- Dear Detectives!
Trapped in a life of judgment, unblinded by conspiracies. Just a drop and justice will prevail! But who is to judge what her stained hands did?
Check out Clerk’s background video! Coming to the manor soon! - Hry
She’s talking to herself. Playing therapist and judge of her own actions, as she looks back in her past to analyze the morality of her decision.
Looking at it I don’t think she killed him. But rather is directly controlling him? It seems like she’s almost puppeteering him, with her quote of “obedience” and “sacrifice”. Perhaps that is a fate crueler than death.
@@kchandayco2372 she was poisoning him and nursing him back to health at the same time. Yes she was manipulating him but she also was killing him at the same time
@@sequoiaz Thats scary 😦
@@sequoiaz Thank you! That makes a lot of sense. It’s really interesting to have a character that is both self-aware while still having a seemingly iron-clad conviction on their view of justice, you don’t see that often with characters like her since there usually too stubborn or arrogant even. It’s actually kinda refreshing, In the Chinese version you can hear her heavy breathing at the final scene which adds to the detail of the papers suddenly being scattered, like she had just slammed her fist or pushed them of the table in rage. Then trying to collect and reassure herself. She’s acting as a clerk and recounting her life and actions trying to judge them, someone who had decided and committed something immoral in the pursuit of justice in a corrupt system, who is that person to be in charge of judging others. That’s what I imagine is her thought process. Gah I’m so excited for when she comes out! She’d be terrifying to see in game chase after you. Will she bonk survivors with her cane?
@@kchandayco2372 yeah she couldn't kill him since she'd loose control that way.
I love how her voice distorted in the ending. Gives her an evil vibe.
Also, the plot twist of her actually talking to her younger self was *chef kiss*
I FCKIN LOVE HER
It wasn't distorted, it was actually just overlapping the voice of her younger self with the voice of her older self (indicating that they're the same person)
That "IT AIN'T OVER UNTIL THE FAT LADY SINGS" Quote drop is so powerful
I ain't got no sleep because of you all you never gone sleep because of me
This hunter gon be the coolest one i hope
Ikr? Imma fangurl to her quote (≧∇≦) so girlboss material 💕💕
@@DendengBalado34 fun fact: The first recorded use of the phrase “it’s not over till the fat lady sings” is believed to be from Ralph Carpenter in the newspaper Dallas Morning News, March 1976. To give context for the following quote, a basketball game was being played and the score was tied.
@@DaVinkiidv bad girls club season 2 right ? Tanisha was the one who sing that song XD
She looks like an evil math teacher,I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER
Hope you turned in your homework
@@SharkGuyLikesLemons I..i didn't do my homework 😨
extremely agree
She looks somewhat modern too? Like her story takes place between late 1800s and early 1900s
😂😂or history teacher 😂😂😂😂😂
i love her, she really gives little nightmares vibe and is actually scary looking!
True
That’s why I love her sm
Ikr and I love both games 😭💜
GLAD IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT THIS
interesting thing to point out: in the english version she says her iconic line "it ain't over till the fat lady sings" but in the chinese version the final line is actually "only i can wipe out all the injustice"
Wonder why they changed it so much 🤔 perhaps that has some connections something with her skills?
@@delusionaleks I think perhaps because ppl in China are not too familiar with the proverb so it won’t make much sense?
@@user-nq9ir7jp2z Oh it's a proverb? Either of those languages aren't my first, I didn't knew. I mean that could've been it, although even without context it makes sense
Kind of the same thing actually...
she's not above vigilantism (since she chose to punish her corrupt brother for his crimes her own way) but she is against the lies and the corrupt ways of the elites + the consequent injustices the less fortunate had to suffer and that doesn't really make her pure evil imo, I think she's more like a misunderstood tragic character.
Clerk has one of the best backstory in Identity V, about the equality that didn't and still doesn't exists between women and men, what society expects women to be and do and justice that never exists.
tell me any inequality that women still suffer?
