Alex O'Brien Feldman

***Alex O'Brien Feldman*** is an American born theatrical clown.

## Biography

Feldman performs under the stage name "Alex the Jester" in the style of a medieval court jester, a tradition which combines music, juggling, prop comedy and stage magic. While performing at the Just for Laughs international comedy festival in Montreal, Canada, Feldman began speaking a contemporary version of the medieval gibberish language Grammelot as part of his act. The use of Grammelot cuts through language barriors.

In Nov of 2009, Feldman was selected by the US State Department to entertain in Russia as a cultural ambassador. He has also toured the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Belgium, Bermuda, Japan and Mexico. Feldman currently lives in Somerville, Massachusetts and is married with two children, Desi, and A.J. Keaton

## Training

Feldman studied performance at the Dell'Arte International School of Physical Theater in California.

## Performance Philosophy

Feldman wrote that, "*Audiences care less about what you do. They care more about who you are*". Feldman's use of physical comedy to develop his character has been slowly built through a trial and error process.
Jesters (Cyberchase)

***Cyber–Jesters*** are members for The King and only appeaerd in the episode of *Cyberchase*, “*Hugs & Witches*”.

## History

They’re too busy to help the kids find Dr. Marbles and Lady Ada Lovelace’s Time Machine. Because they’re due at the castle to audition for The King. Except, They don’t know if he’s short or tall. They’re going to send one of the jesters to the king who is not too tall or short, so they don’t insult The King. But, they don’t know which one that is. Jackie asked if they can help the jesters and they can tell where the time machine is. They accepted it. Matt insist they should be able to the middle jester, just like what they did with the rocks and the wrats. Inez suggest to line up the jesters fron shortest to tallest. Digit blows the whistle and tells the jester to line up. Jester lined up the wrong way. Digit tells them to line up side by side for the right goes from the shortest to the tallest on the left. And they did, from shortest to tallest. And the best jester to meet The King is the one of middle height. “*Find the one that stands for all*”, what Lady Ada Lovelace’s letter said. Digit is curious to know how. Matt tells that the middle split things in half. So, there should be the same number of short guys as there’re tall guys on the other. Jackie suggest to simplify by taking the jesters on the ends away since they cannot be the middle jester. Digit blow the whistle again and tell the ends jester to leave for recess and the did. Inez suggest to do it again. Digit blow the whistle third time and tells off with the end jesters. Matt grabs the whistle to make Digit to stop blowing it as the end jesters leave. Jackie says bye to the end jester as they leave. Matt says one more time, and they did. The short one leave, the tall one leaves and found the middle jester. Jackie tells the middle jester, he will meet The King. The Middle Jester thanks them for their help and tells them the time machine is just over the hill.
Wise fool

***Wise fool***, or the wisdom of the fool is a theme in literature that plays on the oxymoron in which a fool expresses wisdom. The concept developed during the Middle Ages when there was a rise of "civilizing" factors, such certain practices of manners, in Western Europe and achieved its most pronounced state in the Renaissance. The wisdom of the fool is often opposed to learned knowledge or elite knowledge.

## Characteristics

Innocuous fools have often enjoyed special privileges in cultural and economic groups, whereas aggressive madmen have had to be restrained or incarcerated. A fool's powerlessness and helplessness may gain him or her protection of more fortunate people. Since the fool is only guided by his natural instincts, because he or she does not understand social conventions, he or she is not culpable for breaches of those rules. The fool is not expected to "know better" or "know" anything.

Because of this, the fool has often been given relative freedom, particularly in speech. The advantage of speaking with exemption from punishment has made the fool attractive in the literary imagination, for example, The Fool in Shakespeare's King Lear. Lear's fool is one of only three people in the play who consistently speak to him wisely, and the other two, Cordelia and the Earl of Kent, are punished severely.

Though fools are separated from normal society and sometimes subjected to derision and contemptuous treatment, at times they are regarded with respect and reverence — the holy fool. In the Middle Ages, and in some primitive societies, the fool was thought to be under the protection of God and in possession of "Godly imparted tongues".

Wise fools also may reject, and therefore call attention to, norms of the culture which they deem to be counterproductive. This might make him or her appear foolish. Sam Keen says: "To call a man a fool is not necessarily an insult, for the authentic life has frequently been pictured under the metaphor of the fool. In figures such as Socrates, Christ, and the Idiot of Dostoyevsky we see that foolishness and wisdom are not always what they seem to be.

