who loved to play pranks and tell jokes and who was killed by the Nazis when his jokes went too far. He was used for evil under puppet masters Neil Gallagher, Andre Toulon (Puppet Master II), and Dr. Magrew, all whom he turned against in the end.
Jester has the ability to rotate three portions of his face: his forehead, middle face, and chin. He can show five expressions: happy, devious, sad, angry or surprised (which also doubles as scared). He holds a scepter which can sometimes be used as a weapon. However, Jester's only seen with his scepter in Puppet master vs Demonic toys. Out of all the puppets, Jester has the most designs. In Puppet Master 1-5, Jester had red clothes, his sleeves were mixed in red and black, and he had a red hat. In Puppet Master 6-8, Jester was all red, mixed on his sleeves were red and blue, and had a blue hat. In Puppet Master vs. Demonic Toys, Jester was all orange. In Puppet Master: Axis of Evil
, Jester is red, with his sleeves mixed with red and green, and he has a curly red hat. Jester is like the watch man of the group, looking out for danger, keeping the enemy occupied long enough for the puppets to strike. He was given a mace-arm by Robert Toulon after a terrible fire in Puppet Master vs. Demonic Toys. Jester's most common companion is Pinhead in films III-V, and Blade in Curse of the Puppet Master
. Jester also spends time with Leech Woman in Curse of the Puppet Master
. He is cared for by the other puppets. In Puppet Master
, the puppets turned on their master because he threw Jester, and in part II,the puppets tried to find the formula for the starving puppet. Jester can fit through small places where the other puppets can't. He is also sometimes credited as the leader of the puppets.

).
Pinhead was used for evil under puppet masters Neil Gallagher, Andre Toulon (Puppet Master II
), and Dr. Magrew, all whom he turned against in the end. Pinhead's only power is his two big hands that can deliver quite a punch. He's also unnaturally strong, able to move or drag a full grown human body with ease. Pinhead's weakness is if someone removes his tiny bald head from his burly body, (which only appeared in the original
).

Puppet Master: The legacy (cameo appearance)
, Ilsa traveled to the Theater Magic where she met her future husband Andre Toulon. Later, she is kidnapped by the slaves of the demon lord, Sutekh, and is rescued by Andre and his first six puppets (Retro Puppet Master
). Later in 1926, Ilsa (now named Elsa) and Andre go to Cairo
, where Andre's (presumed 7th) living puppet, Mephisto, is burned to ash. An old merchant gives Toulon a new type of magic which Ilsa convinces Andre to learn from the merchant.
After the Cairo incident, Ilsa and Andre move to Berlin
and make four new puppets, Tunneler, Jester, Pinhead and Six-Shooter. Tunneler, Pinhead and Jester are based on their friends: Joseph Sebastion (Tunneler), an American Soldier who was captured and forced to work in the salt mines by the Nazis; Jester, a book-keeper named Hans Seiderman who the Toulons liked for his love of jokes and who was shot to death by the Nazis; and Pinhead, a kindhearted man called Herman Strauss who was killed for smuggling food into a work camp (Six-Shooter's identity was never revealed). Ilsa was murdered by Major Krauss when she tried to stop the Nazis from kidnapping Andre and the Puppets. Andre later made a vow that "Nothing will stop me from hunting every single one of you down, and you will cry for mercy and I will give none!" Andre later went to a morgue with Pinhead and Jester, where they took the tissue from Ilsa's corpse.
Back at their temporary camp, Andre injects the formula that he made from the tissue into the puppet of Ilsa he made for her. The puppet squirmed and writhed on the table but did not awaken, until Andre placed a leech
in the puppet's mouth; only then she sat up and gasped for air. The puppet's form changed slightly: Her skin became white, her eyes went black, and her hair became straight and black (Puppet Master III: Toulon's Revenge). In Puppet Master II, Andre's zombie form had Blade, Leech Woman, and Torch go to gather material for a new batch of fluid. Leech Woman is captured by an overweight woman and thrown into her fireplace after she killed her husband. Torch then set fire to the woman killing her to avenge Leech Woman. Charles Band, however, mentioned that Leech Woman was saved and revived, but was not present in Puppet Master 4
. Leech Woman's power is her ability to throw up her leeches (hence her name). In addition to her leeches she wields a small knife.

that has six arms, each holding a gun. Other than his guns, he has a red bandanna that moves by itself and emits a laugh. He is first shown in Puppet Master III: Toulon's Revenge. Other than sharpshooting, his skills include climbing walls like a spider.

, it is revealed that in real life, the retro version of Six-Shooter was once the person who first taught Andre how to animate inanimate objects. To this day, it's unknown who the Six-Shooter seen in the films was in real life. In Puppet Master: Axis of evil, Six shooter's arms makes a cameo in the movie, and his picture is seen also in the movie along with Torch as the credits roll.

Not much is known about Tunneler,despite him being one of Toulon's puppets, And he has appeared in all the Puppet Master films made by Full Moon. According to a trading card released by Fullmoon features,Tunneler's soul is Joseph Sebastian, a soldier who was forced to work in the Nazis' salt mines until he died.
Tunneler's namesake and main weapon is a cone-shaped power drill replacing his scalp; he usually kills his victims by charging them head-on with his drill running. Tunneler is more of a follower than a leader, rarely acting first.
