The Escape Master, originally named Efron Wise, was a stunt performer at the docks. He rose to the stage through unique escape challenges, earning applause and cheers. However, the good times did not last long. During one performance, a steel plate from the stage pierced his skull. Although he did not die, he developed amnesia due to the steel fragment in his brain, suffering from intermittent memory loss.

Efron could no longer perform escapes. A friend then offered some suggestions, helping him accumulate loans, while Efron provided guidance on escapes. Although this allowed Efron to maintain a decent life, it also exacerbated his memory loss. Additionally, the harassment and threats from debtors, as well as police interrogations, made Efron even more paranoid, always feeling that someone was after his property.

For a period, Efron even discovered strangers brazenly entering his house, rummaging through his ledgers, performance props, and even his money box. Most critically, every time they left, they would chain Efron up, only releasing him when they returned. These people were very curious about escape techniques, so when they dove into the performance water tank again, Efron locked them in from the outside. This lock was meticulously crafted, and even the greatest escape master couldn't open it. Efron watched as they each suffocated in the water. It is speculated that these strangers might actually have been Efron's friends, but due to his condition, he had forgotten them and committed the wrong deed.

The origin of the item Efron holds came later. Once, a South Asian merchant tried to settle a debt with incense, telling him that the incense could unlock the chains of memory. Efron tried one of them, and in a burst of fragrance, he suddenly became clear-headed, seeing the familiar yet confused faces in the storage room. Therefore, to maintain his consciousness, he always kept incense burning in the censer.

Above is the background introduction of the Identity V Escape Master. Although details about his skills have not been announced yet, it is speculated that they may be related to the censer he holds, such as creating a temporary mist effect. Finally, for those who are interested in the character after reading the background, you can experience him in the game when he is released.
