she's mentally sound despite being in court-ordered therapy.

Ink5oul

First Mentioned: TMP 002

A tattoo artist who has a large online following. Their most recognizable feature is a snake tattoo on their arm and it seems the tattoos they create have supernatural effects.


  • Ambiguous Gender: Daria describes them with they/them pronouns but also mentions that they were underwhelming and nothing about them stuck in her mind, making it unclear whether they identify as nonbinary or whether Daria is using gender neutral language because she can't remember what they identify as.
  • Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: They ask highly invasive questions of their clients, tattoo whatever they see fit on said clients without actually consulting them on a design, and the process of tattooing is agonizing for the recipient. They also have mediocre dubstep playing in their parlor at all times.
  • Letters 2 Numbers: Just look at their name!
  • Tattoo as Character Type: The only detail about them that Daria remembers is the floral serpent tattoo on their arm and neck. Just as their tattoo overshadows everything else about them, the tattoo they give Daria comes to overshadow everything else about her and inspire her to make changes to try and match its level of perfection.

Dr. Samuel Webber

First Mentioned: TMP 003

A doctor who hid in an overgrown garden, never to leave.


  • Apocalyptic Log: His incident is recorded in the form of his journal entries, which gradually degrade along with his condition. The journal itself was recovered from a partly-buried briefcase grown through with roots, possibly his.
  • Blatant Lies: His last note on his medical condition is that he's free of greenflies (also known as aphids, a type of herbivorous insect) and is quite healthy. His second-to-last note is that "The roots have freed themselves from the weight of my meat as it sags from my bones and drops to the dirt."
  • Deadly Doctor: A medical doctor who is heavily implied to have murdered his wife and the man she cheated on him with, and whose medical self-diagnoses provide a good chunk of information about what the garden does to him.
  • Festering Fungus: The initial symptoms of his infection could theoretically be a very nasty yet mundane fungus. As time goes on and it starts to spread, though, well...
  • Sanity Slippage: His medical notes gradually change from concern for his health to being heavily biased in favor of his botanical growth and against his original Animalia body. And that's without getting into how he starts hallucinating his (probably dead) wife in the garden with him.

The Violinist

First Mentioned: TMP 004

A noble-born violinist who played (or served) a violin with peculiar properties.


  • Bastard Bastard: The illegitimate son of a nobleman, preventing him from inheriting and driving him to seek his fortune in music, which he does by feeding unwitting students to his violin to fuel his own success.
  • The Dog Was the Mastermind: He admits to being unsure who is the instrument and who the player between him and the violin, can't and won't bring himself to destroy the instrument, and upon his death his main priority in his posthumous letter is to convince his nephew to continue feeding it. Added together, he seems more a servant of the violin than its master, and his musical skill with it seems more like a payment bestowed for feeding it.
  • Purple Prose: His letter is one of the most flowery and poetic incidents read by FR3-d1.

The Merchant

First Mentioned: TMP 004

An Englishman with a bag full of unusual items.


  • Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: He mirrors Breekon and Hope in a number of ways. Both bestow strange and dangerous items upon people, but where Breekon and Hope were a pair who spoke in deliberately overblown lower-class accents and delivered a single item at a time to whoever was meant to receive it, the Merchant is a lone individual of refined countenance who carries many items with him that he gives away as he fancies.
    • He's also this to Mikaele Salesa. While they both deal supernatural items that often have unfortunate effects on those that receive them, Salesa operated with a ship and a crew and was very careful to not actually serve any one Power, while the merchant is a solitary wanderer who seems to have power resembling Beholding, as the violinist ends up telling him his entire life's story without meaning to.

The Theatre Worker

First Mentioned: TMP 005

An old man who works as the ticket taker, concession manager, usher, and presumably projectionist for a film called Voyeur.


  • Evil Old Folks: Whether he was involved in the production of Voyeur or not, he's unquestionably involved in presenting it to its audience and has at least some knowledge of its subject matter.
  • Faux Affably Evil: By all appearances is a perfectly normal old man who's overworked running a movie theatre by himself and gives someone free popcorn for a viewing. It just makes it all the more unsettling that he's affiliated with such a disturbing film, whether as its director, star, servant, or something else.
  • Pet the Dog: He gives Tom free popcorn on his viewing of Voyeur, which is apparently delicious.

Needles

First Mentioned: TMP 006

Voiced By: Harry Roebuck

A man covered in, filled with, and/or made of needles. In any case, someone very dangerous to embrace.


  • Afraid of Needles: Mentioned almost by name as he's infuriated that someone wouldn't be, seeing that he's less a flu shot and more a walking iron maiden.
  • And Call Him "George": He describes what he does to people alternately as a cuddle or an embrace, and claims he does because seeing people afraid makes him want to hold them close. Given that he's covered in needles, this is invariably lethal.
  • Death by a Thousand Cuts: Inflicts these as a matter of course, which he describes as "an excruciating agony formed from a thousand tiny hurts."
  • Evil Is Petty: He resolves to track down and presumably embrace a 999 operator because they didn't give him the reaction he was hoping for in calling the emergency line to taunt them about his victim.
  • Pride: Almost as prominent as his sadism is his ego. He takes pride in the fact that his home turf is considered "not [a] safe place to walk at night" thanks to his actions, and he throws a tantrum when someone tells him needles aren't scary.
  • Sadist: He denies being one of these, claiming he's tried it already. However, he while he doesn't seem to take pleasure in causing pain he definitely takes pleasure in causing fear, which is still a form of emotional sadism.

The Volunteers

First Mentioned: TMP 007

A volunteer, and then group of volunteers, who plagued one D. Margolis and the Hilltop Centre of the Oxford People's Trust.


  • Evil Has a Bad Sense of Humor: They apparently find "It's for a good cause" to be bloody hilarious, laughing almost nonstop and filling the charity with increasingly disturbing and nonsensical 'donations.'
  • Giggling Villain: Their constant laughter is their defining trait, not stopping even as they're gunned down and burned alive.

Nigel Dickerson

First Mentioned: TMP 009

Voiced By: Steve Newman

A former presenter and TV host, (in)famous for his connection to Mr. Bonzo.


  • Gilded Cage: At first sight he seems to be quite well off, making enough off of Mr. Bonzo merchandise to live in a nice mansion. And then we find out that he's only the caretaker to the mansion, and to its real owner.
  • Nervous Wreck: He hides it relatively well, but questions about Mr. Bonzo that get too pressing have a tendency to send him into panic. It's clear that whatever his connection to Mr. Bonzo is, it hasn't done him any favors.
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed: He's almost certainly a parallel to Noel Edmonds. Minus being the keeper/prisoner of a horrifying clown monster of his own creation. That we're aware of.
