Meet Spaldi!

Harold Fleck saw through people, so he could invite anyone with pure thoughts to his troupe. That is why one of the members of the troupe was a murderer named Spauldy.
 
More precisely, he was recognized as a murderer in the village from which he escaped. Spaldi himself claimed that he was trying to help a dying girl, and people misunderstood everything. Fleck immediately realized that the guy was not lying, so he hid him at home and taught him circus craft.
 
Spauldy showed tricks with swords and knives. But during the gang's attack on the troupe, his skill failed him, and the trickster died. After his death, he did not forget his skills and still shows dangerous tricks with knives. Only now the audience does not live to see the end of the performance.
