All Suspects

The Mortuga murder investigation centers on eight fully voiced suspects—each with Opportunity, Motive, and Means tracks on the Suspicion Tracker. This hub aggregates profile links, recommended interview order, and evidence pairing cheat sheets without spoiling the final accusation outcome. Every suspect connects to specific submarine rooms: theatre access, engine duty, navigation logs, cargo manifests, wellness supplies, performance schedules, and command authority.

Suspect Roster

Symmetry Silkmoth — Illusion Theatre director; expert on stage locks and prop cauldron. Dirk Dansom — Quartermaster documenting night watch and cargo movement. JD Wirman — Engineer maintaining switchboard and Engine Room ballast systems. Zacharias Zephyr — Navigator curating compass charts and weather affidavits. Madam Tadpole — Wellness officer tied to payroll slips from piggy bank puzzle. Godrik Gripp — Bosun overseeing Airlock Grotto hull work. Mariana Moon — Performer linked to Dream Chamber audio and rehearsal timelines. Captain Seafoam — Interim captain with bridge alibi and command key access.

Investigation Strategy Overview

Interview Wirman and Dansom early for mechanical alibis, Symmetry and Moon for theatre timing, Zephyr and Gripp for navigation/hull access, Tadpole after financial clues, Seafoam last. Present evidence only when notebook flags topic relevance per investigation guide. Maintain Evidence Checklist for cross-suspect items like cauldron rubbing or switchboard photos.

Reading Suspicion Without Spoilers

High suspicion values indicate narrative suspicion—not proof. The Mermaid Mask deliberately keeps multiple suspects viable until finale reconstruction integrates timeline, means, and locked-room mechanism. Use this hub as routing table to individual profiles rather than verdict sheet. When three tracks spike simultaneously, revisit town square archives or compass pinboard drawer for timeline clarifiers before accusing anyone in dialogue.
