Leo Beck was once the owner of a small textile factory. After getting advice from his friend, Freddy Riley, he bought a small, debt-ridden gun factory.

Before Leo realized the destitute condition of the factory, his wife and Freddy Riley had already made off with all his money and disappeared.

Wallowing in debt, Leo Beck burned down the factory.

Investigation Notes

In one diary entry, he was punished not writing in his diary. But in other diaries, the bandaged face "returned to the game" as a hunter?
These diaries offer conflicting descriptions of the same game. This completely calls into question the integrity of the Hunter's records.

Letters

This section contains the letters the player receives after completing Leo's Character Day Event on December 21st each year. After the event they can be accessed in the file section of the character's Notebook page.

As Hell Ember's Character Day and Gardener's Birthday Events both fall on December 21st, these two characters share the same letters for their first two character events.

An unreceived letter (2019)

Dear Leo,
I know you won't be happy seeing this letter. In fact, I know you'll be pissed. Freddy proposed to me.
I said yes.
I'm not asking for your forgiveness with this letter. I know I'm about to do something really bad.
For the sake of Lisa, however, please consider carefully the investment we debated.
Competitions among weaving factories are fierce, I know.
But please, believe me, rifles are no "daily necessities".
Not to mention, why do you think people will buy rifles from you?
No one from the previous five generations of the Becks was good at hunting!
I'm sorry. There I go again.
I shouldn't tell you how to do business.
But my dear, I can't help but hope you will make a wise decision.
Take care of Lisa, and find a more suitable woman for yourself.

Once again, I'm really sorry.

Martha Remington

Evidence no. 24 of the Arms Factory Fire (2020)

(A stack of paper, the top sheet seemed to be an unsent letter with traces of repeated corrections)
Dear Lisa:
How are you doing at the orphanage? I've asked the priest to give you a bottle of milk every day. Do drink it, please. It's getting cold these days. You have a habit of kicking your blankets off at night. While you may have learned it from me, it's a bad habit and you must get rid of it.
As for your mother, the fact that she chose to leave has nothing to do with you. You aren't an unwanted child. She (the words were erased and couldn't be read).
My child, I have to leave this place to look for another way to make money. Don't come and find me.
You need to grow up and live a good life.
Going forward, remember not to trust people too easily. Live for yourself. You won't get lucky by being nice. It took Father too long to learn this lesson, but I know you're smart and you'll know what to do.
Lastly, remember our game with fire and scarecrow? That cursed factory would be your toy soon.
This is probably the only thing your useless Father can do for you.

A case review file left behind in the Sacred Heart Hospital (2021)

(A file with uniform specifications, the page number in the header is scarcely legible.)
[Item No.] ???-031
[Subject No.] 1-12-22-13
(Records of the surgery had been destroyed, only parts of the appendix were legible.)
Date: December 21, 1897
Informal record:
As with previous years, "Cinder" was unusually exuberant on December 21. The physical reason for such exuberance is still unknown. I can only blame it on the stimulation of the subject's remaining memory. It is unprofessional to make an assessment from a personal and emotional point of view rather than with experimental results or pathological experiences. Still, since this is just an informal note, I will make an assertion about this behavior: There are deeper reasons for "Cinder" to be being overly sensitive to that date than the fact that it was the date on which it set itself on fire. For instance, it may be the date when its family experienced a major change or the date associated with someone important.
If it can be ascertained, I may be able to find a way to stop this uncontrolled excitement, which will make the daily experiments easier.
After all, I can't deny that "Cinder" is an excellent subject for the experiment. In comparison, the behavior of most subjects in the experiment has been quite uniform, with approximately 85% chance of dying in the process. On the other hand, I got way more exciting possibilities from the reactions of "Cinder."
—This has been consistent for the past 10 years of experiment.
However, even though "Cinder" is worthy of academic exploration, I won't consider going public about this or allowing outsiders to visit at the moment. Anyway, "Cinder" was no longer relevant to the outside world since ten years ago. If that's the case, how did that mysterious man learn that "Cinder" is alive and where he can be found? This person has been writing more frequently these days. I should be more cautious when responding to his probing to avoid disclosing too much information to him.
Apart from that, I am also certain that being emotionally attached will affect my rational judgment.
Perhaps I shouldn't have named an experimental subject. After December 21, "Cinder" will simply be Subject No. 1-12-22-13.
(Subsequent information has been deliberately destroyed and has become illegible.)

Message Hidden Inside the Wooden Box Transported in Secret to Sacred Heart Hospital (2022)

B.A.
As you can see, the final behavioral log and the inactive organism indicate an unfortunate truth: the experiment on functional modification and mind control of Subject 1-12-22-13 failed.
Although the tests on Group 5 progressed smoothly, Subject 1-12-22-13's self-awareness broke free of the memory blockade at the end of the experiment, and Subject 1-12-22-13 regained some emotion as a result of Subject 4-1-1's provocation. Subsequently, Subject 1-12-22-13's behavior deteriorated from repeatedly disobeying orders to fierce resistance while displaying an inclination to attack the master. One that notes none of the 6 psychiatric treatments and medicines you provided have displayed positive results, and we've moved on to the 7th method—incineration.
As previously agreed, the experimental subject will be returned.
In addition, all relevant transaction records, correspondence, and investigation records on Sacred Heart Hospital's missing patients have been destroyed.
I look forward to working with you again.

A Message (2023)

That "sacrifice" didn't go his way, and neither did his final resistance. Until the day Leo Beck was reduced to ashes by the second fire, he never went against the instinct that ran deeper than "those modifications."

Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I (2024)

While investigating a series of old news stories linked to Lisa Beck and the events of White Sand Street, I turned my attention to Leo Beck, the main character in the "Arms Factory Fire." As the factory owner who perished in the blaze, he seemed to hold a unique significance among the individuals I was examining. After reviewing his file, I noticed several key "abnormalities" in Leo Beck that aligned with my understanding of his past.
...

Leo Beck

In the records, Leo Beck is referred to as 'Ember.' The reports highlight a particularly striking incident: all drug control measures failed to affect him.
It appeared that the organizers behind these measures harbored subjective biases about Leo Beck, which led them to initiate a purge driven by unfocused hatred. The failure of the drug control measures suggested that these biases needed reevaluation.

From what I understand of Leo Beck, his complexity arises from a long history of suppressing his true self, resulting in cathartic outbursts manifested solely through self-destructive behavior. These outbursts were deeply internal, rather than external. While there was a palpable sense of vengeance in him, my previous observations indicated that it did not constitute his primary value system. Notably, he attempted to take his own life twice; such a degree of autonomy is rarely found in others affected by similar circumstances.

These insights stem from my tumultuous experiences in Devonshire, where Leo Beck once lived and worked.
When I arrived at the "Minerva Factory," once a beacon of hope but now defunct, I found it had long since been replaced by new shops. The fragments of old news reports offered only a vague outline of the facts and failed to provide the specific information I sought. After struggling to gain much from straightforward interviews, I decided to adopt a new approach to my investigation.

