| ~ Arlecchino's catchphrase as he greets P. |
Arlecchino, often referred to as the King of Riddles, is a minor antagonist in the 2023 videogame Lies of P.
He was a puppet who manifested a sadistic streak after he achieved awareness thanks to his Ergo awakening. He became a serial killer and went on a journey across Krat to cause as much misery and suffering as possible.
He is voiced by Joseph Balderrama.
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- After awakening an Ego, he copied his surgeon master's skills, so that he could effectively torture him.
- He drilled him for info on the base, Arche Abbey, of the Alchemists, the creators of puppets, so he could go there and kill them all. After his former master told him, he killed him.

- He murdered a factory worker by tearing him apart.
- He forced a priest to pluck his own fingernails out before killing him.
- He killed a singer by cutting her tongue out.
- He pulled a thief's heart out.
- He murdered the Venigni family, except their young son, Lorenzini.
- He makes it clear that he only spared Lorenzini out of a desire to prove he was capable of making choices and wasn't just a mad murder robot. He also did it out of a desire to see how the trauma would affect the young boy, so he could witness if he would be forever emotionally stunted, become bigoted due to his killer being a puppet, or just resulting in his suicide.
- He stole a toy that was intended for Lorenzini, so he could later return it to him to remind him of his trauma.
- He stalked Lorenzini throughout the rest of his life so he could track his development.
- He eventually reached Arche Abbey and attempted to kill all the Alchemists there but was defeated and pinned to a wall.
- After latching onto Sophia Monad's Ergo Waves, he used them to tap into the phone networks of Krat so he could torment people with riddles.
- Those who did not answer his riddles correctly were often led to their deaths, such as Adelina Corday, whom he sent to the main base of operations for the puppets.
- He also gave out surprise boxes which could douse people in acid or set them on fire when opened.
- He tells P to embrace being a killer should P state that he is no murderer.
- When confronted by P, he shows absolutely no remorse, scoffing at the idea, and gifts P the toy he stole to remind Venigni of his trauma.
- While he claims to fight for the rights of puppets, he admits himself that he's just violently hateful, and the reason for his murders is more for fun.
- He admits his murder of the Venignis was only due to him being annoyed by their happiness, rather than them being partially responsible for the enslavement of Ergo in puppet bodies.
- When P denies being a murderer, he encourages P to kill more, despite most of P's victims being puppets.
- He is all too willing to harm puppets who get his riddles wrong, including using his surprise boxes on them.
