Taikomochi, Ice Clown

Taikomochi, a.k.a. the Ice Clown, is a hitman and hired muscle for the circus mafia. In his many years as a picciotto he is said to have subdued many rebellous circus animals, circus owner and circus tents, bringing them back into the loving yet choking embrace of the circus mafia.

His favourite methods of enforcing both his and his masters' will is to tell horrendous jokes, or to craft explosive umbrellas and bow-ties, then gifted to the unaware victims.

He has been employed for many years by Madame Oda, a don in the Mammamia criminal family, and by her orders has shadowed a promising rising star, Kirale, protecting her from rival families, hoping to induct her into the syndicate as soon as her moral compass would be schewed enough.

Alas for him, that day never came, since he was mortally wounded by a rival family while performing the Double-death-kick-roll-back-yadayadaydaya-jump. Few know, however, that he was saved by Oda who preserved him in ice for many years; when RAD came knocking at her door, demanding a flawless hitman, she released Taikomochi, now embued by the power of both evil and ice.
