Hugo
Will bet on anything, including this lineup.
Rogue — Lives on luck and charm. Mostly charm.
In their own words
“Five says I'm out of here by dinner.”
“I know when to hold them. I know when to fold them.”
“Luck's a lady. She owes me money.”
“Five shillings says I'm home before midnight.”— in Victorian London, 1888
Characters’ asides never contain clues. In a case, only their statements count as evidence.
Case record
Hugo has stood in 36 lineups so far, as a understudy, a smuggler, a animal smuggler, a lobbyist, a visitor, a photographer and more. Whether they were guilty is something you’ll have to prove for yourself.

Track record
In the 36 cases old enough to have a published walkthrough, Hugo turned out to be a criminal 15 times and innocent 21 times. Roughly what you would expect by chance: a past record is never evidence in Clues & Culprits. Today’s and yesterday’s cases are left out so nothing is spoiled.