## Examples in literature

Patchface from A Song of Ice and Fire is a fool to King Stannis Baratheon who was the only survivor of a shipwreck that killed Stannis' parents. As a result, he was apparently driven mad and makes seemingly nonsensical statements. However, his words seem to prophecy significant events in the series, such as the Red Wedding.

The Japanese novelist Shusaku Endo's 1959 novel Wonderful Fool presents its protagonist, Gaston Bonaparte as a relative of Napoleon's who visits Japan. He bumbles his way through troubles by naively ignoring or not understanding a series of problems and attacks, but leaves his Japanese friends enlightened.
Fool’s Cap in Map of the World

Fool's Head World Map, based on Ortelius's third 'Typus Orbis Terrarum,' which suggests a publication date after 1587. Published by an unknown maker, it shows a fool's or jester's cap with a world map where the face would be. In this conceit, it is based on an earlier woodcut map by Jean de Gourmant. The text is in Latin : (panel on the left) 'Democritus Abderites deridebat, Heraclites Ephesius deflebat, Epichthonnis Cosmopolites deformabat' / 'Democritus of Abdera laughed at it' [the world], 'Heraclitus of Ephesus wept over it', 'Epichtonius Cosmopolites portrayed it'; (above the cap) 'Nosce te ipsum' / 'Know thyself' (from the Greek dictum 'gnothi seauton' reputedly inscribed on the temple of Apollo at Delphi); (across the cap’s brow) 'O caput ellebore dignum' / 'O head, worthy of a dose of hellebore' (a poisonous plant). On the cap's ears: ' Auriculas asini quis non habet' /'Who does not have donkey's ears?', a phrase ascribed to Lucius Annaeus Cornutus, a Roman stoic philosopher from the 1st century AD. The Latin quote immediately above the map is from Pliny the Elder's 'Natural History' (bk. 2 ch. 72) 'Hic est mundi punctus et materia gloriae nostrae, hic sedes, hic honores gerimus, hic exercemus imperia, hic opes cupimus, hic tumultuatur humanum genus, hic instauramus bella, etiam civica. ' / 'This is world, and this is the substance of our glory, this is its seat, here it is that we fill positions of power and covet wealth, and throw mankind into an uproar, and launch wars, even civil ones.' Below the map is the reason for this, taken from Ecclesiastes, 1.15: Stultorum infinitus est et numerus' / 'The number of fools is infinite' (7). Another quote from Ecclesiastes (1.2) is shown as engraved in the cup at the top of the jester's staff on the right: 'Vanitas vanitatum et omnia vanitas' / 'Vanity of vanities, all is vanity'. The badges on the decorative belt crossing the figure's shoulder on the left read: 'O curas hominum, O quantum est in rebus inane' / 'Oh, the worries of the world; oh, how much triviality is there in the world', which is the opening of the 'Satires' of Aulus Persius Flaccus’ Satires; 'Stultus factus est omnis homo' / 'All men are without sense' (Jer. 10.14) and 'Universa vanitas omnis homo' / 'All things are vanity, by every man living' (Psalm 39.6 VUL). There is an allusive reference to this map in Robert Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy (1621).
Jester (DC Comics)

> "*I'm down to my last joke anyway, but this one will kill ya!*"
> ― The Jester's last words
>
>

**The Jester** is a minor protagonist in the DC *Justice League: Crisis on two Earth's.* He is an alternate reality version of the famous DC villain The Joker. He is seen in the beginning of the film aiding his reality's version of Lex Luthor in stealing a quantum trigger that will allow them to travel to alternate reality's and recruit heroes from those reality's to fight The Crime Syndicate of America, his reality's version of the Justice League, albeit evil versions.

Unfortunately their heist triggered a silent alarm and The Martian, the evil counterpart of Martian Manhunter and Angelique, the evil counterpart of Hawkgirl arrived to stop them. As the villains began to catch up, Jester refused to follow Luthor, hoping to instead buy him some time. When Martian and Angelique finally caught up to Jester they easily defeated him and tortured him in an attempt to regain the trigger. Jester merely said he was down to his last joke, but it would "kill them". With that, he detonated a bomb that blew up the building they were inside, killing himself, Martian and Angelique.

Later in the film, after Luthor had recruited the prime universe DC heroes to help him, they used Jester's base as a hideout and were greeted by a monkey dressed in a Harlequin costume. Luthor sorrowly said "I'm sorry Harley, The Jester's never coming back."

