Eagle Eye Mysteries/Characters


A list of the characters that appear in the Eagle Eye Mysteries game series, and the tropes associated with each character. (This list consists largely of recurring characters, unless otherwise indicated, as most one-off characters are often the guilty party or suspects in the mysteries they appear in, and as such any information on them would be spoiler-ific.)

The list is complete (for now).

Main Characters

Jake and Jennifer Eagle

The founders of the Eagle Eye Detective Agency.

  • Amateur Sleuth
  • Badass Longcoat: In EEM London, both twins wear trench-coats as part of their character sprites; Jake sports a khaki-colored one, while Jennifer's is dark blue.
  • Born Detective: Jake and Jennifer's rules for sleuthing were given to them by their great-grandfather, based on a crime-solving handbook he wrote in 1842.
  • Brainy Brunette: Jennifer.
  • Cool Board: Jake rides one in the first game, whenever you go to an investigation scene with him as your partner.
  • Crazy Prepared: In EEM London, the practice mystery's intro tells you that Jennifer packed the TRAVIS in her suitcase prior to the twins' trip to London, just in case they ran into any mysteries while on holiday.
  • A Friend in Need: Generally speaking, but especially to Nancy Marx in EEM Original's "Case of the Midnight Masquerade;" specifically, the versions of that mystery in Books 1 and 2.
  • Gadgeteer Genius: According to (now former) senior producer of Stormfront Studios, Sarah Stocker, Jennifer's personality was designed for her to be this. See here.
    • The introduction to EEM London's Justified Tutorial also makes it pretty clear that Jennifer's the one who designed the TRAVIS, and who added the new features that it didn't have in the first game. As well, "Case of the Robin Hood Hacker" establishes that she's a bit territorial about who gets to handle the TRAVIS.

Jake: (if you play the mystery with him as your partner) My sister's pretty touchy about who we let handle the TRAVIS. She only wants (player's name) and I to use it.

Jake/Jennifer: It looks like mysteries just seem to pop up wherever we go!

  • Redheaded Hero: Jake.
  • Rollerblade Good: Jennifer rides on a pair of these in the first game, whenever you go to an investigation scene with her as your partner.
  • Secret Keeper: As of EEM London's "Case of Blood's Bold Bauble."
  • Sibling Rivalry: With each other in tennis, as revealed in EEM London's "Case of the Vaporous Victorian."


The Eagle Family

Jake and Jennifer's relatives in both games—immediate, distant, and by marriage.

Mr. and Mrs. Eagle

The twins' parents. They're never actually seen, but are referenced on a few occasions in the first game, so we know they're around.

Miranda Eagle

The protagonists' aunt, Uncle Basil's wife and Nigel's mother, and a reporter for the Times.

Basil Eagle

The protagonists' uncle, Aunt Miranda's husband and Nigel's father, and a successful novelist. He's also a fan of Sherlock Holmes and a member of the local fan-club dedicated to the fictional detective, and performs in a Shakespearean troupe at the Old Vic theater.

  • Brainy Brunette: He's a male version.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: During the less-serious moments of the game, and generally regarding ideas for potential new books to write. Aunt Miranda often scolds him for it.
  • Gentleman and a Scholar
  • Team Dad: Of the Eagle household in London.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: He gives the detectives a short and somewhat subdued version of this in "Case of Macavity's Mace," after they cause Lady Edna distress by asking her about her deceased pet monkey Cupcake, which is a sensitive topic for her.

Uncle Basil: My! I've NEVER seen Lady Edna quite so upset. But you had your reasons, I'm sure.
Jake/Jennifer: I hope so.

Nigel Eagle

The protagonists' cousin, and son of Miranda and Basil Eagle.

  • Berserk Button: He will not tolerate anyone cheating at chess. Period. As he says at the start of EEM London's "Case of the Chess Club Caper":

Nigel: (upon entering the garret) Blast it all! It's a royal game, and cheating is just not done! It's a disgrace.