@@shamshel0127 u rn, believing sexism doesnt exist today
@@shamshel0127 open your eyes a lil bit and you'll find a ton
Eh? The one that i got is that injustice from poor vs rich who can just bribe the judges.
@@NoxVexthat too, in short, intersectionality
Since she's talking to her younger self, and her younger self has button eyes, this may rumour that she attended Oletus Manor in exchange for what she's pursuing. Like Joker, his Hunter is physically older, but how they become hunters or how they were assumed as hunters as seen during the Time for Union arc is still a mystery.
@@burgermeighstermeighsterbu1168 It was quite obvious that she was recalling about herself in third person.
In her pink dress she looks like minds eye
But everyone is seen with button eyes on the dining table scene
Her past version doesn’t actually have button eyes. Its hard to tell because of her glasses. But if you look closely. Especially at 0.30. She ACTUALLY has real eyes! It’s really interesting!
Her younger self didn’t have button eyes. but oddly, everyone else did
She risked her cute, attractive face to get rejected by the man who was at by her parents to marry her just so she could climb her way up to Justice and to do what she wants while "taking care" of her brother and "taking" his place . DAMN SHE'S GIRLBOSS I LOVE HER ALREADY!
Her methods of justice is distorted but she is right though, I'd vote for her on election any day. I trust her judgement more than anyone at this point.
She lowkey gives Margaret Thatcher vibe ngl
Finally a female hunter that does look scary we didn’t see one since Ann and Spider
sculptor???
@@mdc7108 majority of the idv fandom doesn't see sculptor as scary moreover cute
@@evelynn3329 bruh the fandom thinks luccino and violonist are cute
@@mdc7108 sculptor is absolutely not scary she looks cute tbh her skin makes her even more human and beautiful
@@mdc7108 they actually think Luchino and Toni are hot
She is the one who interviewed every players that came to the manor. She seems to know Nightmare and associates with him for a long time because the poison she used on her brother has similar label to those drugs we found during Time of Reunion event. Maybe she's one of his helpers like Bruke and Bane.
It might be implied that she is one the hunters that are still alive like Mad Eyes and Guard 47 since she was the one who interviewed the Ripper while he was still alive.
How can you consider this hunter "bad"? His brother was paid by the rich to guarantee them judicial protection and the poor people who could not defend themselves paid the consequences !! This scene breaks my heart 0:43- 0:50. Obviously poisoning someone is terrible especially if the person in question is a family member but here sacrifice for the good ... queen I respect it !!
To be fair, most hunters arent even inherently """evil""" in nature. Most of them were wronged/seek revenge or some shit, with the exception of a few of them like Ripper, the 2 demigods, etch.
But anyways, Clerk is a girlboss and I rest my case 😌
oof I didn't even really think about what happened in this scene 0:42, but her brother was really a corrupt piece of shhh, WOW! I understand her motives even better now, thanks for pointing out who her brother was.
Definitely a false-antagonist
gotta remember that:
1.) in the story it's revealed that people are getting drugged, so it's likely that their common sense gets warped during matches
2.) lmfao have you seen most of the survivors' backstories? a hunter who will not let any form of injustice get away is something they should fear
How can you say you're defending justice when you're KILLING someone
So if my understanding is right, she poison her own brother cause he is corrputed by taking moneys from those who bribe him, making many people who lost the case agains corrupted people that are the true criminal, so his sister had to take matter into her own hands in order to give justice to people that really needed, by poisoning her brother drinks, so shes not evil and thinks shes doing what is right and what really is justice means right ?
i dont know if it was ur intention, but u summarised that really well and i didnt really understand the backstory so thank u
@@indubitablydead7834 your welcome, it took me a while to think since her lore and offical picture was update by Exilo , and with this story i can finally day that it was right
Thats a really good summary of the video, when she appears in the game, we can learn more abouth her with her deductions. 😅
Well yes and no, because we also learned from posts by the social media accounts that basically the power went to her head, and she was determined to keep her brother teter-tottering on the edge of life and death so that she could continue to take his place as judge, since if he were to die they would just find a new judge and not actually make her the new official one, but only because she was a woman and the time period it’s based on women weren’t seen as capable of holding such positions permanently.