The "Arms Factory Fire" in the past led to a devastating pipeline explosion, resulting in severe injuries to numerous workers who lived on-site. In light of this, I began researching medical records from nearby clinics that might pertain to the incident. I focused on records that matched the relevant timeframe, age group, and types of injuries. Fortunately, I eventually located a worker from the Minerva Factory who had sustained minor injuries in the fire and was willing to share his experiences.
What struck me was that this middle-aged man, with a stooped back, did not appear to harbor any resentment toward Leo Beck. He spoke with an urgency that suggested he had been anticipating this conversation as if he had been waiting for someone to ask about the truth behind the Arms Factory and its owner for years.
"Back then, many tried to form opinions about Leo based on just a few newspaper headlines," he told me. "I'm the only one who truly knew him, but no one ever listened to me."
When Leo was still running his textile factory, Mr. Hunt was already working for him. At the end of the year, he and a few other employees who had a good rapport with Leo would receive invitations to dine with the Beck family. According to Mr. Hunt, the Beck couple led a much more ordinary life than outsiders believed. Many intriguing rumors surrounded them, suggesting affairs and tragic incidents, but Leo was a man of few words, and conversations with his wife typically revolved around their daily needs. During that time, the textile factory was struggling financially. As people got to know the couple better, they began to notice Martha's remarkable capabilities. She would often visit various markets and factories on her own initiative, generating innovative ideas for improving the factory's operations and promoting their textile products. Despite the brilliance of her suggestions, they were rarely implemented for a variety of reasons.
When Martha became pregnant, Leo grew increasingly concerned for her health. His desire to take charge of and expand the business intensified, perhaps because he equated the "responsibilities of a father and husband" with the pursuit of better material conditions.

Mr. Hunt emphasized that, although many people were primarily interested in the heart-wrenching aspects of the family's story, he could sense their lasting happiness through various small details. He shared numerous anecdotes that "others didn't care about," most of which were trivial yet significant sources of joy for the family. For instance, when deciding on a name for their daughter, Leo gathered everyone together: "We racked our brains for elegant and unusual names." Ultimately, they chose "Lisa"—a delightful name that evokes smiles and laughter when spoken aloud.
After recalling these memories, Mr. Hunt's expression turned somber as he noted that the workers eventually recognized the change in the couple's relationship. Meanwhile, their mature little girl learned to navigate the growing silence in their home. Following Martha's departure, Leo's determination to improve their living conditions intensified. He remained committed to the arms factory, hoping that, after a brief period of loneliness, little Lisa would receive double the love she had lost.
"I'm not sure when it happened, but Leo started bringing his daughter to the factory. Unfortunately, there was nothing for her to play with, and then we learned that Martha had left."
"The factory was under immense financial pressure at that time, leaving Leo with little opportunity to spend time with her. Yet, he always rushed to her side, scooping her up whenever she climbed on top of the pile of boxes—an all-too-common and dangerous occurrence."
"The only time Leo truly lost his temper was when his daughter nearly got hurt during one of her climbs. In that moment, she revealed that since Mommy left, Daddy had been holding her less often. Leo apologized repeatedly, and it was clear to all of us just how deeply he felt about it."

"You already have some idea of what happened afterward. After Leo's daughter was sent to the orphanage, he began coming to the factory alone, reeking of alcohol. More and more of his belongings were sold off to pay his debts. We all believed he had been swindled. Sigh. But how could he bring himself to ask for help? The fire truly had serious consequences. Many of his colleagues' families harbored resentment toward him, which was understandable. Yet, I found myself unable to voice my thoughts."
"I never got the chance to see him one last time, and to my surprise, many people involved also vanished. If it weren't for the scars on my body and the questions you've asked, I doubt anyone would even remember that it happened."

The final correspondence regarding the orphanage before the fire sheds light on the last winter before Leo chose to end his life.
These were brief exchanges between the priest and Leo Beck. It's evident that Leo struggled with words; almost every letter included money for the priest to provide care for Lisa. I can easily envision the difficult life he endured during that cold winter, with his already meager income further diminished to set aside funds for his daughter. I often wondered how much of that money the priest pocketed and whether Leo's clumsy requests became fodder for gossip.
In his last two letters, Leo asked the priest to bring Lisa the teddy bear he had made for her. The doll was broken, but Leo was so occupied with work at the factory that he never found the time to repair it before sending his daughter to the orphanage. It was undoubtedly Lisa's only companion at that time. In his letters, Leo reassured the priest that he hadn't forgotten his promise to Lisa—that he would fix the doll and wanted the priest to convey messages to her, reminders about daily life.
Perhaps it was because, after his wife left, he realized that a home doesn't clean itself, and home-cooked meals don't appear on the table without effort. Leo enumerated all the scenarios he could imagine for a girl living alone, but when I saw his complex expressions, I felt he was simply trying to show his love for her. When it came to expressing "love," Leo never spoke about it openly. Yet, many truths emerged in the final moments of this factory owner's introspection.
Maybe sending Lisa to the orphanage once again disregarded her wishes—or perhaps Leo knew that all she really wanted was to be with him. But I fear that by the time he made the decision to separate them, he was already contemplating the execution of his final project.
It was only after I arrived here that I discovered the last letter containing Leo Beck's final confession. This letter was emotionally charged, perhaps too much for him, and it was never sent. However, there is no doubt that the thoughts occupying Leo's mind in those final moments held deep significance for him.

Leo Beck: Investigation Field Notes II (2025)

When I sought to place Leo Beck at the center of my inquiries, attempting thereby to bring into sharper focus the truth behind the Arms Factory fire and the chain of events entwined with it, I came face-to-face with a blind spot in my earlier investigations. It was a matter touching upon the very origins of my subject: Before he was the factory owner, and before he became Martha Remington's husband and Lisa Beck's father. Who, in truth, was Leo Beck?

In my estimation, to approach the true figure beneath that name, one must peel away, if only for a moment, the triple mantle of husband, father, and factory owner, and return to an earlier chapter, back to the days when the household workshop still set the rhythm of life; when he was unencumbered by public roles, not yet bowed beneath the pressures of survival, and could exist simply as himself.
A former worker, lightly affected by the fire, guided me in my pursuit. He carefully wrote an address on paper and handed it to me with earnest expression: "In the past, Leo often spoke of that place in idle moments. He has not returned for many years, but I believe he must still hold it dear."
By my reckoning, many years had already passed since Leo Beck had left that address behind. Just as it was near impossible to find unvarnished, first-hand accounts in the shadow of the Minerva Arms Factory, I held little hope for the old dwelling to yield anything of significance. The textile industry had changed too swiftly; the rural homestead was likely abandoned and stripped of clues. And yet, after half a day's travel and repeated inquiries, I found myself standing beside a disused house on the edge of a quiet hamlet, a hamlet under the jurisdiction of Coventry county, the very place where Leo Beck was born and raised.

