List of Cluedo characters

The board game Cluedo, Clue in North America, and the associated 1985 film Clue, contains six murder suspects, all of whom survived into the final 2002 edition of the game. They typically represent "types," or stock characters, of European and American high society, as typified in the murder mysteries pioneered by Agatha Christie. The characters have also become stock types in pop culture. In addition to the basic enduring six characters, numerous variations of the original characters have been introduced for spin-off games and international versions. Several new official characters have since been introduced by Waddington's, Parker Bros, and Hasbro for various spin-off games and other licensed media as well. With the addition of the new characters, they were also given elaborate backgrounds for the first time, greatly expanding the Cluedo canon and establishing an often complex and contradictory chronology with each update to the game and new media production.

Victim

Dr. Black/Mr. Boddy

Dr. Black (UK)/Mr. Boddy (US) is the owner of Tudor Close (later Tudor Manor and Tudor Hall), who takes the stock character of a generic victim. In Cluedo, he is the unseen host who is murdered, which inspires the premise to discover who murdered him, with what implement, and where the crime scene took place in his mansion. Dr. Black was listed in the original patent filing as one of the 10 characters created for the game, in which one character was randomly drawn from the suspect cards to serve as the new victim prior to the start of each game. Therefore, the victim was never intended to be the same character each game, nor were the player assignments. However, prior to the publication of the first edition, Dr. Black was relegated to the role of permanent victim in the UK, and Mr. Boddy in North America.

Of course, the name Mr. Boddy is a pun on the fact that the character has become a 'dead body.'

In the board game

Classic Detective Game: In all original versions of Cluedo and Clue, Dr. Black/Mr. Boddy is stated to have been the victim of foul play. His body is found at the bottom of the cellar stairs by Miss Scarlet. Aside from being murdered, his role in the standard games ends here. Dr. Black makes his first appearance in a board game on the box cover of the 1996 Cluedo edition, as a photograph in a newspaper. He appears as an older, sombre man with unkempt hair.

Master Detective: Though once again unseen, Boddy's character is slightly more fleshed out through the descriptions on the playing cards. From most of the info gathered, Mr. Boddy collects memoirs of famous spies as well as art, had an ex-secretary by the name of Madame Rose and supposedly has painted an exotic beauty several times in his Studio.

2002 US: Wealthy anthropologist, Mr. John Boddy, died just short of his 30th birthday. He had often been nicknamed Dr. Black in reference to his more well-known uncle, Sir Hugh Black.

Cluedo/Clue Mysteries: Dr. Black makes only his second appearance in this game, his first as Mr. Boddy. He is drawn as a young, cheerful man wearing a trench-coat and glancing at his pocket-watch. For the first time, he is a player as well as a victim of a crime, though no one is murdered in this game.

Discover the Secrets: Mr. Boddy/Dr. Black is completely replaced with an unnamed and unseen millionaire mogul.

Clue the Card Game Mystery at Sea: In this spinoff of the board games on a yacht, Mr. Boddy appears for the second time only, in an unfinished portrait as a distinguished older gentleman, wearing a Van dyke beard and a monocle. He is not, however, relegated to the role of the obligatory corpse, but may instead, with the luck of the draw, play as a suspect.

The Classic Mystery Game: Still a millionaire, this reclusive character now has the name of Samuel Black, and oversees an organization established to protect the world's secrets.

In film, television, books and computer games

Clue the Movie: Mr. Boddy appears for the first time ever, played by Lee Ving. Mr. Boddy is the ultrapatriotic McCarthy supporter and blackmailing owner of the mansion, now titled Hill House. Contrary to the image of the suave playboy or dignified doctor offered in previous incarnations, this Boddy is a stereotypical wise guy with slicked back hair and designer stubble who dresses in solid black.

Convinced that the six main characters are "all thoroughly un-American," he has been blackmailing them for some time. The motive for his murder, therefore, was to stop the blackmail. However, his plan backfires, and he is shot with the revolver in the study. Or was he? Later, his body appears a second time with candlestick wounds. He is killed by different suspects in each of the endings, but always with the candlestick in the hall. In the film's third ending, it is revealed that the mansion's butler Wadsworth (Tim Curry) is the real Mr. Boddy, and that Mr. Boddy is actually his butler, the two men having assumed one another's identities in order to draw out would-be assassins. Shortly after this revelation, the real Mr. Boddy pulls a gun on his guests and holds them hostage, but is shortly thereafter shot and killed by Mr. Green, who reveals himself as an FBI agent sent to infiltrate and break-up Boddy's extortion ring.

