Alex the Clown

Alex the Clown is the alias of a high-ranking member of Jokers at Large (JATL), an extremist Clown Rights terrorist group. Little is known about their life before joining JATL, but evidence suggests that Alex (real name unknown) was born into a small town somewhere in central or eastern Europe. According to JATL sources, Alex had, from a young age, been fascinated by Coulric livestock. At some point during their adolescence, they developed a belief that the usage of Mimes and Clowns is cruel and a violation of their rights, rather than an intrinsically necessary part of the life of domestic Clouradates: a belief which is shared by their group's members.

Exactly when Alex joined JATL is unknown, but they are widely credited with the group's shift in method from peaceful protests to directly stealing clowns. Where JATL takes Clowns following their clownnapping is a source of wide discussion, with some even suggesting that the JATL functions as a front organization for an illegal Clown-trafficking operation.

Alex the Clown first came to public attention following the September 2nd Raid of the Prague Clown Zoo. During this dramatic affair, Alex managed to sneak into an exhibit of semi-dangerous Mimes by using facepaint to disguise themself as a mime. They then proceeded to loose the Mimes into the zoo. Multiple injuries occurred in the initial panic, all of which were results of trampling. The escaped Mimes exited the Zoo and escaped into nearby woodlands with the aid of JATL forces. The current location of the mimes is unknown.

According to EU law, JATL is officially categorized as a hybrid loosely-organized ecoterrorist organization; Interpol offers an 80,000€ bounty for any information leading to the arrest of Alex. While JATL informants say that they are "generally hesitant to use violence", conflict between the JATL and Clown Securement Forces has resulted in fatalities on at least three occasions.