@@MopsyDoo I see, thanks for the info
A thing I love about IDV is how most of the hunters are victims in some way, or have understandable-if twisted-motives, while most of the survivors are arguably villainous, if not selfish, greedy, etc--with exceptions, like Robbie for the hunters and Memory or Helena for the survivors.
I LOVE HER VOICE- i was expecting the extremely posh kind of british, like "JUSTICE must bE PrrrrrrESERVED" BUT NO!!!
SHE'S IRISH!
I LOVE HER ACCENT SO MUCHHHHH
Ikr! What a queen!!! We don't just need Physical beauty to like a new character especially female hunters! Her dreams,story,voice, personality are lovely
It's irish
I find myself coming back to this sometimes because it’s honestly really powerful 😭
Omg love her voice reallly suits her character im in love with her xD
no one can tell me that this is not the best backstory idv has ever created
there will always be that one person in the replies though..
I LOVE HER, She’s so unique and her story is very interesting. Can’t wait to see her gameplay, so far she’s giving me big Tim Burton vibes which I love!
I just love the entire vibe of this backstory video, and Keigan's voice is soothing af to hear despite how distorted it can get, ugh another win win for the girlbosses
Probably the best background story we've got.
I love how she talks to her past-self and when everything star to change,bad things happen, she closely becoming her present-self 😆
"IT AIN'T OVER TIL THE FAT LADY SINGS" that was a powerful line
THE NEW BOSS LADY DROPPED EVERYONE
She sounds irish/scottish and im living for it rn
It's Irish, Scottish would have more rising inflections and she would be fuckin' more mad than elegant.
@@sireawfulthe1st291 hah, yeah. now that i think about it i cant imagine her screaming "GET BACK HERE LADDIE!" at survivors
@@ankabanka566 Her most powerful ability would be her drinking a pint of rum and then dashing around the map while singing rocky roads to dublin
@@sireawfulthe1st291 let's not forget the uncontrollable drunken swearing
bro i hate how twitter keeps shitting on her. come on look at her she’s so interesting and clever (judging by the fact she takes advantage of her brother’s poor health that she kinda caused to give herself power, thats kinda a girlboss move). I still wonder how hunters become hunters, especially when most dont even have evil backstories and only tragic ones, but the Clerk has a somewhat evil story and i wonder how she became hunter as well
Well what do u expect it's twitter tho... they're bunch of shtty cry babies who only know how to complain about every single thing
it’s because she isn’t attractive or cute like geisha or sculptor
She isn't evil, but twisted. She did what she thought was right and was willing to take responsibility for it.
I don't think taking advantage of someone is very nice honestly.
@@manwithalongnose8819 that is what makes her an interesting character
I like how her backstory is about equality for women and all gender,God shes so powerful
I fucking love her voice-
I love IDV's storytelling! The characters talking about their past in a vague way, accompanied by the visuals. I love there way of "Show more, less telling"
If I understand correctly, she disagreed with her brother's corrupt ways, so she poisoned him and took control of him to preserve justice! But, I'm still wondering how she got this look, the difference from before to the current one is very drastic.
I think there was a post on twitter that she was supposed to be married to a man but she didn't want to lose her freedom so she ate a lot of food and the man rejected her so basically allowing her to keep her freedom
The story also tells that when she was young she thought there was equality because she could express herself freely at the dinner table just like her brothers. But as she grew up, when her brothers went to law school, she was asked to be a “lady” and learn to be a good wife. In order to rid herself of an arranged political marriage, she intentionally got fat so that the other side would not choose her. Then she went on to work for her brother and the story goes on as you described.
I absolutely love her because she actually took action to fight back when facing misfortune and unfairness while she was still alive, unlike most other female hunters. Also, I love the fact that she is not beautiful, even intentionally made herself ugly, to show that beauty is not the only good quality of a woman.