The waterwheel at the door leaned precariously, all but ready to collapse. Through the dim light filtering at an angle through the windows, I could see the room within. It was tidy, but hollow; few furnishings were worthy of note. In the corner, an abandoned loom rested in silence, its threads broken and webbed in dust. A shaft of sun revealed a handful of photographs upon the mantel, though my distance prevented me from discerning the faces. I was about to turn away when a voice, rasped with age, called out behind me.
"What business do you have with that family? They moved away long ago!"
The speaker was an elderly woman. Fortune favored me, for after a brief exchange, I learned she had, in her youth, worked alongside Leo Beck's mother in the textile mill. Her memories of the Becks were orderly and keen. She recalled that soon after marriage, Mrs. Beck left the mill to establish a small home workshop. It was neither grand nor spacious, yet the loom clattered day and night ceaselessly. Life remained modest, but was safer than the rougher conditions at the factory, and Mr. Beck was often at home to assist. In her telling, such an arrangement made the days decidedly better.
When speaking of Leo Beck himself, the woman's recollections formed a hazy image, somewhere between boy and young man. She told how he would run errands for a few coins, only to lose his way at night and suffer the jeers of youths from a neighboring village. She described, with a degree of animation, how he bore such indignities—silent, withdrawn—sitting quietly aside as his mother worked, helping by clearing away the cotton bales.
From her slow recounting emerged a placid scene: the young Beck's life marked by the rise and fall of the shuttle and the steady creak of wheels. Yet, after these calmer memories, her tone shifted, speaking of an ailment common among women in the textile trade. The symptoms, though not deadly in themselves, weighed heavily on frail bodies. In her account, there was an unmistakable undercurrent—admiration, and perhaps a trace of envy.
"How old was he when his mother took ill? We'd all grown accustomed to seeing such sickness, but his father spared no expense. He hired a fine physician. Thankfully, she made a full recovery. Quite the cost, though! They quarreled for some time over whether to sell the loom."
"From then on, Leo ceased his careless wanderings. He seemed more burdened, more serious in aiding the household work. And you'd never guess, miss, for all his clumsy appearance, his hands were remarkably deft! Why, I once saw the scarf his mother had woven for him."

In the woman's memories, Leo Beck displayed a peculiar precision in his work. He had a care not confined to the craft alone. As he grew older, he assumed the family business without hesitation and soon decided to transform it. The transition from home workshop to factory was long and fraught, yet in matters of borrowing to purchase machinery or engaging workers, his conduct was notably sound. To him, the duties of a factory master appeared as no more than another daily labor honed through years of quiet discipline. Whether these decisions were animated by ambition, I cannot say. The dawn of that era was, perhaps, a time when ordinary folk stood a fair chance of advancing themselves. But from her account, I discerned in Leo Beck a rare and weighty grasp of responsibility—a word which seemed to find a natural home upon his shoulders.
"Leo was born for the textile trade! When they moved to Coventry county, I exchanged letters with his mother from time to time—then, for reasons unknown, our communication ceased. Still, I always thought he'd go far. He belonged to the wider world, to those grand factories beyond our fields! Are they well, I wonder? You're a journalist, aren't you, miss? You're here to tell of their illustrious past, yes?"
I paused, then replied: "I am in the process of writing an account of his life."
She was aged now, and perhaps her hearing had long declined; she did not catch the slight hesitation in my voice.

For Leo Beck, abandoning the textile business was no small gamble. It meant not only the disruption of livelihood but the relinquishment of a lifelong sense of safety. From her narrative, it was plain that in his short life, duty pressed him toward innumerable calculations of advantage and loss. Fate laid upon him ever heavier burdens, until, at last, his future narrowed to but a few uncertain paths. The telling, of course, bore the polish of nostalgia. Yet within these fragments lay enough to sketch the central motif of Leo Beck's existence: a steadfast devotion to responsibility. And it was this devotion that, in his final hour, led him instinctively to stand as guardian, and to shoulder the weight he believed was his. Such a stance is hard to distort, and perhaps it is precisely that which no experiment may reproduce or command.

Still, after completing this return to origins, I found myself confronted by an inescapable contradiction—Leo Beck's disappearance. Previously, for lack of leads, I had put my search for his whereabouts on hold. But reviewing his past anew confirmed my suspicions: the popular rumor of his survival after the Arms Factory fire is untenable, unless some unrecorded turn of events intervened. Otherwise, there is no accounting for why he never sought out his daughter. Could this pivotal word—disappearance—be, under bold conjecture, linked to the chain of vanishings in another place entirely? I cannot yet say. But I am certain that somewhere there lies a thread that will draw these mysteries into clearer view.

Compiled Overview

The following section contains an overview based on canon information.

Please note that some information may be missing as it may not have been provided from official sources. See the given references for further information.

Personal Life

Leo Beck was the owner of a small textile factory located in Devonshire, southern England, which he managed with the help of his wife Martha Remington. The two were married together on March 14th, 1874^{[OV 1]}. At the time, the factory was in a state of financial struggle^{[OV 2]}, partly due to the textile industrial sector being a fiercely competitive environment^{[OV 3]}. Despite this, the business was still able to employ several workers in addition to Leo himself, including one Mr. Hunt, who enjoyed a particularly close relation to his employer^{[OV 4]}. In an attempt to remedy this and improve its performance, Martha would often visit markets and rivaling factories of her own initiative to promote their products and seek new ideas to implement, ideas that were however often refused by Leo^{[OV 5]}.

Not long after their marriage the couple conceived a child, Lisa Beck, who was born on December 21st, 1876^{[OV 6]}. Soon after Martha became pregnant with the child, Leo's preoccupation with her health and with securing the family a prosperous future intensified greatly^{[OV 7]}, and with their business currently struggling, it eventually led him to hire the help of a financial advisor, the lawyer Freddy Riley. However, the situation between husband and wife soon began to deteriorate, escalated by the ever worsening economic conditions the family found itself in, with fights becoming more and more common inside the household^{[OV 8]} and the couple being slowly driven further apart over the years. This shift in their relationship became apparent to their own young daughter^{[OV 9]}, and eventually, was noticeable by outsiders as well^{[OV 10]}.

Investment in Minerva Arms Factory

Leo Beck, and a young in a damaged family photo'"`UNIQ--ref-0000005F-QINU`"'. — Leo Beck, Martha Remington and a young Lisa Beck in a damaged family photo^{[OVN 2]}.

The tense situation between husband and wife was also noticed by the hired advisor, the lawyer Freddy Riley. Freddy had gotten quite close to the family over the years^{[OV 11]} and had become deeply enamoured with Martha. He sought to exploit the couple's collapsing marriage to drive them further apart and pursue a relationship with her. He began making his sentiments clear to her through the exchange of secret love letters^{[OV 12]}, all while scheming a plan to bring the family additional economic hardship, and by consequence, damage their already unstable emotional bond. Freddy convinced Leo, who lacked any experience in financial investment^{[OV 13]} and in the field of arms dealership^{[OV 14]}, to give up his and Martha's textile factory in favor of acquiring a severely indebted weapons and munition production facility, Minerva Arms Factory. Leo was deceivingly reassured that, despite the business' notable debt, a profit could be turned from it^{[OV 15]}. When Leo brought up his intention to give up their factory and invest in Minerva Armory, Martha firmly opposed the idea and tried to convince her husband to change his mind^{[OV 16]}, to no avail.