Clue the VCR Game: Mr. Boddy is already dead before the events in the video occur. The gathering revolves around his death and the reading of the will he left behind. The first will stipulates that the last surviving guest in the house will win his fortune. After the guests nearly kill each other, the will is burnt. Turns out, Boddy had a second will that lists off individuals who are guaranteed a share of the case. When it seems like Sgt. Gray and Miss Peach would be left out, Monsieur Brunette, Boddy's lawyer had attached a false codicil that indicated that fortune should go to his last surviving relative. Miss Peach, who is in on the plan, fraudulently reveals herself to be daughter of Boddy, until Boddy's ex-flame Mrs. White gets suspicious. Finally, Boddy had stashed away a third will that stated his fortune would go to the individual who could uncover the most secrets. In the end, the guests are driven mad to the point of attempting to kill each other. Needless to say, the wills were as insane as Boddy himself; a trait shared with his sister Madame Rose, and his son Sgt. Grey.

Book series: In the book series, Mr. Reginald Boddy is a well-meaning but incredibly naive billionaire playboy. The suspects are all his "friends," a small group of close-knit yet antagonistic opportunists who remain close to Boddy in hopes of exploiting his friendship for financial and material gain. Boddy is aware of his "friends'" greed, but in his naivete writes it off as simply being a part of their colourful personalities. At the end of every book, one of them attempts to murder him; in the next book, an outlandish excuse is offered, which Boddy readily accepts, no matter how far-fetched or unlikely.

Fatal Illusion: Mr. Alexander Boddy makes a rare visual appearance in the computer game, Fatal Illusion. He plays the role of the antagonist who disguises himself as the eccentric billionaire, Ian Masque. At the end of the game, he is pushed off a cliff by his ex-accomplice Mr. Green.

Reverend/Mr. Green

"Mr. Green" redirects here. For the soft drink, see SoBe Mr. Green.

The character of Green has been given two different personas in the Cluedo world. Originally patented as The Rev. Mr. Green, in Britain, he is Reverend Green, a hypocritical vicar who weakens when it comes to the Sixth commandment, murder. In North America, he is Mr. Green, who has taken many money-oriented roles from mobster to businessman. Parker Brothers insisted on the name change as they thought the American public would object to a parson being a murder suspect.[1] He rolls fourth in the game.

In the board game

Master Detective: Mr. Thallo Green is clearly defined as a mobster in this edition. He is shown as a fat, balding family king-pin, smoking a cigar and brandishing his lucky pinkie ring. He is apparently a mathematical whiz and good with numerical figures.

1992 US: Mr. Green is given a more youthful appearance compared to previous incarnations. His hair, while receding is now returned to his head, and he now has a skinnier figure than usual. However, his personality seems to indicate cunningness and deceit in his expression. On the box, he is shown wiping clean a Wrench.

1996 US: Mr. Green is similar in appearance to his 1992 counterpart, except his hair has returned to a balding state and he is wearing a sharp, deep green pinstripe suit.

2000 UK/Super Cluedo/Passport to Murder: Reverend Green is shown with a youthful appearance, albeit grey-haired. Super Cluedo claims he’s a defrocked priest, turned tycoon.

2002 US: Cards and suspect pawns still show a slight difference for the characters of Reverend Green (2003 UK) and Mr. Green (2002 US), although the starting space is for Rev. Green on the 2002 US board, which is explained by giving Mr. Green the past of a former ordained minister. They are both given cubist facelifts. John Green is shown as an evangelical minister with a heavy build who has a reputation from fraud, money laundering and smuggling.

Discover the Secrets: Rev./Mr. Green is given a complete reinvention as Jacob Green, a go-to guy with all the ins.