Samee!! I can't wait for her to get released soon :D
She altered her appearance on purpose because she hated the man her father arranged her to marry.
She purposely chose to be "ugly" so she could have freedom
@@yifeichen9131 clerk is still alive look her eyes
they better not make her abilities shit..i love her
Her abilities make her have one of the greatest map pressures in the game. She can block off ciphers, exit gates and windows as well with her recordings. She can see through the ciphers and the exit gates which allows her to use her recording abilities from a distance and still be able to move. Her pallet reversal is useful for having an unobstructed chase towards Survs. And the fact that her recordings apply a debuff on Survs is 👌👌👌
Finally!!! Shes an icon to me! He backstory relates to me so much.. N yeah i am a plus size person.. Shes gonna be my main.. So goodbye pretty Mary.. Cant wait for her skills's showcase in the test server.
is it just me or does her kid version look a lot like minds eye? helena also has a costume named "clerk"🤔 maybe they're going to make her helenas hunter identity in the future
Helena was born blind and her story is total different
Helena is at the manor to put for collage debt pretty much, she was allowed to go to school. So I highly doubt they’re the same person.
@@dns.63 I know, it was just a theory and I believe the identity v devs are creative enough to come up with a story that would explain how the clerk and minds eye are connected or the same if they wanted to. comic books for example like to play with the idea of alternate timelines and parallel dimensions, to name one possible explanation that I can think of right now.
Helena is blind, the clerk seems only have some sort of myopia, and the history is different from mind's eye history
@@axelleenan3801 might be Helena is a personality of clerk,blind meaning clerk was deceived by her family in childhood.
Love her! Most idv characters really are so interesting
She's a literal queen, she did the right thing.
I want to save up for her, shes pretty and cool!
Uhhh cool yes but pretty?
@@fenrys_baskerville yes pretty!!!
@@fenrys_baskerville pretty!
@@rimiballzzz9757 okaay ain't gonna judge your tastes😐
@@fenrys_baskerville beauty is different from each prospective so that everyone could be pretty ❤️
Finally! I was waiting for your animated story!
wowww!! i haven’t played idv in a whole but this character seems really cool
true and same
She’s so cool! I can’t wait to see what her abilities are!
OH MY GOD, I LOVE HER ALREADY.
idv is back to being a horror game
It is currently a mystery visual novel (Crystal Palace event)
interesting how her brother was the one who destroyed kreacher pierson's orphanage
Ohhhh! How didyou catch that?
@@rinlodari4836 i think its because at 0:49 the man behind that was held by the guards does looks like kreacher
@@ZikNH that’s true
@@ZikNH awwwww that sad. Kreacher one of the most tragic good intentioned people who fell into bad shape.
Yesss, she is the icon, she is the legend, she is the moment slayyyy
SHES SO COOL IM SCREAMING... might start playing idv again for her ngl....
HER YOUNG VERSION MIGHT BECOME HER ONCE SKIN
It would be cool if the thief and lawyer and the clerk were all connected in someway.
Doesn't explain how she has such outstanding bazonkers
Do you wonder why Leo, Percy and Bane have big Bazongers? I don't think so
SHIT THAT ENDING IS SICK
Friendship ended with mary now clerk is my best friend
that's actually so cool?? i loved this background story and i like her so far. i wonder what abilities will she have
She’s so amazingly pleasing to me, and it makes me very curious on her abilities
I love her evil vibes. She’s not just pretty or ugly like the others
Shes not evil ,shes an instrument of justice that defends equality 💖
I LOVE HER PAST SELF ACCENT, it's very beautiful
Her voice sounds so nice I swear.
What a stunning hunter! Doing bad but for good intention! Cant wait to see what's next
The VA is amazing. I keep rewatching this over and over.