These events proved to be too much for Martha, as she became disillusioned with her relationship. Following Freddy's proposal to her^{[OV 17]}, she decided to leave her family and start a new life with him before the investment could be finalized. One day, she left the house without her husband's knowledge, only apologizing to her daughter Lisa before departing^{[OV 18]}^{[OVN 3]}. After leaving, she attempted to explain her sentiments to Leo through a letter and begged him to reconsider his decision, a letter which however would remain unreceived^{[OV 19]}. This deeply shook both Leo and Lisa, with the former now even more determined to improve his and his daughter's conditions^{[OV 20]} and the latter experiencing feelings of loneliness and abandonment^{[OV 21]}. Leo committed to the investment, still convinced that Minerva Arms Factory could prove to be the source of wellbeing they both needed^{[OV 22]}, and eventually closed his textile business in favor of managing the arms facility, employing his former workers into the newly acquired factory^{[OV 23]}.

A newspaper article reporting the investment in by Leo Beck'"`UNIQ--ref-0000006E-QINU`"'. — A newspaper article reporting the investment in Minerva Arms Factory by Leo Beck^{[OVN 4]}.

With Minerva Armory once again in operation, Leo took on the habit of bringing his daughter on the workplace^{[OV 24]}. With nothing for the little girl to play with, Lisa would often find herself in potentially dangerous situations^{[OV 25]}, during which Leo was quick to intervene and assist her despite the busy schedule^{[OV 26]}. The hard work was not paying off however and Minerva Armory's dues soon began outpacing its profits, to the point that Leo began selling his own personal belongings in order to cover some of these debts^{[OV 27]}. The financial situation of the Beck family kept worsening, with Leo slowly sinking into alcoholism and desperation^{[OV 28]}, so much so that thieves took advantage of his frequent absence and altered state to break into his house and steal what little was still around^{[OV 29]}. The true nature of Freddy's scheme soon became clear, first to the factory workers and then to Leo himself^{[OV 30]}.

Eventually, Leo reached the point of being unable to afford caring for Lisa^{[OV 31]}. Some time in 1884 or 1885^{[OV 32]}, he decided to send her to live at the local White Sand Street Orphanage so she could be looked after by the Church, which ran the facility at the time. In the time that followed he attempted to maintain stable contact with the orphanage through letters, which often included gifts for his daughter^{[OV 33]} and what little money he still possessed, requesting the Church staff use it to afford food and necessities for Lisa^{[OV 34]}, although it's unclear whether these funds were used for their intended purpose^{[OV 35]}.

Fire Incident

This desperate situation became too much for Leo to bear, and feeling like he had failed his only daughter^{[OV 36]}, he decided to take his own life. He planned to do so by setting Minerva Arms Factory ablaze, carried out without the knowledge of his workers^{[OV 37]} or his daughter Lisa^{[OV 38]}. This act went beyond simple vengeance on the investment that had caused him and his family so much harm however, as before doing so, he would register an insurance plan for the facility, indicating his daughter as the recipient of the compensation fund that would follow the accident^{[OV 39]}. As one final goodbye to Lisa, he wrote a letter warning her that he'd be leaving soon and reminding her to put herself first in life, a message that would however remain unsent^{[OV 40]}. On December 21st, 1887^{[OV 41]}, he put his plan into action.

engulfed in flames'"`UNIQ--ref-00000081-QINU`"'. — Minerva Arms Factory engulfed in flames^{[OVN 5]}.

When the fire broke out, the building was entirely destroyed by the engulfing flames. Surrounded by the blazing heat that would soon end his life, Leo decided to inscribe one last message on the wall of the factory: "I will find you^{[OV 42]}." Once the flames died down, this message was one of the few things that were found on the site among the burnt ruins and tattered remains^{[OV 43]}. The fire caused severe damage beyond the factory building alone as it triggered the violent explosion of a nearby pipeline, spreading the flames to the dwellings of Minerva Arms Factory workers in the surrounding area and severely injuring several people^{[OV 44]}. This caused deep resentment in many of Leo's former employees in the period that followed, although a few of them like Mr. Hunt still maintained some sympathy for their past employer and the difficult final period of his life^{[OV 45]}. As quickly as it had happened, the incident was forgotten about in the years that followed, and the burnt remains were eventually demolished to make way for new buildings and shops^{[OV 46]}.

Events at the Manor

Leo Beck, however, survived the Minerva Arms Factory fire. Right after the flames died down^{[OV 47]}, he was apprehended by an unknown group that would later work with Oletus Manor^{[OV 48]}, including one individual simply known as B.A.^{[OV 49]} and brought to Sacred Heart Hospital to heal^{[OV 50]}. His presence at the hospital was kept a secret to the public^{[OV 51]}, and after a period of recovery, Leo was selected as a subject for the group's experiment plan^{[OV 52]}. Over the next years, he was routinely subjected to heavy drugs for behavioural control and emotional suppression, with the purpose of creating a fully dependent and obedient subject^{[OV 53]} to eventually reveal to the wider academic community^{[OV 54]}.

For over a decade^{[OV 55]}, Leo was deployed in numerous tests. His name was discarded in favour of the number identification "1-12-22-13," but was often simply referred to by B.A. through a nickname, "Ember^{[OV 56]}." Originally participating in tests as an ordinary subject, his repeated disobedience led his captors to shift their approach and instead deploy him in the role of a violent pursuer, a "Hunter^{[OV 57]}." Although the fire had caused permanent damage to his body^{[OV 58]}, under the effect of the administered drugs he showed great resilience and survival skills in deadly situations, as well as capacity to enact and carry out violence and harm onto other test subjects^{[OV 59]}. While these earned him the praise and interest of his captors^{[OV 60]}, "Ember" also often displayed concerning episodes of lack of obedience and even active resistance against the experiment staff, especially so on each year's December 21st, where his past life's memories would surface and cause notorious emotional outbursts^{[OV 61]}.

In July 1899^{[OV 62]} he was selected to appear in a test with experiment Group 5^{[OV 63]}, which included test subjects connected to his past life: lawyer Freddy Riley, the financial advisor that had deceived "Ember" into investing in Minerva Armory; former owner of White Sand Street Orphanage Kreacher Pierson, who oversaw his daughter's stay at the facility; former doctor Lydia Jones, now in hiding under the name "Emily Dyer," who subjected his daughter to electroshock sessions and accidentally caused Martha Remington's death; finally, his own daughter, Lisa Beck, now having assumed the new identity of "Emma Woods." The test was to be carried out within an exact replica of the now demolished Minerva Arms Factory^{[OV 64]}.

The phrase "I will find you" inscribed on a wall of the building, also included in the replica featured in the experimental game'"`UNIQ--ref-00000099-QINU`"'. — The phrase "I will find you" inscribed on a wall of the Minerva Arms Factory building, also included in the replica featured in the experimental game^{[OVN 6]}.

