Fools' Guild Mysteries is a series of historical murder mystery novels by Alan Gordon, set at the time that the The High Middle Ages was starting to tail off, detailing the adventures of Theophilos, a jester belonging to the titular Guild, an organisation that is basically You Meddling Kids taken to Machiavellian extremes.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Guild's self-imposed remit (executed either via subtle manipulation or just bumping the right people off at the right time) is to prevent wars, or failing that, to end them as quickly as possible, all while keeping the whole thing secret and trying not to piss off a Corrupt Church that seems to be losing its patience with them.One of the series' more beguiling ideas is that Theophilos was Feste, the Clown from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. He's also hinted to be the Fool in King Lear. The first book in the series is a sequel to Twelfth Night, which sees Theophilos going back to Illyria incognito to solve the murder of the Duke.There are eight novels in total, though hopefully more will be forthcoming without readers having to resort to standing on the author's lawn with a box of cakes in one hand and a pitchfork in the other.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

The Alcoholic: Theo insists he isn't one. Everyone else seems to think otherwise. | |

Code Name | |
| Fools' Guild / int_a7defafd | comment |
Code Name: Jesters have a Guild Name, a purely internal name which will never be used in the field. It's mainly used to identify them to other Guild members and for administrative purposes. In addition, they adopt secondary, professional codenames while engaged in fieldwork. And then there's the names they adopt for going undercover as non-Jesters. Theophilos alone has been known throughout the series as Feste, Octavius, Balaam, Droignion, and Tan Pierre, but he says at one point he's had so many code names over the years, even he's forgotten some of them. | |

Affectionate Nickname | |
| Fools' Guild / int_dcd423d2 | comment |
Affectionate Nickname: Theophilos and Claudia occasionally refer to each other as 'Duchess' and 'Fool', though the extent to which either of them is a nickname could be debated, seeing as they're just plain descriptors as well. As far as Claudia is concerned, 'Apprentice' is most definitely not this. Claudia also mentions that she always thinks of Theo as 'Feste', sometimes when he's pissed her off, but mostly involving the fun variety of Say My Name situation. | |
