Jester (Martin Greywhinder)

"First the dog wouldn't listen to me, then my wife. I think the only thing I've learned through all of this is that I'm not going to let anyone let me down! INCLUDING YOU!"

- Martin Greywhinder speaking to Arthur in the Go0d_By3_ArThur tape.

Martin Greywhinder - also referred to unofficially as The Clown or The Jester - is the co-founder of M&A HarmonyToys, M&A HarmonyPlay Production, and serves as the primary antagonist of Harmony & Horror. He has murdered upwards of eight people, including his own family, and has turned a majority of them into puppets through use of Satanic rituals.

Personality
Martin is shown to be an impulsive, aggressive, and sadistic individual who is motivated by nothing more than hatred and greed. He is unwilling to take responsibility for his own actions, telling himself that none of this is his fault. He lacks any amount of empathy, only seeing how other people affect him, and what he can do to stop them and control them. He displays genuine and realistic traits of an abusive individual, as he is very aggressive and controlling as well as blaming others for his actions (e.g Banzo in the _Rebirth_ tape).

When talking to other people, however, such as Mr. Stewart, he seems to be much quieter and more reserved, yet will still openly talk about "hurting his family". This shows that he is aware of his actions and how they affect others, he just sees nothing morally or ethically wrong with these actions, nor does he think they are his own fault. It's possible also that he has schizophrenia or antisocial personality disorder, perhaps even both, though this has yet to be confirmed.

He is also extremely abusive for abusing his son Thomas and 3 little girls to compliment the magical Sofia doll for a commercial and proceeds to kill them off after each interview. This could be due to Martin's lack of control both mentally and emotionally as his isolated attitude forces him to confide within himself for potential solutions instead (despite how graphic they may be).

Story
Sometime before the tapes take place, Martin met Gloria, and took her to a place he would go when he needed to calm down, a grassy hill in a field. This is where they had their first date. Later on, with the help of his older brother Arthur, founded M&A HarmonyToys. Their business likely wasn't doing well, however, and Martin learned of a Satanic ritual that would allow his toys to be more lifelike than ever, and therefore boost their profits. This worked, allowing them to expand their company into television production, creating M&A HarmonyPlay Production.

As time goes on, however, Martin becomes more irritable and antagonistic, abusing his oldest child, Thomas, and becoming annoyed and distrustful of his family, feeling as though they are disobedient and getting in his way.

The Harmony Broadcast Incident (~1982)
Around 1982, an event referred to as The Harmony Broadcast Incident occurred, affecting many children who were watching the HarmonyPlay program. Two likely victims of this incident are Richard Smith and Nathan Barnes, and evidence suggests that the episode "Making a Toy" seen in Tapes 10 and 13 was the cause of this incident, likely making use of Satanic imagery and chants to kill whoever was watching. Martin denies responsibility for this incident, however, claiming the station was hijacked. He did, however, kidnap and murder his intern, Amy Wilson, around this time, possibly using her and some of the other victims in his rituals to experiment with controlling them and using them as living puppets and slaves.

The Death of the Greywhinders (1985~1986)
After learning of this ritual's power, Martin decides to start using it on his family, starting with his dog, Banzo (who Martin saw as a hideous, disobedient, and annoying dog). He was intentionally hit by Martin's car, and turned into Stitchbuddy, who can somehow transform into a larger, more threatening figure. Martin conducted tests to see if Banzo would obey him, and everything seemed to be working successfully.

At some point, Banzo was ordered to kill Martin's infant daughter, Ava. It is unknown whether Banzo was the one to kill her or if Martin did it himself.

She_C4n't_Sle3p
After growing suspicious of Gloria and Arthur's bond between each-other (theorizing it to be a love affair), he prepares and successfully commits to her assassination. It's not known if she was used in his Satanic rituals like the children were. But, it's likely that wasn't the case as she returns in the form of a poltergeist.

This tape explains both Gloria's and Macy's death via Martin succumbing entirely to his insanity. In the beginning, Martin is heard discussing about her mother being gone "for a while" due to a business-meeting. Whether or not this was an intentional line for deceit via tricking Macy into being less suspicious of her mother disappearing isn't known. Regardless, Macy prompts a question to Martin asking if he could sing her a lullaby. Frustrated by this, he denies her request, insisting things would be better if she just tried to sleep instead.

Of course, she becomes saddened by this until he mentions creating a toy for her that could sing forever, asking if that would make her feel better before the scene fades to black. An advertisement of "Sofia The Singing Marionette" plays along with a brief jumpscare to indicate the next scene.