On July 13th, 1899^{[OV 62]}, the test finally began. During the first portion of the experiment, "Ember" acted according to his captors' expectations, unleashing great violence and killing both Emily^{[OV 65]} and Freddy^{[OV 66]}. With Kreacher's earlier death by immolation^{[OV 67]}, this left him alone with his now grown daughter, Emma Woods. Once he caught up with her however, his inner memories and emotions gained him partial control over the drugs, allowing him to recognize her and stop himself from attacking^{[OV 68]}. As he laid his eyes on his own daughter for the first time after over a decade, he called her out by her past name, "Lisa.^{[OV 69]}" However Emma, under the effects of the heavy drugs she had been administered^{[OV 70]}, did not recognize him nor the name he was calling^{[OV 71]}, and escaped the factory. This interaction would finally conclude the experiment^{[OV 72]}.

"Ember's" behavior towards his daughter disappointed and angered the experiment staff^{[OV 73]}. After consideration, they deemed the effort of attempting to maintain control and quell his resistance too great to be worth pursuing, and decided instead to eliminate the test subject altogether^{[OV 74]}. Leo Beck would be killed through incineration some time in 1899^{[OV 75]}.

↑ The Diary segments for Emma Woods and Emily Dyer shows them accessing and exploring the Arms Factory. It is however implied that this version is actually a copy of the original Minerva Arms Factory. Freddy Riley mentions during Doctor's Diary segment that he believes Arms Factory to be a replica of the original Minerva Armory.

Alice DeRoss also mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, that: "When I arrived at the "Minerva Factory," once a beacon of hope but now defunct, I found it had long since been replaced by new shops."
This implies the original Minerva Arms Factory had long since been demolished and replaced with new buildings.
↑ The Diary segments for Emma Woods and Emily Dyer show them access Arms Factory, beginning their Manor Game, on July 13th.
↑ As Emma Woods' age is listed as 22 years old in her Relations Menu, this can be assumed to be the age at which her Manor game took place. We can determine her birth date to be December 21st, 1876 due to the conclusion of Lawyer's 6th Deduction Quest, Troublemaker, mentioning: "A letter: Leo Beck and Martha Beck invite Freddy to attend Lisa's first birthday party on December 21st, 1877."
This implies that Lisa was born a year earlier, on the same date in 1876. This would place a 22 years old Emma involved in the Manor game that took place in July in the year 1899.
↑ It should be noted that Hell Ember's serial number is different from those of other subjects in most of the Manor Games, possibly because it was assigned by B.A. and the other experiment staff at Sacred Heart Hospital rather than the usual authors of the other experiment files. It is further implied B.A. assigned Leo his serial number in Hell Ember's 3rd Character Day Letter, A case review file left behind in the Sacred Heart Hospital, where B.A: mentions: "Perhaps I shouldn't have named an experimental subject. After December 21, "Cinder" will simply be Subject No. 1-12-22-13."
↑ ^5.0 ^5.1 Emily Dyer is shown being attacked by Hell Ember in her Diary segments, leading to her elimination.

Lawyer's 2023 Birthday Event questions mention that: "Question 5: "Whose elimination was closely linked to Freddy Riley?" ", with the correct answer being the option: "Emily Dyer"
↑ ^6.0 ^6.1 ^6.2 ^6.3 Emma Woods appears to be the only survivor of the "Thistle Thorn" Manor game. She mentions in Gardener's 4th Birthday Letter, A Letter Attached with Dried Thistle and Without Recipient Information, that: "My new friends in this group warned me in secret to keep a record of everything, just in case my memories would start to deceive me."
This shows that Emma survived the experiment and fled Arms Factory, leading to her immediate inclusion into another test group which didn't include her past teammates.

Later in the same letter, she also mentions that: "Yes, I've won the previous round, for now [...]"
↑ It's implied that Hell Ember spared Emma's life once he recognized her, despite the heavy behavioral drugs he was subjected to, and allowed her to escape the Arms Factory. Emma Woods mentions in Gardener's 4th Birthday Letter, A Letter Attached with Dried Thistle and Without Recipient Information, in regards to her interaction with Hell Ember: "Lisa, Lisa... I don't know why, but writing this name makes my eyes sting.
Maybe that weirdo knows me, but I'm unable to place him in any of my puzzle pieces."

An un unknown author mentions in Hell Ember's 4th Character Day Letter, Message Hidden Inside the Wooden Box Transported in Secret to Sacred Heart Hospital, that: "Subject 1-12-22-13's self-awareness broke free of the memory blockade at the end of the experiment, and Subject 1-12-22-13 regained some emotion as a result of Subject 4-1-1's provocation."

Alice DeRoss mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, in regards to the experimentation staff: "The reports highlight a particularly striking incident: all drug control measures failed to affect him."
↑ ^8.0 ^8.1 Kreacher Pierson is shown being burnt alive while inside of Mr. Skelkro by Emma Woods in her Diary segments, leading to his elimination.

An unknown author mentions in Thief's 3rd Birthday Letter, A Page from Kreacher Pierson's Experiment File, that: "4-0-2 was the first subject to be eliminated from the game. He was immobilized by Subject 4-1-1's trap in the manor."

An unknown author mentions in Gardener's 3rd Birthday Letter, A Page from Emma Woods' Experiment File, in regards to Kreacher Pierson that: "In contrast, during this process, Subject 4-1-1 persisted in her revenge plan against Subject 4-0-2. In the game, Subject 4-1-1 burned the scarecrow to symbolize her revenge."
↑ An unknown author mentions in Lawyer's 3rd Birthday Letter, A Page from Freddy Riley's Experiment File, in regards to Freddy Riley that: "[...] but this behavioral characteristic was limited to his exchanges with No. 4-0-4, making him less careful against the deadlier threat."
The wording implies that his careful attitude lessened once Emily Dyer had been eliminated, causing him to fall victim to Hell Ember.

The conclusion of Gardener's 2nd Deduction Quest, New Friend, also mentions: "A diary entry, in clumsy handwriting: Father's new friend is a young gentleman with a suit and shiny hair. He is very friendly and always brings flowers."
This suggests Freddy's relationship with the family grew closer over the years after Lisa's birth, and that he frequented the household consistently.

↑ Leo Beck mentions in Hell Ember's and Gardener's shared 2nd Character Day/Birthday Letter, Evidence no. 24 of the Arms Factory Fire, in regards to Lisa Beck: "As for your mother, the fact that she chose to leave has nothing to do with you. You aren't an unwanted child."

Mr. Hunt mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, in regards to Lisa Beck: "[...] she revealed that since Mommy left, Daddy had been holding her less often. Leo apologized repeatedly, and it was clear to all of us just how deeply he felt about it."

The conclusion of Gardener's 9th Deduction Quest, Destroy, also mentions regarding Lisa Beck's view on the current state of the family: "I don't know what has happened, but this feeling is awful."

Gardener's dialogue during the April's Story Event further emphasizes how the abandonment affected her, mentioning: "But later on I realized everyone had something they wanted to escape from. For them... it was me."

