Background

Twisty was literally dropped on his head as a baby, resulting in minor mental disability. He left Jupiter to work as a clown with Rusty Westchester's Traveling Carnival. Jealous of his popularity, the carnival's freaks (led by two cruel dwarfs) spread the lie that he is molesting children. He is no longer able to find work as a clown (though this doesn't stop him from wearing the costume and makeup) and he returns to Jupiter to build novelties from garbage scrap. Upon his return to Jupiter, he finds that his alcoholic mother has died. Efforts to sell his "whirlygigs" to the local toy store are met first by disinterest and then fear at his crazed desperation and rage against the rumors of his past. Despondent, he blows off his lower jaw with a shotgun in an attempted suicide. He then decides to make the children love him again and keep them "safe" from their parents.[1]

Personality and Appearance

Twisty wears a frightful grinning mask which serves as a prosthesis over his missing jaw, a filthy clown suit, and carries a sack that holds his juggling pins.

Twisty is a kidnapper and serial killer. His purported motivation (as he revealed to the ghost Edward Mordrake) is to save children from their mean, chore-giving, candy-denying parents. Though some of his murders (i.e. the toy store owner) are likely more personal.