## Personality

Unlike the DC prime universe's Joker who is selfish, cruel and sadistic, Jester is selfless, optimistic and makes jokes that are friendly in nature. But he is not afraid to face his enemies face to face and is willing to sacrifice himself for the good of the few remaining heroes in his reality. He also uses some of Joker's trademark equipment such as bombs with smiles painted on, and hydrochloric acid to eat through solid objects

Hershel of Ostropol

***Hershel of Ostropol*** (Yiddish: הערשעלע אסטראפאלער‎, translit. Hershele Ostropoler, 1757 – 1811) is a prominent figure in Jewish humor. Hershele was a prankster from Ostropol, Ukraine, who lived in poverty and targeted the rich and powerful, both Jew and Gentile. Common folks were not safe from his shenanigans, either, but usually got off lightly. He is also remembered by Ukrainian gentiles as something of an ethnic folk hero, who could take on establishment forces much larger than himself with nothing but his humor.

While his exploits have been mythologized over the years, the character of Hershele is based on a historic figure, who lived in what is today Ukraine during the late 18th or early 19th century. He may have used his wits to get by, eventually earning a permanent position as court jester of sorts to Rabbi Boruch of Medzhybizh.

In the Hershele stories, he was chosen by members of Rabbi Boruch's court in order to counter the rebbe's notorious fits of temper and lift his chronic melancholy.

It is believed that Hershele died of a fatal accident that was brought about by one of Rabbi Boruch's fits of anger. Hershele lingered for several days and died in Rabbi Boruch's own bed surrounded by Rabbi Boruch and his followers.[2][4] He is thought to be buried in the old Jewish cemetery in Medzhybizh, though his grave is unmarked.

Hershele was the subject of several epic poems, a novel, a comedy performed in 1930 by the Vilna Troupe, and a US TV program in the 1950s.

Two illustrated children's books, The Adventures of Hershel of Ostropol, and Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins, have been published. Both books were written by Eric Kimmel and illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman.

A tale about him, When Hershel Eats- by Nathan Ausubel, was included in Joanna Cole's 1982 work, Best-Loved Folktales of the World.

In 2002, a play entitled Hershele the Storyteller was performed in New York City.

in 1999, Shari Aronson of Z Puppets Rosenschnoz <http://www.zpuppets.org> received permission from Eric Kimmel to adapt the book Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins for the stage. This adaptation has since been produced four times by MInnesota Jewish Theatre Company, with puppet by Chris Griffith winning a 2008 MN Ivey Award, and multiple times by Jewish Community Centers across the U.S.
Jester (Jane and the Dragon)

**Name**: Jester - he was named after his profession. Gunther thinks it must be embarrassing. In fact it's not - it's an interesting Roman name. Jester's family are travelling players, gypsies; originally from Italy. And one day Jester will reveal his true name to Jane.

**Age**: 14 years old

Like a lot of young men in the middle ages,

**Nicknames**: Dragon calls him Floppy Hat and Jingle Boy.

**Job description**: To entertain the Court with songs, jokes and riddles. Write ballads which record the great deeds of the Kingdom. Taste the food before the Royal family eat it. Help the castle staff with their duties.

**Ambition**: To see the world and write a magnificent ballad about his adventures.

**Song**: 'My tiny heart is broken.' A love ballad about a wilted lettuce that he wrote for Rake's last birthday.

**Pastime**: Collecting rare documents.

## History

The Jester arrived at the castle when he was seven years old. He was touring with his family of travelling players. The young boy was very clever; could dance, sing and play music - he could also read! He had outgrown his parent's ability to teach him so they asked the Court to take him into service. The King offered free tutoring and lodging for the position of Court Jester. Jester gets news about his family from other travellers and hopes that one day they will pass through the Kingdom again.
Jester (Oz)

**The Jester** is the main antagonist of the 2014 computer-animated film, *Legends Of Oz: Dorothy's Return*. He is the brother of The Wicked Witch of the West and Wicked Witch of the East.

He was voiced by the famous legendary actor, Martin Short, who also played The Appraiser in the same film, and Jack Frost from *Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause*.

## Background

When the Jester was just a young boy, he often tried to steal his sister's broom for himself. Not only that, but she also did terrible, repugnant, and abominable stuff to him. At some point, she placed a spell on him that prevents him from taking off the same outfit. Whenever he attempted to take it off, another one with different colors would appear each time. Even after her death, the spell remained intact.