"But eventually, there will be a person who refuses to let go, who doesn't understand how things are... That terrible fire... It took away the person I loved most, and my will to live."
↑ An unknown author mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, in regards to Leo Beck: "He remained committed to the arms factory, hoping that, after a brief period of loneliness, little Lisa would receive double the love she had lost."
↑ An unknown author mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, in regards to Mr. Hunt: "[...] a worker from the Minerva Factory who had sustained minor injuries in the fire and was willing to share his experiences."
This may suggest that other workers, formerly employed at the textile factory, were later brought over to Minerva Arms Factory, including Mr. Hunt.
↑ Mr. Hunt mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, that: "I'm not sure when it happened, but Leo started bringing his daughter to the factory."
↑ Mr. Hunt mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, in regards to Lisa Beck: "Unfortunately, there was nothing for her to play with [...]"
He also later mentions in the same Letter that: "The only time Leo truly lost his temper was when his daughter nearly got hurt during one of her climbs."
↑ Mr. Hunt mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, in regards to Leo and Lisa Beck: "The factory was under immense financial pressure at that time, leaving Leo with little opportunity to spend time with her. Yet, he always rushed to her side, scooping her up whenever she climbed on top of the pile of boxes—an all-too-common and dangerous occurrence."
↑ The conclusion of Gardener's 9th Deduction Quest, Destroy, mentions: "Father drank too much and began selling things from home."

Mr. Hunt also mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, in regards to Leo Beck: "More and more of his belongings were sold off to pay his debts."
↑ The conclusion of Gardener's 9th Deduction Quest, Destroy, mentions: "Father drank too much and began selling things from home."

↑ The conclusion of Gardener's 9th Deduction Quest, Destroy, mentions: "Sometimes strangers would break into the house and take things."
↑ Mr. Hunt mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, in regards to Leo Beck: "We all believed he had been swindled. Sigh. But how could he bring himself to ask for help?"
↑ The introduction of Gardener's 8th Deduction Quest, Escape, mentions: "He sent me away before disaster struck. And now it's just me here."
The wording, from Lisa Beck's perspective, implies the young girl at least recognized her father's reasoning for sending her to White Sand Street Orphanage, in order to escape the worsening living conditions and their consequences.
↑ The conclusion of Gardener's 8th Deduction Quest, Escape, mentions: "Photo: An eight- or nine-year-old girl standing in front of an orphanage. The lower right corner reads: "My beloved Lisa" "
As Lisa was born on December 21st, 1876, this would place her arrival at White Sand Street Orphanage either on 1884 or 1885 when, as the conclusion mentions, she would have been 8 or 9 years old.
↑ An unknown author mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, that: "In his last two letters, Leo asked the priest to bring Lisa the teddy bear he had made for her."
↑ An unknown author mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, that: "[...] almost every letter included money for the priest to provide care for Lisa."
↑ An unknown author mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, regarding the monetary inclusions: "I often wondered how much of that money the priest pocketed and whether Leo's clumsy requests became fodder for gossip."
↑ Leo Beck mentions in Hell Ember's and Gardener's shared 2nd Character Day/Birthday Letter, Evidence no. 24 of the Arms Factory Fire, in regards to Lisa Beck: "This is probably the only thing your useless Father can do for you."
↑ Mr. Hunt mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, in regards to Leo Beck: "I never got the chance to see him one last time [...]"
↑ Leo Beck mentions in Hell Ember's and Gardener's shared 2nd Character Day/Birthday Letter, Evidence no. 24 of the Arms Factory Fire, in regards to Lisa Beck: "My child, I have to leave this place to look for another way to make money. Don't come and find me."
↑ Leo Beck mentions in Hell Ember's and Gardener's shared 2nd Character Day/Birthday Letter, Evidence no. 24 of the Arms Factory Fire, in regards to Lisa Beck: "That cursed factory would be your toy soon."
This portion of the letter makes Leo's feelings of vengeance towards the factory fire clear, while also implying that something positive may come out of its destruction afterall.

In the same letter, it is also mentioned: "There were also a stack of invoices beneath the letter. On an exposed corner, it read:
Beneficiary of Compensation: Lisa Beck"
↑ A note mentions in Hell Ember's and Gardener's shared 2nd Character Day/Birthday Letter, Evidence no. 24 of the Arms Factory Fire, that: "(A stack of paper, the top sheet seemed to be an unsent letter with traces of repeated corrections)"

An unknown author also mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, that: "This letter was emotionally charged, perhaps too much for him, and it was never sent."
↑ B.A. mentions in Hell Ember's 3rd Character Day Letter, A case review file left behind in the Sacred Heart Hospital, in regards to Leo Beck's unusual behavior on December 21st: "There are deeper reasons for "Cinder" to be being overly sensitive to that date than the fact that it was the date on which it set itself on fire."
This confirms that Leo Beck carried out his plan to set Minerva Arms Factory on fire on December 21st.

The same letter also mentions, in regards to Leo Beck's unusual behavior on December 21st, that: "This has been consistent for the past 10 years of experiment."
As the letter is dated: "December 21, 1897", it can be assumed Leo's apprehension was carried out exactly 10 years before, on December 21st, 1887, on the day that the fire broke out.
↑ The conclusion of Hell Ember's 3rd Deduction Quest, Pursuit, mentions: "They also found these words on the wall: I will find you."
↑ The conclusion of Hell Ember's 3rd Deduction Quest, Pursuit, mentions: "Secret 2: After the fire, people found burn marks and a few pieces of tattered clothing in what remained of the building."
↑ An unknown author mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, that: "The "Arms Factory Fire" in the past led to a devastating pipeline explosion, resulting in severe injuries to numerous workers who lived on-site."

Mr. Hunt also mentions in the same letter that: "The fire truly had serious consequences."
↑ An unknown author mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, in regards to Mr. Hunt: "What struck me was that this middle-aged man, with a stooped back, did not appear to harbor any resentment toward Leo Beck."

Mr. Hunt also mentions in the same letter that: "Many of his colleagues' families harbored resentment toward him, which was understandable. Yet, I found myself unable to voice my thoughts."
↑ An unknown author mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, in regards to Minerva Arms Factory: "When I arrived at the "Minerva Factory," once a beacon of hope but now defunct, I found it had long since been replaced by new shops."

She also mentions later in the same letter that: "After struggling to gain much from straightforward interviews, I decided to adopt a new approach to my investigation."