Patrick Moss

Aunt Miranda's brother-in-law through marriage to her older sister Joanna. He has three children, Geoff, Darren and Claire. All of them feature prominently in "Case of Blood's Bold Bauble."

  • Secret Keeper: You, Jake and Jennifer become this for Patrick upon hearing the story behind the titular "Blood's Bold Bauble," a Crown Jewel that was stolen amongst others in a daring heist and was the only one never recovered (because a fisherman found it but kept it out of fear of being associated with the thieves).
  • Secret Legacy: The story of Blood's Bold Bauble, explained above, is a longtime family secret that has been passed down from parents to children in the Moss family for 300 years. Patrick told his children about the legend, but he thinks that one of them may have squealed the secret to get rich off of it; consequently, he comes to Aunt Miranda for help, who in turn commissions the detectives to find out which of the three Moss children may have let the secret slip, turning you, Jake and Jennifer into Secret Keepers so as to keep from possibly alerting the squealer. Turns out none of them let the secret slip--it was a misunderstanding.

Geoff, Claire and Darren Moss

Patrick Moss' three children. Geoff, the oldest, is a stage actor who aspires to hit the big-time on the silver screen, and he regularly performs at the Old Vic theater. Claire, the middle child, works at Oxford University. Darren, the youngest, is a cadet at the Tower of London.

  • Secret Legacy: They are all part of this, as explained under Patrick Moss' entry.

Cousins Stanley and Agatha

Two very obscure cousins who are briefly mentioned at the start of "Case of the Envelope Espionage" and nowhere else before or after that. One or the other of them will be mentioned depending on which of the twins you have as your companion for that mystery, but not both at the same time.

Lady Edna Saltcoats

The owner of Marlford Manor and a longtime friend of Aunt Miranda and Uncle Basil.

  • Actual Pacifist: She's revealed to be this in "Case of the Marlford Murder," where her scripted method of Count von Coburg's character's "murder" is being frightened to death by a mouse, instead of being shot, poisoned or bludgeoned as the Eagle Eyes initially assume; and when they ask her which of those methods was used, she reacts with absolute horror. Then she acknowledges the point:

Lady Edna: Well...I know it sounds unlikely, but frankly, my dears, I just couldn't bear the thought of any violence. Not even play-acted!

P.C. Bardbrooke

Etienne Dumont

An oceanographer and genealogist.

Antagonists in EEM London

Macavity

The Big Bad of EEM London. Nobody knows his/her real identity, or even if he/she is in fact a man or a woman.

  • Affably Evil: Until, that is, he/she stops playing nice in "Case of Macavity's Mace."
  • Arch Enemy: To both the Eagle Eyes and Scotland Yard.
  • The Bad Guy Wins
  • Batman Gambit: This is Macavity's shtick throughout the course of the sequel: testing the Eagle Eyes' skills throughout the game by pulling city-wide pranks; stealing a sign language-using chimpanzee; and arranging for the creation of a remote-control toy tiger to be stolen later. Eventually, in "Case of Macavity's Mace," the toy tiger is used to turn off the House of Common's security system, following which the chimp is sent to steal the Mace of the House of Commons—all in order to blackmail Parliament into passing the Animal Protection Law that has been under debate. Then, knowing the Eagle Eyes will intervene and potentially crack the case, arrangements are made to put Macavity's base of operations up for sale in preparation to flee the country, with the funds from the sale donated toward supporting the passing of the Animal Protection Law. Before fleeing, they make a video confessing their wrongs and apologizing for the harm they have brought to the people of England in their zeal to protect animals. Thus, some measure of sympathy will be garnered for their repentance, and the citizens will have the choice to support the bill if they should so choose.
  • Beware the Silly Ones
  • The Chessmaster
  • Collective Identity: Macavity is two people using one identity.
  • Crazy Prepared
  • Dramatic Unmask: Done by themselves at the end of the final mystery.

