Clues & Culprits › Rogues’ Gallery › Amir
Amir
Can sell sand in a desert and an alibi in a lineup.
Rogue — Lives on luck and charm. Mostly charm.
In their own words
“Let's keep this friendly. I like friendly.”
“I never forget a face. Or a favour.”
“Relax, detective. You look like you need a coffee.”
“A fine evening for it, wouldn't you say? For conversation, I mean.”— in Victorian London, 1888
Characters’ asides never contain clues. In a case, only their statements count as evidence.
