Jack Torrents

You've been invited to play the role of Jack Torrents in A Very Merry Christmas Murder. Albi LeGrinch is hosting yet another lavish annual feast at his winter wonderland estate, but before the festivities can begin he’s found hung from the top of his own giant Christmas tree! Join us in the lounge-grotto to find out who lassoed LeGrinch…

Your costume suggestion

As a working artist, you keep things casual with blue jeans, gingham shirt and a wine-coloured sports jacket. Wearing one shoe and one trainer hints at your possibly dual personality, and even the dictaphone you carry around sometimes has two different voices on it!

About you...

BIO
You’ve had a long life of less than satisfying manual labour jobs, so after watching an advert on TV you trained as a computer programmer to broaden your horizons (and income). It was only a couple of weeks before you realised you didn’t like programming but preferred hacking systems, so you became a recluse and hacked in the privacy of your own home (the Overlook hotel, which you’d inherited from Jack Senior). When your new neighbours moved in you made a plan to become a successful novelist…

INTRODUCE YOURSELF AT THE START OF THE GAME BY READING THIS
I’m Jack, Jack Torrents. I live at the Overlook hotel, across the road. I’m currently writing a novel but interruption after interruption stops me from getting anything done. I do some I.T. work on the side too, but all work and no play is making Jack a dull boy. Fortunately LeGrinch always invites me to this hideous Christmas-fest. It’s not much but this place really gets going at night once everyone has gone to bed.