1996 US: Professor Plum has returned to a more youthful age that is more akin to the 1972 Plum. Gone is his smoking pipe and moustache, but he still keeps the bow-tie and glasses. His expression is dumbfounded and his hair is short, black and disorganized.

These characters would appear in a number of other spin-off games and licensed products as well, and become the first of many new characters which would be created for subsequent games and products.

Miss Peach

Miss Peach is the stock character of a Southern Belle. Her character is usually one who manipulates others using her sweet, innocent charm. However, this is far from the case. She is appropriately represented by an orange-coloured token.

Clue the VCR Game: Peach was played by Mara Flash. Making her first appearance in the Clue world, Miss Melba Peach arrives purely by ‘accident’ when her car breaks down on the bridge connecting Boddy Mansion with the rest of the world. She really came to the mansion on purpose, on request of her father, M. Brunette in order to con the others out of their earnings in Boddy’s will.

Master Detective: Arriving at Boddy Manor, Miss Georgia Peach claims to be the long-lost step-niece of Mr. Boddy. However, these claims do not go unquestioned for which she claimed to have been taking a long vacation in the country on short notice. She is presented as a blonde-haired girl, wearing a large pastel orange hat, and her favourite flower is the deadly nightshade.

UK Super Challenge: Miss Peach is introduced in Britain. Unlike her American counterpart, this Miss Peach is more like a quiet, reserved school matron.

Super Cluedo/Passport to Murder: Miss Peach makes another appearance in Britain’s Super Cluedo and Passport to Murder. Her appearance is similar to her depiction in Super Challenge with the short brown hair, yet she has regained a more bubbly personality. However, in Super Cluedo, her colour inexplicably changes to pink, as Mme Mystique (Rose) instead assumes orange.

Clue FX/Cluedo SFX: Miss Peach would later make another appearance in Clue FX. Her personality and looks are very similar to that of her Master Detective counterpart. She sports some daisies as a hair decoration, and carries a parasol.

Clue Mysteries: The final appearance of Miss Amelia Peach so far has been in Clue Mysteries. Here, she is portrayed as a bitter law school dropout who had her share of bad luck in life. She is seen wearing a pair of horn-rimmed glasses and is erroneously dressed in pink.

Monsieur Brunette

M. Brunette is the stock portrayal of a foreign con artist. In most of his incarnations, he is a deceitful Frenchman out to con others for his own personal gain. Brunette's name is derived from one of the oldest originally created and filed in the patent as that of Mr. Brown, but not previously used in a published game and appropriately represented by a brown-coloured token.

Clue the VCR Game: Brunette was played by Michael Dell'Orto. Making his first appearance in the Clue world, M. Brunette arrives announcing himself as Mr. Boddy’s lawyer. He takes it upon himself to brief the others of Boddy’s wishes during the will reading. However, he is secretly a conman who hopes to cheat the others out of their earnings along with his foster daughter, Miss Peach. Not surprisingly, he also isn’t really French. He always wears an eye patch that he allegedly needs.

Master Detective: Appearing once again, this time M. Alphonse Brunette portrays a fraudulent art and arms dealer. His works for which he had sold have come under fire due to questionable authenticity. His inept abilities at being genuine are clearly illustrated by his failure to notice the difference between Monet and Manet.

Super Cluedo/Passport to Murder: Once again, Brunette makes his first appearance in Britain. Although the character is the same as his Master Detective counterpart, his name had been changed and he was now called Mr. Brown in Passport to Murder and even stranger, called Mr. De’Ath in Super Cluedo. Nonetheless, the character is no longer visually a French stereotype.

Madame Rose

Madame Rose represents the stock character of a fortune teller. The question is whether she predicted the murder, or caused it? She is represented by a pink-coloured token.

Clue the VCR Game: Rose was played by Mara Clark. For her first appearance in the world of Clue, Rose is presented as Mr. Boddy’s psychic sister. She is the one who invites his old friends back to the mansion so that she could hold a séance and connect with the spirit of her deceased brother. Like her brother Mr. Boddy and nephew Sgt. Grey, Madame Rose shares the main Boddy family trait…insanity.

