These men are often petty criminals, thugs, or jail escapees lured into working for Maynard under the pretense of steady pay and the ability to hide from the law by traveling place to place. When not serving as stagehands, concession stand staff, or various other backstage roles these crooks are often out and about committing crimes of their own to suppliment the Circus' income and often assist Maynard's troupe during their crimes.
The Circus of Crime:
Maynard's biggest asset is his Circus and its performers. Gathered from all corners of the globe, these men and women use their talents, skills, and sometimes even powers to commit crimes while entertaining the masses. Each individual is incredibly loyal to Maynard and his Circus and is almost impossible to break in interrogation, except by a master interrogator.
Elliot "Crafty" Franklin: Elliot Franklin, Clown name "Crafty," is a career con-man, pick-pocket, and all-the-round criminal. After breaking out of jail in Orlando, he joined with Maynard's circus and quickly became the leader of the "Clown Pack" Maynard's clowns.

The Jackal: The Jackal, real name unknown, is a Mutant Jackal Maynard picked up from Egypt. This mutant, formerly feral, was civilized by Maynard and The Great Gambonnos and trained in acrobatics and knife throwing and is now slowly becoming a big attraction. He uses his new skills combined with his natural abilities of excellent hearing and smelling to be a dangerous opponent.
The Great Gambonnos: Ernesto and Luigi Gambonno are acrobatic prodigies and master aerialists .They can leap distances of about 35 feet without a trapeze and are very skilled at parkour, which allows them to commit city-based crimes easily.
Tomas Ramirez: Tomas Ramirez is a fire-eater from Spain and an original member of Maynard's circus. Using a secret technique unique only to his clan, he can consume fire into his mouth then spit it out at enemies without harming himself. He also has access to incendiary discs, which explode into flames when they hit a target.
Zelda DuBois: Zelda DuBois. Aka Princess Python is one of the world's best snake charmers who has fallen in with the Circus of Crime. She is currently in possession of a giant python named Precious, which she can sic on foes, and has trained to do surprisingly intricate tasks.
Boris Zukov: Boris Zukov was picked up during Maynard?s latest world tour and was already an accomplished lion tamer in many circuses before falling on hard times. He has a close bond with his lions and can train them to be fierce to enemies yet gentle enough to leave with a baby. He has also taught them to commit simple acts of thievery.
The Kabuki Twins: The Kabuki Twins are twin contortionists and martial artists from Japan. The sisters are clad in traditional kabuki garb or red jumpsuits equipped with blades on their fingers and are always masked. They use their mastery of martial arts and their flexible bodies to significant effect as Maynard's bodyguards and as top-rated attractions.
Bruto The Strongman and Iron Jake Baker: Bruto and Iron Jake are Maynard?s primary muscle and the Circus? strongmen. Jake, an Englishman, and Bruto, a Swede, are apart physically powerhouses. Still, together, they are a true force to be reckoned with, using their incredible but not superhuman strength to overcome most mundane foes. However, the two hate each other passionately, stopping team-ups.
The Nulltron:
Maynard's biggest asset is The Nulltron. The Nulltron was a device being developed during WW2 that Maynard's Grandfather stole the plans for. The Nulltron, which is now fitted into Maynard's top hat is made out of a simple engine and a spinning disk. As long as Maynard's victim is staring into the disk, Maynard is able to hyponotize them into following his bidding or paralyze them long enough to rob them or flee. (Will only do this with player permission on PCs.)
