Everyone knows Wolfe, Archie, and Fritz but can you at identify the lesser-known recurring characters in the Corpus? At the 2002 Halloween event each participant was given the name tag of a character that isn't a regular but appears at least three times in Corpus. The name tag was attached to the participant's back and he or she had to ask questions to learn the character's name. See if you can identify the following characters.