Master Detective: Recurring in Master Detective as Madame Rhoda Rose, this time she is Mr. Boddy’s ex-secretary from East Grinstead, though of Hungarian heritage. Her name was originally Rhoda Rosengarten before moving back to Hungary to set up her paranormal business. She took the first Budapest tramp steamer to see her old employer after a vision of a dark cloud over him. She is portrayed as an overweight and heavily jeweled middle-aged woman looking startled while holding up a candlestick .

Super Cluedo: Madame Rose returns once more in Britain’s Super Cluedo, however her name had been inexplicably changed to Mme Mystique and her colour went from pink to orange. Other than that, she is the same character as Rose, though she is portrayed slightly younger and thinner than before.

Sergeant Gray

Sgt. Gray takes the stock role of a corrupt cop. His abidance to the law which he enforces is questionable. The name "Grey" was originally used as one of ten characters created and filed with the original patent for the game. "Miss Grey", along with "Mrs. Silver", represent one of the oldest colour-names associated with the game which went previously unused in a published edition. It would also prove to be one of the most enduring names in subsequent editions representing completely different characters. He is appropriately represented by a grey-coloured token.

Clue the VCR Game: Gray was played by Richard McElvain. For his first appearance in the world of Clue, Gray arrives at Boddy Mansion purely on the basis that the bridge connecting the mansion with the rest of world had been washed out in the storm’s flood, and that it is his job to warn the locals. However, in reality he is a crazed mental patient who escaped from the asylum and assumed the identity of a police officer due to his amnesia. He is the result of love affair between Mr. Boddy and Mrs. White, and like his mother, he too is colour blind.

Master Detective: Sgt. Gray returned again, only to become a serious, no-nonsense cop in the village who claims to have stumbled onto the crime scene while collecting funds for the Police Blackmail Awareness Program. He is corrupt at his job and unimaginative in his methodology.

Super Cluedo/Passport to Murder: Sgt. Gray presumably returns to the Clue world once more in Britain when he appeared in Super Cluedo. However, his appearance had been changed to a much older man, and his rank had been upgraded to have him called Inspector Grey. A more matured title suited his older look better. He appeared again in Passport to Murder, though he inexplicably became Earl Grey. Otherwise, his appearance was the same as the Inspector persona. Possibly, he is undercover.

One-time suspects

In 1986, Super Cluedo Challenge was released in the UK, followed by Super Sleuth, marking the second wave of new official characters to appear for the board games.

Captain Brown

Super Cluedo Challenge: A sea captain, Captain Robert Brown has not appeared in anything else but is visualized as a lower class, drunk, seaman who came to the mansion under mysterious circumstances and is represented by a brown token.

Mr. Slate-Grey

Super Cluedo Challenge: A lawyer or accountant, Mr. Graham Slate-Grey is visualized as a middle class man who does not really fit in at the mansion, other than to talk with the host. He is represented by a grey-coloured token.

Other characters

In 1986, Super Cluedo Challenge was released in the UK, followed by Super Sleuth, marking the second wave of new official characters to appear for the board games.

Inspector Grey

Super Sleuth: The inspector is a non-playable character that blocks spaces.

Hogarth

Super Sleuth: Hogarth is the butler and is a non-playable character that blocks spaces.

The Black Dog

Super Sleuth: A large breed of dog is a non-playable character that blocks spaces.

Millennial suspects

Released in 2003, Clue FX is an electronic talking version with audio voices and clues. The victim in this version is no longer Mr. Boddy or Dr. Black but is Mr. Meadow-Brook. Along with it came some new characters.

Lady Lavender

Clue FX: A herbalist who possibly poisoned her husband, Lord Lawrence Lavender, Lady Lavender is an honorable lady who tends to be a slight bit of a trouble-maker at times. Her Asian heritage is reminiscent of the earlier Miss Scarlet's (c. 1972–1992). In Clue FX, she was an innocent investigator of the death of Mr. Meadow-Brook. Her herbal business makes her successful, wealthy, and entertained, and also quite spoiled, but it is also stated that she wants even more and concocts plants to spice up her life. She is appropriately represented by a lavender token. Interestingly, in the Clue Junior book series, there is a stock character named Mrs. Lavender.

Clue Mysteries: She is given the name Su Sian.