  • Friendly Enemy: Kinda-sorta.
  • Gentle-person Thief
  • Graceful Loser
  • He Or She Who Must Not Be Seen
  • Hidden Villain
  • Humans Are the Real Monsters: His/Her viewpoint when it comes to animal rights abuses.
  • Karma Houdini
  • Manipulative Bastard
  • Meaningful Name: Macavity takes his/her name from a fictional character in the real-life book Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats by author T.S. Eliot. The Macavity in that book is a master criminal who is too smart to leave any evidence of his crimes behind.
  • Phantom Thief
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist

Ned Basset

A local Londoner who has dreams of greatness.

Captain Greenbeard

The captain of a pirate crew that abducts Aunt Miranda in "Case of the Pirate Prank."

The Morgan Salvage Company

A group of treasure-seekers who rival Max Landers' company and are, in Etienne Dumont's words, "modern-day pirates." They are led by one Mrs. Morgan, a callous, vindictive and scornful woman, and one of their main agents is Mr. Spector, a supposed soothsayer. They only appear in "Case of the Pirate Puzzle."

  • Friendly Enemy: Mrs. Morgan is seen posing with Dumont and Landers in a newspaper clipping at the end of the mystery, suggesting that they are at least a little less antagonistic toward each other by this point.
  • Meaningful Name: Mrs. Morgan's name and description as a "modern-day pirate" by Etienne Dumont brings to mind the famous privateer Henry Morgan.
  • Punny Name: Mr. Spector, as per his soothsayer profession.
  • Red Herring: Mrs. Morgan directs the detectives to Mr. Spector to get directions on how to talk to the ghost of Cutlass Jack, the legendary pirate whose treasure is the focus of the "Pirate Puzzle" case. Predictably, if you go to the Highgate Cemetery and follow Mr. Spector's directions to raise up the supposed ghost, nothing happens.

Jake/Jennifer: Honestly, (player's name), I don't know why I let you talk me into these things!...I guess you're right. Anything in the name of investigation!


Minor Adult Characters in EEM London

Ved Maringh

One of the major residents of Dartmoor in EEM London. Rae Maringh's father.

  • Agent Scully: He doesn't subscribe to the various supernatural legends surrounding Dartmoor. He does acknowledge, however, that his neighbors would be superstitious because Dartmoor does look rather spooky.

Ved Maringh: The first thing I must make very clear is that my daughter is quite innocent!

Julia Beeswing

Lady Edna Saltcoats' maid at Marlford Manor.

  • Cool Big Sis

Rutherford

Lady Edna Saltcoats' butler at Marlford Manor.

Count Gunter von Coburg

A wealthy German and a good friend of Lady Edna Saltcoats.

  • Asshole Victim: In EEM London's "Case of the Marlford Murder," Count von Coburg's victim character in the murder mystery party was a swindler and a heartless brute. Among his character's list of atrocities: he cheated one character out of the Victoria Cross bravery medal, sold another character's entire pig farm to a sausage factory and then claimed the animals were stolen, shot a third character's pet warthog for spite, and defeated a fourth character in a baking competition.
  • Cool Old Guy
  • Eccentric Millionaire
  • Jerkass: Not the man himself, but his scripted character in the murder mystery party during "Case of the Marlford Murder." In fact, during Lord Cheswick's recital of his character's script, he lambastes Count von Coburg's character as a swindler and rotten scum who nobody will miss...then briefly breaks character to assure the detectives that the Count is in fact a perfect gentleman.
  • Socialite

Nigel: I don't know about Ms. Brissot. She's nice and everything, but she seems awfully anxious to make a lot of money. She rattles on and on about how she'll spend her first million pounds! I think she spends more time thinking about that than she does writing her books!

An oceanographer who salvages shipwreck treasures for historical study.

Mrs. Preswick
