Theo
Can name every moon of Jupiter. Has.
Scholar — Knows a lot. Mentions it.
In their own words
“Did you know Jupiter has ninety-five moons?”
“This is just like a logic puzzle I did once.”
“I've got a theory. Several, actually.”
“Did you know the Thames once froze solid enough to hold a fair?”— in Victorian London, 1888
Characters’ asides never contain clues. In a case, only their statements count as evidence.
Case record
Theo has stood in 19 lineups so far, as a teacher, a air-traffic controller, a chemist, a trainer, a interpreter, a playwright and more. Whether they were guilty is something you’ll have to prove for yourself.

Track record
In the 18 cases old enough to have a published walkthrough, Theo turned out to be a criminal 7 times and innocent 11 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.
