Picture the Joker from the Batman comics (though not
in appearance) without the overwhelming homicidal tendencies, and you
have the Dark Jester.
Darkjoye pretty much does what he wants, when he wants, and damn
the repercussions. This leads many to believe he is silly,
impulsive or even stupid. But while his methods are chaotic at
best there is always a hint of a method to his madness.
During Gods Fall he survived largely because of his
unpredictability, changing sides at the most opportune times,
reaping the benefits and later denying any duplicity. Hastur
several times fell victim to the Mad Clown's defections and it is
a source of serious contention, at least on Hastur's part.
Darkjoye has long since forgotten the incidents.
He makes little effort to maintain relationships with any of
his fellow deities, though he and Syth are at least cordial (and
at one time rumored to be lovers). He takes particular pleasure in
pulling tricks and pranks on what he calls the 'Old Fogey's Club'
(Aldamar, Beroth, Illuvatar and Thempys), though he is careful not
to get Thempys to angry or excited.
Several times Barrakis has tried to wrest the Lies portfolio from
him, but thus far the Dark Jester has thwarted him. |