Mr. Hunt also mentions in the same letter that: "[...] and to my surprise, many people involved also vanished. If it weren't for the scars on my body and the questions you've asked, I doubt anyone would even remember that it happened."
↑ The conclusion of Hell Ember's 3rd Deduction Quest, Pursuit, mentions: "After the fire, people found burn marks and a few pieces of tattered clothing in what remained of the building. They also found these words on the wall: I will find you."
As the conclusion mentions that the only things found at the site were remains and the inscribed phrase, it can be assumed that Leo was found and transported to Sacred Heart Hospital relatively quickly after the incident, before reporters and officials could arrive.
↑ As Hell Ember's Manor game was carried out with a group of test subjects temporarily held in Oletus Manor, it is clear that the Sacred Heart Hospital experiment staff mentioned in Hell Ember's 3rd Character Day Letter, A case review file left behind in the Sacred Heart Hospital, was in contact with, or a divison of, the wider experiments plan carried out at the Manor.
↑ As Hell Ember's 4th Character Day Letter, Message Hidden Inside the Wooden Box Transported in Secret to Sacred Heart Hospital, is addressed to B.A. and its title mentions its destination being Sacred Heart Hospital, it can be assumed that B.A. was stationed at the hospital. This also makes him the likely author of Hell Ember's 3rd Character Day Letter, A case review file left behind in the Sacred Heart Hospital, as he is clearly a figure of relevance within the experiment group he is part of.
↑ The conclusion of Hell Ember's 1st Deduction Quest, Fury, mentions: "Secret 1: An old prescription pad with rudimentary burn treatments. "The burn surface must be isolated from the air. Apply oil (lamp oil, salad oil, or butter) to the wound surface, then apply flour, gypsum, or ground charcoal evenly by sprinkling. Apply daily, and do not bathe or wipe the wound for two weeks." "
↑ B.A. mentions in Hell Ember's 3rd Character Day Letter, A case review file left behind in the Sacred Heart Hospital, in regards to Leo Beck: "I won't consider going public about this or allowing outsiders to visit at the moment."
↑ B.A. mentions in Hell Ember's 3rd Character Day Letter, A case review file left behind in the Sacred Heart Hospital, in regards to Leo Beck's performance in the past years' experimentation: "This has been consistent for the past 10 years of experiment."
The wording of the letter implies Leo has been deployed consistently for the past decade in several experiments, rather than only in his Manor game.
↑ An un unknown author mentions in Hell Ember's 4th Character Day Letter, Message Hidden Inside the Wooden Box Transported in Secret to Sacred Heart Hospital, in regards to Leo Beck's experiments: "[...] the experiment on functional modification and mind control of Subject 1-12-22-13 failed."
↑ B.A. mentions in Hell Ember's 3rd Character Day Letter, A case review file left behind in the Sacred Heart Hospital, in regards to Leo Beck's experimentation: "However, even though "Cinder" is worthy of academic exploration, I won't consider going public about this or allowing outsiders to visit at the moment."
↑ B.A. mentions in Hell Ember's 3rd Character Day Letter, A case review file left behind in the Sacred Heart Hospital, in regards to Leo Beck's performance in the past years' experimentation: "This has been consistent for the past 10 years of experiment."
As the report precedes Leo Beck's Manor game and subsequent death, it can be assumed that Leo Beck was deployed in additional experiments and tests after the document's drafting, increasing his time in captivity to over a decade.
↑ B.A. mentions in Hell Ember's 3rd Character Day Letter, A case review file left behind in the Sacred Heart Hospital, in regards to Leo Beck's experimentation: "After December 21, "Cinder" will simply be Subject No. 1-12-22-13."
This suggests that for the past years since the report's release, Leo was consistently referred to as "Ember" rather than by his test identification. It's important to note that while Hell Ember's 3rd and 4th Letters refer to Leo as "Cinder," his 6th Letter instead refers to him as "Ember." The previous iteration of the 3rd Letter's Summary, found in his Relations Menu interface, also used to refer to him as "Cinder" before later being updated to call him "Ember."
↑ The Detective mentions in the Investigation Notes Menu, regarding Leo Beck's initial role as a Survivor: "In one diary entry, he was punished not writing in his diary. But in other diaries, the bandaged face "returned to the game" as a hunter?
These diaries offer conflicting descriptions of the same game."
↑ Hell Ember's bandaged and drastically changed appearance compared to his old photos, including wounded arms and scarred skin, display severe and lasting damage in the years after the incident. It is also suggested that Leo Beck suffered permanent dmage to his vocal chords, as Hell Ember's rumor during the Fourth Beta Test period mentions: "With burnt vocal cords that only produce a hoarse sound, and a disfigured face covered in bandages, what can the hatred that has risen from the ashes consume to satisfy?". The original Chinese text for the rumor is: "烧焦的声带只能扯出声声嘶哑,已经毁容的脸缠满了绷带,灰烬中复生的仇恨到底吞噬掉什么才能满足?"
While this information is omitted in Hell Ember's current rumor, it's still implied to be the case in Gardener's 4th Birthday Letter, A Letter Attached with Dried Thistle and Without Recipient Information, where it mentions: "[...] I think I heard that weirdo struggling to speak a name that was unfamiliar to me — Lisa."
It is further enforced in Orfeo's Game, where Mysterious Factory Owner is depicted as struggling to speak.
↑ B.A. mentions in Hell Ember's 3rd Character Day Letter, A case review file left behind in the Sacred Heart Hospital, in regards to Leo Beck's performance in the past years' experimentation: "After all, I can't deny that "Cinder" is an excellent subject for the experiment. In comparison, the behavior of most subjects in the experiment has been quite uniform, with approximately 85% chance of dying in the process"

The conclusion of Hell Ember's 2nd Deduction Quest, Persistence, mentions: "Leo Beck grips his targets tightly and doesn't let them go."

The conclusion of Hell Ember's 5th Deduction Quest, Cat and Mouse, mentions: "Leo Beck has found joy in this dull position as a hunter."
↑ B.A. mentions in Hell Ember's 3rd Character Day Letter, A case review file left behind in the Sacred Heart Hospital, in regards to Leo Beck's performance in the past years' experimentation: "After all, I can't deny that "Cinder" is an excellent subject for the experiment."
↑ B.A. mentions in Hell Ember's 3rd Character Day Letter, A case review file left behind in the Sacred Heart Hospital, in regards to Leo Beck: "As with previous years, "Cinder" was unusually exuberant on December 21."

An unknown author also mentions in Hell Ember's 4th Character Day Letter, Message Hidden Inside the Wooden Box Transported in Secret to Sacred Heart Hospital, that: "[...] Subject 1-12-22-13's behavior deteriorated from repeatedly disobeying orders to fierce resistance while displaying an inclination to attack the master."
↑ ^62.0 ^62.1 As Emma Woods' age is listed as 22 years old in her Relations Menu, this can be assumed to be the age at which her Manor game took place. As her birth date was December 21st, 1876 as implied from Lawyer's 6th Deduction Quest, and Gardener's and Doctor's Diaries place their game on July 13th, this locates the game on July 13th, 1899.
↑ An un unknown author mentions in Hell Ember's 4th Character Day Letter, Message Hidden Inside the Wooden Box Transported in Secret to Sacred Heart Hospital, that "Ember's" Manor game involved Group 5. It's important to note that Group 5's number identifications include the number 4 rather than 5 in their individual subject codes, such as 4-1-1 for Gardener.
↑ Freddy Riley mentions during Doctor's Diary segment that he believes the Arms Factory to be a replica of the original Minerva Armory.

An unknown author also mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, that: "When I arrived at the "Minerva Factory," once a beacon of hope but now defunct, I found it had long since been replaced by new shops."
This implies the original Minerva Arms Factory had long since been demolished and replaced with new buildings.
↑ Emily Dyer is shown being attacked by Hell Ember in her Diary segments, leading to her elimination.

