Ever notice how DBD is full of hidden puppeteers? Take Tryks — the Mad Designer, the mastermind behind the Twisted Masquerade, whose influence is everywhere if you know where to look. Alias? Je-Zable.

Tryks isn’t just a name dropped in passing. She’s a puppet master, artist, trickster, and storyteller all rolled into one. And her alias - Je-Zable → Zable → Sable - isn’t a coincidence. It hints at fractured identities, a shadow of herself lingering as the playable survivor Sable.

Her Footprints in Lore:

  • Tome III – Escalation: Sends a cryptic “birthday” invite tied to the Entity’s celebrations.
  • Tome VI – Divergence: Writings in the Chamber of Blood show her manipulative genius.
  • Tome XV – Ascension: Notes signed “Sweet Darkness” link her closer to the Entity.
  • Tome XVIII – Revision: Observer discovers her surreal cardboard/gingerbread realm — unmistakably her style.

Fractured Identities: Comedy vs. Tragedy:
🎭 Comedy Mask: In Greek theatre, comedy isn’t just “funny.” It exaggerates, mocks, twists reality, and thrives on chaos. Tryks embodies this: chaotic, playful, Harley Quinn - like energy, joy turned unsettling.
🎭 Tragedy Mask: Tragedy shows inevitability, sorrow, restraint, and the cold truth of suffering. Sable embodies this: stoic, detached, the weight of inevitability.

Inspiration Done Right:

  • Agatha Harkness: hidden, orchestrating events, dropping subtle breadcrumbs.
  • Harley Quinn: playful, chaotic, darkly humorous — joy twisted into something unsettling.
  • Like many archetypes in comics (Superman → Homelander → Wonder Man), Tryks isn’t a copy - she’s fully her own, blending hidden manipulation with chaotic charm.

Fan Speculation:

  • New Killer/Survivor: Could she step into the Fog herself? Absolutely — wielding illusions, bending environments, and twisting reality into mind-bending chaos.
  • Next Event Architect: With the Twisted Masquerade behind us, Tryks could take the reins of DBD’s next big anniversary event. She’s already left her mark with collections like Alice in Wonderland — dramatic, surreal, and theatrical.

Tryks isn’t just lurking in notes and Tomes. She’s been teasing her reveal for years.
It wasn’t random. It was Tryks ALL Along. 🎶