## Personality

The Jester is shown to be pompous, conniving, psychopathic, and ruthless. He is a baleful, deceiving, manipulative, and villainous trickster who initially stole the Wicked Witch of the West's broomstick from Emerald City. He is very sarcastic, diabolical, and intelligent, so he enjoys playing with his marinette-prisioners. One of his most odious, repugnant, and disagreeable plans is when he dominates everything and all times to have everything he wants and does whatever he wants.

## Role in the film

After stealing the Wicked Witch of the West's broomstick from Emerald City, the Jester was seen at his castle talking to Glinda the Good Witch. He explained that he was cursed by his sister into being unable to take off his uniform. Attaching a magic orb to the broomstick so he could use its magic, the Jester turned Glinda into a puppet and locked her up in a glass case. The Jester had winged-monkeys invading Emerald City and kidnapped Lion, Tin Man, and Scarecrow and placed them in their separate torture chambers.

He changed the wooden signs, so that Dorothy and Wiser would get arrested for eating the illegal sweets. He also caused a destructive earthquake, which damaged Dainty China Country. Later, he led the gang into a huge waterfall with fake fireflies, which resulted in China Princess being broken. The Jester often abused his right-hand winged-monkey by strangling him and shrinking his wings. He even thanked Dorothy for unintentionally killing the Wicked Witch of the West out of pride.

During the final battle, the Jester created a purple tornado, which would destroy anything sucked into it, intending to kill Dorothy. Dorothy was able to take his broom and break his spell, after which she saved him from being sucked in, and he respectively offered her to rule Oz with him. Dorothy refused and smashed his orb before throwing the broomstick into the tornado. At this, the Jester lost his sanity by jumping in the tornado to get the broomstick back, and both he and the tornado vanished for good.

## Trivia

* During the climax of the film, while he was wearing face paint, he bears a minor resemblance to The Joker from the 2008 Batman film, *The Dark Knight*.
* Presumably, he is the second main antagonist of the series to be sucked by a tornado, first being his sister the Wicked Witch of the East.

Skomorokh

A skomorokh (скоморох in Russian, скоморохъ in Old East Slavic, скоморaхъ in Church Slavonic) was a medieval East Slavic harlequin, or actor, who could also sing, dance, play musical instruments and compose for oral/musical and dramatic performances. The etymology of the word is not completely clear.[1] There are hypotheses that the word is derived from the Greek σκώμμαρχος (cf. σκῶμμα, "joke"); from the Italian scaramuccia ("joker", cf. English scaramouch); from the Arabic masẋara; and many others.

The skomorokhs appeared in Kievan Rus no later than the mid-11th century, but fresco depictions of skomorokh musicians in the Saint Sophia Cathedral in Kiev date to the 11th century.

The Primary Chronicle on skomorokhs concurs with the period. The monk chronicler denounced them as devil servants. Furthermore, the Orthodox Church often railed against them and other elements of popular culture as being irreverent, detracting from the worship of God or being downright diabolical. For example Theodosius of Kiev, one of the co-founders of the Caves Monastery in the 11th century, called the skomorokhs "evils to be shunned by good Christians".[2] Their art was related and addressed to the common people and usually opposed the ruling groups, who considered them not just useless but even ideologically detrimental and dangerous by both the feudalists and the clergy.

They were persecuted in the years of the Mongol yoke, when the church strenuously propagated ascetic living. Its art reached its peak in the 15th to the 17th centuries. Their repertoire included mock songs, dramatic and satirical sketches, called glumy (глумы), performed in masks and skomorokh dresses to the sounds of domra, balalaika, gudok, bagpipes or buben (a kind of tambourine). The appearance of Russian puppet theatre was directly associated with skomorokh performances.

Skomorokhs performed in the streets and city squares, engaging with the spectators to draw them into their play. Usually, the main character of the skomorokh performance was a fun-loving saucy muzhik (мужик) of comic simplicity. In the 16 and 17th centuries, skomorokhs would sometimes combine their efforts and perform in a vataga (ватага, big crowd) numbering 70 to 100 people. The skomorokhs were often persecuted by the Russian Orthodox Church and civilian authorities.

In 1648 and 1657, Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich issued ukases banning skomorokh art as blasphemous, but actors would still occasionally perform during popular celebrations. In the 18th century, skomorokh art gradually died away; passing on some of its traditions to the balagans (ru) (балаган) and rayoks (раёк).
Motley

***Motley*** is the traditional costume of the court jester, fool, or the harlequin character in *commedia dell'arte*. The harlequin wears a patchwork of red, green and blue diamonds that is still[citation needed] a fashion motif.

