Here are your seven suspects, rookies. Inspect them carefully, 'cause one of them is a killer!


Balthazar Crane
Bishop Crane's estranged younger brother and the black sheep of the Crane family. Many years ago Balthazar accused Bishop of turning their father against him, after he was disowned. Balthazar vowed revenge on his elder sibling, then left town and never came back... until now.


Brad Crane
The son of Bishop Crane, heir to the Crane family fortune and next in line to run Crane Games. Brad is a handsome, yet spoiled playboy, whose idea of work solely consists of working on his tan. Bishop long hoped to instill some responsibility into his only child, but in vain. So in effort to straighten him out, Brad's father recently cut off his allowance, which has made the younger Crane very unhappy.


Loretta Crane
Bishop Crane's bitter ex-wife. After more than three and a half decades of a marriage filled with infidelity, Loretta decided she'd had enough and filed for divorce. She thought she was having the last word, but the final insult was produced by Bishop's lawyers, in the form of a prenuptial agreement eliminating the possibility of alimony. A prenup that Loretta claims she never signed.


Lucy St. Clair
Bishop Crane's bubbly, beautiful, and much younger girlfriend. A ditzy blonde with more makeup than class, Lucy claims she and the old man were on the path of true love. Some have to wonder, though, if she wasn't just after his money.


Nathan Matsuyama
Bishop Crane's personal secretary. For three years Nathan has had the thankless task of being Mr. Crane's assistant. Living in the Crane mansion's servant's quarters, he has been subjugated to his boss' commands twenty-four hours a day. The proverbial whipping boy, some have wondered why Nathan hasn't simply quit. Some speculated that he couldn't.


Samantha Talbot
The CEO of Crane Games. A brilliant businesswoman, Samantha has long been at odds with her employer, Bishop Crane. He has continually shut down her ideas and stifled any attempts to grow the company. It has been known in recent months that Mr. Crane was using his influence over the board to pressure them into removing her from her position.


Ulrich Jacobs
Once a good friend to Bishop Crane, they have since become business rivals. Long ago Ulrich worked for Crane Games, but left to fulfill his dream of opening his own toy company. Bishop took this as a betrayal and never forgave him. Years later, Jacobs' company is now floundering and Crane has positioned himself for a hostile takeover.
