“ I watched from the trees as a crack appeared at the doorway and a warm, golden light spilled forth into this desolate place. The effect was, I suspect, deliberately inviting, but the figure that emerged was anything but: its costume a hodge-podge of ringmaster, clown and other fairground attire. Its face was a nightmare in greasepaint, a caricature of a smile slashed across its flabby lips. At its waist were a collection of what looked for all the world like fingers. But what creature would be so monstrous as to collect such trophies? „ ~ A unknown figure on The Clown.

**Kenneth Chase**, also known as **Jeffrey Hawk** or **The Clown**, is one of the playable killers in *Dead by Daylight*.

He is voiced by Sébastien Duval.

## Biography

Kenneth Chase was born in 1932, with his mother dying in childbirth being the cause for his father to grow distant towards him. This, combined with his lack of much success in school and him not joining any sport group offering him to join, made him strange and possibly influenced his habits. Kenneth did one hobby, however, as he collected feathers he found on his way home for school, being mesmerized by the texture and unity of them. Longing to feel how soft a bird is, he rigged a trap in his bird feeder to touch one himself. However, as he held the knocked out bird in his hand, a murderous urge came over him and he killed the creature, keeping a feather from it. As he grew, Kenneth escalated his prey to larger animals such as dogs and raccoons as he worked as a busboy.

Once a man went missing (assumingly killed by Kenneth) and Kenneth's father discovered his box of feathers, paws, and a finger, Kenneth ran off to join the circus, adopting the name Jeffery Hawk to disguise himself. Adopting a charming façade, The Clown travelled around the circus and experimented with various vices, such as alcohol, junk food, and drugs. However, he eventually got into his habits of murder again, fashioning disguises to lure in victims to torture and kill them. He would always keep a finger from their bodies when it was all said and done. Eventually, a victim escaped as his sadistic habits were found out. He escaped, then tagging along with circuses and carnivals in his guise as another clown looking for victims.

Eventually, he vanished into The Entity's realm and stayed there, at home in the nightmarish place.