The word motley is described in the Oxford English Dictionary as a cognate with medley, although the unrelated mottled has also contributed to the meaning. The word is most commonly used as an adjective or noun, but is also seen as a verb and adverb. When used as a noun, it can mean "*a varied mixture*". As an adjective, it is generally disparaging — a motley collection is an uninspiring pile of stuff, as in the cliche motley crew.

The word originated upon the birth of Hemmers in England between the 14th and 17th centuries and referred to a woolen fabric of mixed colours. It was the characteristic dress of the professional fool. During the reign of Elizabeth I, motley served the important purpose of keeping the fool outside the social hierarchy and therefore not subject to class distinction. Since the fool was outside the dress laws, the fool was able to speak more freely.

Likewise, motley did not have to be checkered and has been recently thought to be one pattern with different coloured threads running through it.
Cap ‘n’ bells

Cap ‘n’ bells is a type of fool’s cap, a cap with bells worn by a court fool or jester. Bells were also added to the dangling sleeves. The bells announced the appearance of the jester.

## Type

The cap and bells could be in the following forms with:

* “*Ass’s ears*” and an “*Ass’s tail*”, often curling forward
* *Horns*
* “*Cockscomb Crest*”
* *Royal Court Jester costume*
* *Bi–Color Coxcomb Cap*
* *Fool’s Cap and Masque*

Other forms of fool’s cap in England were shaped like a monk's cowl with ass’s ears, a high–pointed cap covered with bells, or a round cap with an imposing feather.

Roland the Farter

Roland the Farter (known in contemporary records as Roland le Fartere, Roulandus le Fartere or Roland le Petour) was a medieval flatulist who lived in twelfth-century England. He was given Hemingstone manor in Suffolk and 12 hectares (30 acres) of land in return for his services as a jester for King Henry II. Each year he was obliged to perform "Unum saltum et siffletum et unum bumbulum" (one jump, one whistle, and one fart) for the King's court at Christmas.

Roland is listed in the thirteenth century English Liber Feodorum (Book of Fees).
Archimime

An archimime is a chief buffoon or jester. Among the ancient Romans, archimimes were persons who imitated the manners, gestures, and speech both of the living and the deceased. At first, they were only employed in the theatre, but were afterwards admitted to their feasts, and at last to funerals. At funerals, archimimes walked behind the corpse, imitating the gestures and behaviors of the person being carried to the funeral pyre, as if they were still alive.
Nigel Roder

Nigel Roder (born 1967), also known professionally as Kester the Jester, was designated the official "State Jester" of England in 2004 by English Heritage. The prior jester of record, Muckle John, vacated the position shortly after his employer, King Charles I of England, was beheaded in 1649.

Roder was appointed by English Heritage after winning a jesting competition. Subsequently the Guild of Jesters complained through their spokesman, Jonathan the Jester, that English Heritage should not be allowed to use the title of State Jester. Several guild members also wrote to their MPs. After the question was raised in Parliament, Kester's title was amended to "English Heritage Jester".

Nigel Roder is currently working throughout the United Kingdom as an entertainer both in his jester role and as a teacher of circus skills workshops. He is one of the founders and regular trainers of the voluntary youth circus Concrete Circus (founded 2009).

Nigel has been referenced by two BBC quizzes. The Weakest Link (2005) in which he was mentioned as a question and QI (2014) in their 13th podcast.

Nigel Roder is on the Board of Directors of CircusWorks the network for youth circus in the UK. As part of this he has helped organise specialist workshops and the youth circus show at the British Juggling Conventions 2014 and 2015.
Chicot

Chicot (c. 1540—1591), real name Jean-Antoine d'Anglerais, was the jester of King Henry III of France and later Henry IV. He was sharp-tongued and very cunning, and spoke with the king without formalities.

## Biography

Chicot was born in Gascony in 1540. He had a strong military background, he served as a soldier under Honorat II of Savoy. He then served as a jester under King Henry III of France and then later Henry IV of France. He was the only known jester who led an active political and military life; he was allowed to carry a rapier, and he was also known for his skill with the blade.