This segment involves Macy being woken up by her mother Gloria who sounds frightened. She insists on Macy to come with her to leave the house before Martin finds them presumably. When attempting to leave however, something blocks their path causing Macy to scream out in panic as the screen glitches. Gloria is heard begging Macy to stay in a nearby closet as she tries to escape. But - by the gunshot and Macy's shocked gasps - the attempt was futile. With little options left, Macy is left to cry in the closet as Martin is heard calling out for her off-screen.

Footage of a darkened stairwell with a pair of eyes can be seen along with muffled chanting. This could be Martin using his Satanic rituals or another source entirely. After more audible footsteps can be heard accompanying the chanting, the scene abruptly cuts to Macy's perspective. Presumably it is within the same closet she had hidden herself in. Within the room seems to be a Sofia doll surrounded by upside-down crosses and candles whilst the doll itself is sat on a wooden-chair. In the background, banging and slams presumably from Martin trying to get into the closet is heard.

Cryptic music sounds a subtle jumpscare when the camera Macy is holding pans back over to the Sofia doll which is seen stood up facing the closet door as the footage cuts to a conversation between The Jester and Henry The Puppet Doll.

The tape ends with distorted, glitched music playing as the Sofia doll's mouth is opened to reveal a pair of blood-shot eyes with a full-toothed grin.

Go0d_By3_ArThur
Martin is heard showcasing The Ice Cream Man suit to Arthur who responds by informing him that he knows about what happened to Banzo and the other "monstrosities". As to be expected, Martin denies knowing what he is talking about at first only to justify his actions by stating "At least I won't have to deal with it pissing on my shoe, or telling it to stop barking" as Arthur mentions about the stain to his car's bumper (implying from the Are_Y0u_HappY? tape Banzo was hit intentionally by Martin using his car but wasn't killed immediately as suggested by the linked caption).

Arthur insists that he wishes Martin hadn't gone down such a path, leading to the fatal mistake on announcing that he - along with Gloria - will be taking the children away until he is mentally stable. At this, Martin eerily replies that he always knew, assuming that Gloria and Arthur were having an affair whilst he was attending to work elsewhere. But, in his words, he fixed the little problem. This could imply that Martin had already killed Gloria and possibly the children before Arthur.

This tape ends with Arthur being shot by Martin as heard by the gunshot as the screen briefly flashes as the scene ends with Martin's infamous line.

Retaliation
At some point, he sees Gloria's face on a television, seemingly watching the tapes the viewer has been presented with. Gloria speaks to him through the tape Ple4se_C0me_B4ck_T0_M3, pleading with him to stop what he's doing and to see how he's become a monster and is hurting their children. This angers him, however, and he breaks the television, dismissing Gloria's cries.

After having created another toy, possibly Sofia, Ice Cream Man exits his room and walks out into the hallway where Martin can see. Martin orders him to get back into his room, yet Ice Cream Man does not comply. He asks him what does he want but doesn’t answer back, which angered Martin and started speaking to it in a louder tone. In response, the Ice Cream Man opens up his mouth and rushes towards Martin, attacking him. It is debated whether or not Ice Cream Man's attack killed Martin, but evidence suggests that it did not and Martin survived. When rushed by Ice Cream Man, Martin likely picked up a bat or an axe to defend himself by smashing Ice Cream Man's face and escaping. This can be inferred because Ice Cream Man's face is not broken when he attacks Martin, and the news reporter in Local 13 says that police are still on the hunt for Martin, implying he is still alive but in serious need of medical attention.

H4PPY_N3W_FRIEND5
In the first tape of season 2 H4PPY_N3W_FRIEND5!, 3 little kids by the names of Marilyn Taylor, Earl McLain and Jennifer Laker were kidnapped and then forced to compliment the new Magical Sofia doll created by Martin for a commercial. Each of the girls are very likely 3 of the victims seen in Local 13. Each girl is injured in some way and killed off by Martin at the end of the interview.

Trivia

 * As of yet, there is no indication behind why Martin lost control to the extent he required Satanic rituals to assist in his life (e.g mental-illnesses, physical conditions, etc).
 * For obvious reasons, Martin is one of the most featured characters throughout the entirely of the tapes.
 * The Jester is assumed to be his toy/mascot counterpart or a representation of Martin's insanity through chaotic destruction or clownish logic when relying on Satanic rituals to do his bidding.
 * It's assumed from the Hell0_M4rtin tape that he was attacked and killed off by The Ice Cream Man. Whether he became The Jester or not is still not known.
 * In the tape The Damned Litch, we receive a character similar to in the sense of behavior, which is the mysterious The man in the dark.
