List of Cluedo characters
This is a list of characters in the game of Cluedo (UK) / Clue (US).
The victim of Cluedo/Clue is Dr. Black (UK) / Mr. Boddy (US), the wealthy owner of Tudor Mansion (formerly known as Tudor Close/Tudor Hall (UK) and Boddy Mansion/Boddy Manor (US)). He is the unseen host who is murdered, which inspires the quest to discover who murdered him, what room in his mansion the crime occurred, and with what weapon. Dr. Black was listed in the original patent filing as one of the ten characters created for the game, in which one character was drawn from the suspect cards to be the new victim before the start of a game. Mr. Boddy's name is a pun on the fact that the character is a dead body.
In the 2002 US edition, Mr. John Boddy was orphaned at a young age and raised by his uncle, Sir Hugh Black, and is also known by locals as Dr. Black. He is an eminent anthropologist and the heir of the late Sir Hugh's estate, which he is set to fully inherit on the day of his thirtieth birthday. Before then, Boddy discovered a series of secret allowances bequeathed to some of his uncle's former associates. Vowing to investigate these financial dealings, he invites his uncle's associates to Tudor Mansion for a weekend visit. However, Mr. Boddy is murdered by one of them.
In the 2023 edition of the game, the two names are combined into the character Boden "Boddy" Black Jr, a man who inherited his significant wealth. At the time of his murder in the game's updated story, he has used connections to government officials in Hue County, the game's setting, to push through permitting and construction on Boden Black Hotel, a luxury hotel that the public opposes.
In the film, Mr. Boddy is primarily portrayed by Lee Ving while Tim Curry portrays him in one of the film's three endings. He blackmailed the six guests of Hill House and his butler Wadsworth's wife until he is murdered in the hall with the candlestick. In the first ending, he was murdered by his maid Yvette on Miss Scarlet's orders. In the second ending, he was murdered by Mrs. Peacock. In the third ending, Boddy is seemingly murdered by Professor Plum, but Wadsworth reveals himself as the real Mr. Boddy while the person Plum killed was his butler. Boddy plans to continue blackmailing the guests before he is shot by Mr. Green.
The original board game suspects in rolling order:
Miss Scarlett or Miss Scarlet (the second "t" was dropped in North American versions after 1963 and added back in 2016) is a stereotypical femme fatale, typically portrayed as young, cunning, and attractive. She rolls first in the game.
In Clue Master Detective, Miss Scarlet is depicted as an Asian woman nicknamed the "Mercenary of Macau".