This is how John L. Motley in his work History of the United Netherlands From the Death of William the Silent to the Twelve Years' Truce, 1609 describes his death during the campaign of 1591 of Henry IV against the army of Catholic League, 'They [i.e. Leaguers] were closely followed by Henry at the head of his cavalry, and lively skirmishes were of frequent occurrence. In a military point of view none of these affairs were of consequence, but there was one which partook at once of the comic and the pathetic. For it chanced that in a cavalry action of more than common vivacity the Count Chaligny found himself engaged in a hand-to-hand conflict with a very dashing swordsman, who, after dealing and receiving many severe blows, at last succeeded in disarming the count and taking him prisoner. It was the fortune of war, and, but a few days before, might have been the fate of the great Henry himself.

But Chaligny's mortification at his captivity became intense when he discovered that the knight to whom he had surrendered was no other than the king's jester! That he, a chieftain of the Holy League, the long-descended scion of the illustrious house of Lorraine, brother of the great Duke of Mercœur, should become the captive of a Huguenot buffoon, seemed the most stinging jest yet perpetrated since fools had come in fashion. The famous Chicot, who was as fond of a battle as of a gibe, and who was almost as reckless a rider as his master, proved on this occasion that the cap and bells could cover as much magnanimity as did the most chivalrous crest. Although desperately wounded in the struggle which had resulted in his triumph, he generously granted to the count his freedom without ransom. The proud Lorrainer returned to his Leaguers, and the poor fool died afterward of his wounds.'
Harle

Harle (ツクヨミ Tsukuyomi) is a harlequin jester. Harle works with Lynx against Serge and his party, as a gadfly who interferes with their efforts and frustrates Kid due to her constant flirting with Serge. She joins the party during Serge's body switch with Lynx, and leaves just before Serge returns to his body. It's eventually revealed that she was the "Dark Moon Dragon", actually working against Lynx to obtain the powerful Frozen Flame to exact havoc against humanity damaging activities to the planet. She fails in her mission, and her ultimate fate is left unclear. The game mentions, and Kato confirms in the game's Ultimania Guide, that Harle also shares a connection of sorts to Schala, though neither source explores the details of this.

Harle's speech is written with a French accent and is often interspersed with French words. Only one version of Harle, the "Alternate World" Harle, is present in the game.

Tricky slave

The tricky slave is a stock character. He is a clever, lower-class person who brings about the happy ending of a comedy for the lovers. He is more clever than the upper-class people about him, both the lovers and the characters who block their love, and typically also looking out for his own interests; in the New Comedy, the tricky slave or dolosus servus aimed to get his freedom by assisting his young master in love.

Besides the actual slaves of classical theater, he also appears as the scheming valet in Renaissance comedy, called the gracioso in Spanish. The zanni of Commedia dell'arte are often tricky slaves, as are Puss-in-Boots in Perrault's fairy tale, Jeeves in P. G. Wodehouse's work and Figaro.

In fairy tales, the same function is often fulfilled by fairy godmothers, talking animals, and like creatures.

Northrop Frye identified him as a central portion of the Myth of Spring comedy and a type of eiron character.

A female version of the tricky slave would be Morgiana, a clever slave girl from "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves" in the One Thousand and One Nights (Arabian Nights). She is initially in Cassim's household but on his death she joins his brother Ali Baba and through her quick wittedness she saves Ali's life many times and eventually kills his worst enemy, the leader of the Forty Thieves. As reward, Ali frees her and Morgiana marries Cassim's son.

In contrast to these positive depictions, the tricky slave is portrayed as the antagonist in another Arabian Nights tale, "The Three Apples", an early example of a murder mystery. After the murderer reveals himself near the middle of a story, he narrates the events leading up to the murder in a flashback. Within this flashback, a slave convinces him of his wife's infidelity, thus leading to her murder.
Gopal Bhar

## Authenticity

In early nineteenth century, Gopal Bhar's name was first mentioned in Bengali literature. It is often said that Gopal Bhar is a legendary personality. But a reference has found that there was a bodyguard of the king of Nadia, Raja Krishnachandra named Shankar Taranga who was given special status by the king for his courage and knowledge and probably gave rise to the legend of Gopal Bhar. There are many contradictory views regarding Gopal Bhar, whether he existed or not. Acharya Sukumar Sen (linguist) opined that the character Gopal is purely fictitious.

## Symptoms

A telltale sign of a Werewolf having Heterochroma is by them having two different colored eyes. Haru's left eye becomes blue when his Heterochroma activates.

Haru is seen to gain enhanced strength, speed, and ferocity when his Heterochroma is active, this may be in part due to the full moon, as it is said that the eyes of a werewolf with Heterochroma draw power from the full moon.
