Clues & Culprits › Rogues’ Gallery › Gus
Gus
Rates every crime scene by its catering.
Cook — Rules a kitchen. Feeds everyone. Trusts no one with the knives.
In their own words
“Has anyone eaten? I could eat.”
“You can tell a lot about a place by its bread.”
“I'd confess to anything for a decent croissant.”
“Has anyone eaten? There's a pie shop round the corner.”— in Victorian London, 1888
Characters’ asides never contain clues. In a case, only their statements count as evidence.
Case record
Gus has stood in 19 lineups so far, as a baker, a chef, a champagne caterer, a café cook, a estate chef, a cook and more. Whether they were guilty is something you’ll have to prove for yourself.

Track record
In the 14 cases old enough to have a published walkthrough, Gus turned out to be a criminal 6 times and innocent 8 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.
Often in the same lineup as
Hana (15 cases) · Mabel (14 cases) · Ezra (12 cases) · Jasper (12 cases)
Other cooks