Mr. Meadow-Brook

Clue FX: The murder victim. Married to Jane Meadow-Brook, he served as Dr. Black's/Mr. Boddy's lawyer. He has never been depicted in any game.

Clue Mysteries: He is given the name Miles, but is alive and well, practicing law and is occasionally the victim of a theft.

Mrs. Meadow-Brook

Clue FX: Wife of the deceased Mr. Meadow-Brook whose murder investigation was headed by Miss Peach with the aid of Lady Lavender, Prince Azure, and Lord Grey. She is situated on a turquoise base, correlating with her Namesake (Meadow/Green, Brook(e)/Blue). She is the local gossip according to Clue canon, and she and Mr. Meadow-Brook were strongly implied to have severe marital problems.

Clue Mysteries: She is given the name Jane.

Prince Azure

Clue FX: An art and arms dealer, possible partner to M. Brunette, Azure has both an elusive royal lineage and a knack for cashing in on it. This indicated a master fraud and manipulator. He is known to have a rivalry with Colonel Mustard, and an intense dislike for Mr. Boddy, but he is not a suspect in anybody's deaths thus far. He is the first black character in official Clue canon. He is represented by an Azure blue token.

Clue Mysteries: He is given the name Philippe.

Rusty Nayler

Clue FX, Clue DVD Game: Crusty, Bitter and old Rusty is the gardener at Tudor Mansion. He makes his first appearance in Clue FX as a suspect in the murder of Mr. Meadow-Brook. He returned in the Clue DVD Game. Not much is known about this character, save minor details hidden throughout the games. It is strongly implied that Rusty is soon to retire on a pension set aside for him.

Clue Mysteries: He is given the surname Nayler. He is typically referred to by his first name: "Rusty", as "Nayler" has no colour connection, but rust is a shade of orange with some tint of brown.

Lord Gray

Clue FX: Gray is a hard color for Clue to decide how to use, as Master Detective gave us "Sgt. Gray" and FX gave us "Lord Gray" (Lord Grey in UK editions), an investigator who looked more like a journalist.

Clue Mysteries: He is given the name Alfred.

Children's editions

Several variants of the game have been developed for children, most notably Clue and Cluedo Jr., which usually involve the disappearance of something or someone, rather than a murder. For the most part, these variants use the standard six surnames with different first names or titles, often changing the gender of the original character. However, there a few notable exceptions.

Cluedo Jr.

Typical of the first name changes, the UK edition introduced the first animal player/suspect: Samantha Scarlett, Mustard the Dog, Wendy White, George Green, Polly Peacock, Peter Plum.

Cluedo Junior Detective

This edition introduced Inspector Cluedo, and his trusty bloodhound Watson, who invites his 8 nephews and nieces, including the six younger versions of the standard six characters Jake Plum, Natalie Peacock, Jessica Scarlett, Spike Mustard, Robbie Green, Megan White, and for the first time, a young Miss Beth Peach, and the young Dr. Tom Black – who is an investigator for the first time and not a victim.

Film and DVD

1985 marked a milestone year for Cluedo as it not only began expanding its character roster, but also became the premise for a major motion picture, itself adding numerous characters to the game's canon, as well as the start of Clue's multi-media development.[2][3]

The Butler

The butler is rarely used in Clue, but when he is, he is usually a character that is most connected with the watching audience. Though sometimes unnamed, the character has made appearances under the names Wadsworth, Didit, Ashe and Hogarth.

Clue the Movie: The butler was a character in the 1985 film Clue played by Tim Curry. He appeared as an Englishman named Wadsworth, who was always ever so neat and tidy with his buttling. He mentions to have been Mr. Boddy's former butler and that he had resigned after Mr. Boddy's blackmail had caused his wife to commit suicide (she had had socialist friends, which would've had dire consequences under the context of McCarthyism). There might be more to him however than there seems: in two of the endings he is an FBI agent, and in one of the endings, the character turns out to be the actual Mr. Boddy (and is eventually shot by Mr. Green in the hall with the revolver). Because he organized the whole gathering, he appoints himself as the de facto leader of the group.

Clue the VCR Game: Also in 1985 the butler appeared in the VCR games. This time named Didit, he provided interaction with the audience to describe the rules and gameplay.