Her overall character and design reminds me of Little nightmare
this was IDV's peak, full stop
smh this gives me goosebumps 😭😭😭 coolllllll 🥺✨
Dang even the own creator called her fat
I LOVE HER SM
Seeing how Lani Minella voiced her, I can somehow see Nancy Drew doing something like this
literally the best hunter and background story to this day
I REALLY LOVE THIS HER VOICE HER ACCENT THE ANIMATION THE STORY EVERYTHING😭😭👍👍
I can’t wait to play her omg 👀👀👀
OMGG SO HYPED FOR HER!! HOPING HER SKILLS ARE EASY TO MASTER SO I CAN MAYBE MAIN HER, WHAT A GIRLBOSS!!
THIS IS SUCH A MASTERPIECE !!
SHE'S SO PRETTY I LOVE HER
What.....
SHE IS FUCKING AMAXING I LOVE HER
Now we talking , finally some horror theme in idv.
Her voice shift gave some strong alice madness returns nostalgia
I'M SCREAMING I LOVE THIS
Keigans brother is a corrupt lawyer, so is the survivor lawyer, i have feeling IDV devs don't like lawyers
She reminds me of the game The Nightmare, she's like between The Teacher and The Twin Chef
if keigan has million number of fans i am one of them. if keigan has ten fans i am one of them. if keigan has no fans. that means i am no more on the earth. if world against keigan, i am against the world.
So, from what I got from the video, Ms. Keogh was born with a strong sense of justice. Even as a child, she would talk about current cases and trials at dinner and voice her own just opinions about them. However she was the only one in her family that harbors a good (if any) sense of justice. Her father was a corrupt and greedy judge who would deliver a “not guilty” verdict without question nor remorse, should the price be right and one of her brothers was a clerk who can and will forges false records for the proper amount of money. Under the judge’s gold seeking eyes, criminals had been let free while innocent people rot in jail. One day, Ms Keogh decided that enough is enough and poison her brother in order to take his place as clerk. After all, there are times when one must be bad in order to achieve the greater good.
Urghh, I love this! If I saw that running at me with a stick I would be crying and screaming. It’s perfect!
OK BUT IDV AND THEIR TRAILERS JUST IMPROVED SO MUCH I LOVE HER CHARACTER
THE ACCENT IM CRYING ITS SO AMAZING I LOVE HER
THE SHADING IS SO GOOD WHAT THE HELL
THE COLORS THE TONE EVERYTHING IT'S SO PERFECT LOOK HOW MUCH THEY IMPROVED
I love the animations
She lost herself in the definition of “justice”
I LOVE HER SM WHAT A QUEEN
I'm very happy with the positivity in the comments so far,, there are some icks here and there but im actually very surprised its not worse
Jesus christ I like her. Powerful and demanding. She knows what she wants and won't stop till she gets it.
1:12 I AINT GET NO SLEEP CUZ OF YALL YOUR LIFE AINT GET NO SLEEP CUZ OF ME
I see you everywhere
OMGGG I love that “well, well”
This trailer gave me chills! I’m looking forward to getting back into IDV and trying to obtain her.
I don't know why but Clerk reminds me of Tim Burton's style
PLEASE IMAGINE IF THERE'S RESIDENT EVIL CROSSOVER!?! MA'AM SHE IS GOING TO BE LADY DIMITRESCU?!
THIS THIS OMG I AGREED
Had the exact same idea a while ago!
I always imagine Mary would be Lady Dimitrescu but damn the Clerk would change everything
honestly out of all of the hunters, i feel like she could be a survivor. her actions arnt bad in a sense.. yes she posioned her bother and assumingly used him as a puppet to take justice into her own hands but at the same time her brother was corrupt and miss used his power
1:11 i got goosebumps
What if she was a distant aunt of minds eye since she claimed she has "brothers" could be a reason why minds eye and her look so similar. Could also explain the intellectual inheritance. [This is just a theory]
I STAN HER OMG
Finally something creepy
I LOVE HER I CANT WAIT FOR HER TO COME OUT AAAA
Omg I can’t wait for her to come out!!!
Ok, so Vera and Clerk kill their sister/brother, and Joseph and Phillipe lost their brother/sister... This is pattern where the women in game kills their relatives, and the men at game had their relatives dead xD
