Joker, or Smiley Face, is one of 22 Hunters 
currently featured in Identity V 
.
Background[ | ]
Joker was once the star of the circus. His naturally sullen face made him the best crying clown. However, the advantage changed when the handsome smile clown Segi and the glamorous acrobat and actress Natalie joined the circus, and Joker realized it's time for him to change his "professional track". Obviously, after getting his eternal smile, Joker can go nuts in new comedy shows.

Despite this, in-game his face is shown to not display any damage which means he is wearing the face of the smiling clown.

- He hates crybabies and sportspeople.
- He likes acrobats and chainsaws.
- Smiley Face might have some inspiration from pop culture;
