The Clown King is a False Hearts assassin who targets UGN leaders and valuable agents. Several UGN branches have come together in a co-op mission aimed at taking down the King. The player characters were deployed by their branch to join this mission. The Clown King dresses in a very noticeable and gaudy clown costume, but he is difficult to track down due to his special ability “Jester’s Crowning.” Anyone affected by this ability will be turned into a clown.
Crowning to turn hundreds of people into clowns. Now exposed to a Ren- egade strain, these victims are slowly turning into Gjaums. Will the player characters be able to find the real King amongst this crowd?
The Clown King -Neumann/Hanuman/Ouroboros The Jester’s Crowning ability is a combination of Midnight Cinema (Core pg 393) and Muse’s Whispers (pg 74). People that were turned into clowns will act just like the real King. In addition, those with a Renegade affinity will get taken over and forced to attack the player characters. If the affected civilians are left in their transformed state for an extended period of time, they will become Gjaums.
fields. He will also disguise himself as an UGN agent from City N named Yoko Shirato and join the player characters’ search. There are other UGN agents who are also from City N, but none of them will see through the King’s disguise.
The King will also use Mirror Image of Nightmares (Advanced pg 106) to create body doubles of himself. He will use those copies to send the player characters on wild chases and tire them out.
The players must first search for the created copies amongst the crowd of decoys. After the copies have been defeated, Yoko Shirato will reveal “herself” as the Clown King and attack the weakened players.

Players must find the real Clown King amongst the crowd of fake clowns that now occupies the downtown.
Goal: 15 Points
Support Roll: [Sense] [Social]
Yoko can perform a [Sense] 6 Support Roll six times per Round.
Recommended for: 4 Players
As time passes, civilians will slowly turn into Gjaums. Let your players know beforehand. From the third Round onwards, you must roll the special Situation chart in place of the regular one. The results determine
when and how many become Gjaums. For every Round that passes, add +10 (Max 100) to your resulting roll. Once 12 points have been gathered, Yoko Shirato will reveal herself as the Clown King and attacks. If the players realize that Yoko is the Clown King at any time and attacks her, she will use «Instant Retreat» to exit the Scene. This event results in the successful completion of the check. Progression Events that have not been triggered need not be played out.
Any surviving Civilian Clowns will appear during the boss battle.
