This is a list of characters from the Puppet Master series of films.

[edit] Puppets

[edit] Blade

Blade is considered the most popular puppet among fans, and is the only puppet besides Pinhead and Jester to appear in all the Puppet Master movies to date. He is 1'9" and weights 4 lbs and wears a gothic-styled appearance. He has a gaunt pale face with seemingly empty black eye sockets and long white hair and wears a black trench coat and wide-brimmed hat.

Blade was created by Andre Toulon and designed after Gestapo Major (Sturmbannführer) Krauss. He has the soul of Dr. Hess, a German scientist and medical doctor. He was used for evil under puppet masters Neil Gallagher, Andre Toulon (in Puppet Master II) and Dr. Magrew, all three of whom he later turned against. He was used for good under Rick Meyers, and Peter Hertz A.K.A. Eric Weiss whom he each served loyally. Blade has a sharp hook for one hand and knife for the other. He sometimes has spike-shaped "bullet eyes" that pop out of his sockets from time to time.

[edit] Jester

Jester, as well as Blade and Pinhead are the only characters to appear in each of the Puppet Master movies to date. He is 1'8" and weights one and a half pounds. Before he became a puppet, Jester was a man named Hans Seiderman. He was a bookkeeper who loved to play pranks and tell jokes. He was killed by the Nazis when his jokes went too far. 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. He holds a scepter which can sometimes be used as a weapon. He is sometimes credited as the "leader" of the puppets.

[edit] Pinhead

Pinhead, as well as Blade and Jester, are the only characters to appear in all the Puppet Master movies to date. He is 1'7" and weights 2 lbs. Before he became a puppet, Pinhead was a man named Herman Strauss. Strauss was a truck driver who secretly brought food to the Jewish ghettos. As a result, he was killed by the Nazis for treason. His retro version was the soul of a beggar Andre Toulon knew. The Retro version was the first puppet Toulon (with the help of Afzel) brought to life. 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. Pinhead's only power is his two big hands that can deliver quite a punch. His weakness is if someone removes his tiny bald head from his burly body.

[edit] Torch

Torch is one of the most popular puppets among fans and is the only one who starred in 2 Puppet Master movies (not including archive footage). There's nothing much about Torch's history. The only details are that he was built in Puppet Master II by Andre Toulon. Torch later betrayed Toulon and set him on fire. Afterwards, he assisted Camille torturing children at a mental institute. For unknown reasons, he appeared in Puppet Master 5: The Final Chapter assisting Rick Meyers for the forces of good. His fate is currently unknown. Torch has a flame-thrower for his right hand that is used to burn people alive.

[edit] Leech Woman

Leech Woman is 1'7" and weighs 2 lbs. She began as a young Swiss girl named Ilsa. Ilsa's father was an unloving Swiss ambassador. One night in 1902, while she and her father are in Paris, Ilsa goes to the Theater Magic where she meets 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. 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 Elsa convinces Andre to learn from the merchant.

After the Cairo incident, Elsa 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 by the Nazis; and Pinhead, a kindhearted man called Herman Strausse who was killed for smuggling food into a work camp (Six-Shooter's Identity was never revealed). Elsa was murdered by Major Krause 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 me mercy and I will have none!" Andre later went to a morgue with Pinhead and Jester, where they took the tissue from Elsa's corpse.

Back at their temporary camp, Andre injects the formula that he made from the tissue into the puppet of Elsa Andre made. 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. 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. Torch did this to avenge Leech Woman. Charles Band however mentioned that Leech Woman was saved and revived, but was not added in Puppet Master 2. Leech Woman's power is her ability to throw up her leeches (hence her name). In addition to her leeches she has a small knife.
