Clues & Culprits › Rogues’ Gallery › Lionel
Lionel
Fourteenth of his name. Owns a castle with a leak.
Noble — Old money, new scandal.
In their own words
“One rather expected a chaise longue.”
“My ancestors would be appalled. Mostly by the lighting.”
“Do carry on. One is used to waiting.”
“The roof of my castle leaks. My alibi does not.”— in Victorian London, 1888
Characters’ asides never contain clues. In a case, only their statements count as evidence.

Track record
In the 23 cases old enough to have a published walkthrough, Lionel turned out to be a criminal 11 times and innocent 12 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.