Computer Games: The butler has also made unnamed appearances in the computer games. In recent editions the butler has made prominent appearances as Mr. Ashe. The butler also appears for a humorous moment or two in the movie clip sequences.

Cluedo Super Sleuth: The butler was called Hogarth and was not a suspect. Instead he was there to either help or thwart players. He is called Ashe in the Australian version.

The Inspector

The Inspector typically works for Scotland Yard, and is mentioned in a couple of Clue games. Though often unnamed, this character has made appearances under the names: Pry, Brown and Gray.

Clue the Movie: The 1985 film has two policeman characters arrive at the mansion. The first is The Cop, a middle-aged, off-duty police officer. The Cop arrives at Hill House ostensibly looking for the owner of the Motorist's abandoned car. Like the Motorist (see below), he is murdered (with the lead pipe in the library by Miss Scarlett in endings A and C) while using the telephone. He is later revealed to be a dishonest police officer in the Washington area. He has been taking bribes from Miss Scarlett to keep quiet about her brothel, and at the same time informing on her to Mr. Boddy. He is played by Bill Henderson.

The second police character, usually known as The Chief, initially seems to be a gag character, an evangelist who comes to the door talking about "the Kingdom of Heaven." However, in all three endings he acts as the film's deus ex machina, turning out to be an undercover police chief who arrests the murderer or murderers. He is played by Howard Hesseman in an uncredited role. The Chief is accompanied by three unnamed cops in credited non-speaking roles, played by Will Nye, Rick Goldman, and Don Camp.

Clue the VCR Game II: The priggish Inspector Pry is the narrator for the game.

Cluedo SFX, Clue Mysteries, Clue DVD Game: The narrator is Inspector Brown.

Cluedo Super Sleuth: The character is now Inspector Gray who either helps or thwarts the players.

Yvette

Clue the Movie: A young and rather revealingly-dressed French maid, she appears in the 1985 movie. She speaks English only passably and with an accent. Although she is murdered in the billiard room by either Miss Scarlett (ending A), Mrs. Peacock (ending B), or Mrs. White (ending C) with the rope late into the movie, she is still considered a prime suspect (in ending A, she is ultimately revealed by Wadsworth to have murdered Mr. Boddy and Mrs. Ho under Miss Scarlett's orders), and her French accent is ultimately shown to be a ruse. Her character also acts as connecting character for many instances. She worked in Miss Scarlett's brothel and slept with a customer who happened to be Colonel Mustard. Not only that, she also had an affair with Mrs. White's husband. She was played by Colleen Camp.

Mrs. Ho

Clue the Movie: The chef at Hill House was cast as Mrs. Ho, or more commonly, The Cook. Here, she is shown as a robust Asian woman with a penchant for cooking exotic gourmet meals (she prepares shark's fin soup, and a Cantonese monkey brain dish in the movie). She appears in two brief but memorable scenes: her infamous "knife pointing" scene and her bashing the gong (which frightens Mr. Green). Her unwieldy corpse gets much more screen time, as she is stabbed with the dagger in the kitchen early in the film. Later, she is revealed to have been Mrs. Peacock's cook at one point. She was played by Kellye Nakahara.

The Motorist

Clue the Movie: The first "outsider" to arrive at Hill House, the Motorist seems to be an unfortunate middle-aged man who seeks shelter from the rain as his 1953 Chevrolet Bel Air has broken down. However, he is murdered (with the wrench in the lounge) while making a telephone call. He is revealed later as one of Mr. Boddy's informants who had the goods on Colonel Mustard since he was Mustard's chauffeur during the War. He is played by Jeffrey Kramer.

The Singing Telegram Girl

Clue the Movie: While the Motorist and the Cop are killed not long after their arrival at the mansion, she is shot in the chest with the revolver on the porch (second to last bullet) almost immediately, before she can even complete her singing telegram. She is later revealed to be a former patient and lover of Professor Plum. She was portrayed by Jane Wiedlin of The Go-Go's.

Television

In 1990, Cluedo spawned several television game-show dramas, which in addition to the standard six characters, created a number of additional characters, primarily victims.The most notable recurring character in the UK series was Mr. White.

Of the three, only the name Peach would be re-used for other official characters.
