"The circus has two types of clowns, the smiling clown who brings joy and the crying clown who drowns himself in sorrow. Joker was tired of his role, so he gave himself a permanent smile."

Joker, or Smiley Face, is one of 22 Hunters currently featured in Identity V .
Background[ | ]
Joker was once the star of the circus. His naturally sullen face made him the best crying clown. However, the advantage changed when the handsome smile clown Segi and the glamorous acrobat and actress Natalie joined the circus, and Joker realized it's time for him to change his "professional track". Obviously, after getting his eternal smile, Joker can go nuts in new comedy shows.