Lawyer's 2023 Birthday Event questions mention that: "Question 5: "Whose elimination was closely linked to Freddy Riley?" ", with the correct answer being the option: "Emily Dyer"
↑ An unknown author mentions in Lawyer's 3rd Birthday Letter, A Page from Freddy Riley's Experiment File, in regards to Freddy Riley that: "[...] but this behavioral characteristic was limited to his exchanges with No. 4-0-4, making him less careful against the deadlier threat."
The wording implies that his careful attitude lessened once Emily Dyer had been eliminated, causing him to fall victim to "Ember."
↑ Kreacher Pierson is shown being burnt alive while inside of Mr. Skelkro by Emma Woods in her Diary segments, leading to his elimination.

An unknown author mentions in Gardener's 3rd Birthday Letter, A Page from Emma Woods' Experiment File, in regards to Kreacher Pierson that: "In contrast, during this process, Subject 4-1-1 persisted in her revenge plan against Subject 4-0-2. In the game, Subject 4-1-1 burned the scarecrow to symbolize her revenge."
↑ An un unknown author mentions in Hell Ember's 4th Character Day Letter, Message Hidden Inside the Wooden Box Transported in Secret to Sacred Heart Hospital, that: "Subject 1-12-22-13's self-awareness broke free of the memory blockade at the end of the experiment, and Subject 1-12-22-13 regained some emotion as a result of Subject 4-1-1's provocation."

An unknown author mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, in regards to the experimentation staff: "The reports highlight a particularly striking incident: all drug control measures failed to affect him."
↑ Emma Woods mentions in Gardener's 4th Birthday Letter, A Letter Attached with Dried Thistle and Without Recipient Information, in regards to "Ember": "At the final moments of the game, as I escaped from that factory covered in thick fog, I think I heard that weirdo struggling to speak a name that was unfamiliar to me — Lisa."
↑ Emma Woods mentions in Gardener's 4th Birthday Letter, A Letter Attached with Dried Thistle and Without Recipient Information, in regards to her memory since her stay at Oletus Manor: "They do not know that my memory has been lost to the point that only my identity as Emma Woods remains. Even the part of it labeled as "Mom and Dad" is empty."
↑ Emma Woods mentions in Gardener's 4th Birthday Letter, A Letter Attached with Dried Thistle and Without Recipient Information, in regards to her interaction with "Ember": "Lisa, Lisa... I don't know why, but writing this name makes my eyes sting.
Maybe that weirdo knows me, but I'm unable to place him in any of my puzzle pieces."
↑ Emma Woods mentions in Gardener's 4th Birthday Letter, A Letter Attached with Dried Thistle and Without Recipient Information, that: "My new friends in this group warned me in secret to keep a record of everything, just in case my memories would start to deceive me."
This shows that Emma survived the experiment and fled Arms Factory, leading to her immediate inclusion into another test group.

Later in the same letter, she also mentions that: "Yes, I've won the previous round, for now [...]"
↑ An unknown author mentions in Hell Ember's 4th Character Day Letter, Message Hidden Inside the Wooden Box Transported in Secret to Sacred Heart Hospital, that: "As you can see, the final behavioral log and the inactive organism indicate an unfortunate truth: the experiment on functional modification and mind control of Subject 1-12-22-13 failed."

Alice DeRoss mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, in regards to the experimentation staff: "It appeared that the organizers behind these measures harbored subjective biases about Leo Beck, which led them to initiate a purge driven by unfocused hatred."
↑ An un unknown author mentions in Hell Ember's 4th Character Day Letter, Message Hidden Inside the Wooden Box Transported in Secret to Sacred Heart Hospital, that: "Subsequently, Subject 1-12-22-13's behavior deteriorated from repeatedly disobeying orders to fierce resistance while displaying an inclination to attack the master. One that notes none of the 6 psychiatric treatments and medicines you provided have displayed positive results, and we've moved on to the 7th method—incineration."
↑ As the experiment discussed in Hell Ember's 4th Character Day Letter, Message Hidden Inside the Wooden Box Transported in Secret to Sacred Heart Hospital, is the one that involved Group 5, it can be assumed that Leo was killed some time after its conclusion, likely within the same year.

Compiled Overview Notes

↑ Unused image dating from Identity V's Late Beta period, meant to accompany Gardener's 1st Deduction Quest. It is still referenced by its conclusion, which mentions: "Photo: A short-haired, middle-aged man in yellow overalls standing in the center of the frame. The lower left corner reads, "Father." "
↑ Unused image from Identity V's Late Beta period, meant to accompany Lawyer's 7th Deduction Quest. It is still referenced by its conclusion, which mentions: "A group photo: A family of three, but someone cut the father out of the picture."
↑ There seems to be a discrepancy between Hell Ember's character description and other available story-related material for him. His description mentions: "Before Leo realized the poor conditions of the factory, his wife and Freddy Riley made off with all his possessions and disappeared."
This has been repeatedly featured in Leo's character descriptions since Beta Testing, with the earliest available description on the official website from the period mentioning: "[...] his wife and friend Freddy Riley took away all his property.", with the original Chinese text being: "[...] 他的妻子与友人弗雷迪菜利卷走他所有的财产。"
The fact that Martha and Freddy stole Leo's possessions is only mentioned in these descriptions, and isn't supported by any other source of information. Neither Hell Ember's, nor Lawyer's or Gardener's Deduction Quests, Letters, Character Relation Menus or Event appearances feature this fact. In stark contrast, Martha's wording in Hell Ember's and Gardener's shared 1st Character Day/Birthday Letter, An unreceived letter, seems to display genuine concern for her ex-husband and daughter's conditions, and advises him to carefully consider the investment in Minerva Arms Factory and whether it's a wise decision. The letter mentions: "For the sake of Lisa, however, please consider carefully the investment we debated."
This concern is further shown through Martha's wording in Lawyer's 1st Birthday Letter, A Break-up Letter, where she expressed deep disappointment and anger towards Freddy for deceiving her ex-husband and decides to immediately break up with him as a consequence. The letter mentions: "I know you may be confused, but just look at the newspaper.
No, actually, you may know all about what happened.
That damn acquisition ruined everything."
It's plausible, also considering the presence of other inconsistent details in Hell Ember's Deduction Quest conclusions and their origin during Beta Testing, which featured heavily altered backgrounds and story elements for several characters, that this detail is a remnant of his early conceptualization and doesn't necessarily hold relevance to his current backstory anymore.
↑ Unused image from Identity V's Late Beta period, meant to accompany Lawyer's 8th Deduction Quest. It is still referenced by its conclusion, which mentions: "A report: An Arms Factory with a loan exceeding four figures has found its new owner."
↑ Unused image from Identity V's Late Beta period, meant to accompany Gardener's 11th Deduction Quest. It is still referenced by its conclusion, which mentions: "Photo: A building in flames. Its worn signboard reads, Minerva Armory."
↑ Unused image from Identity V's Late Beta period, meant to accompany Hell Ember's 3rd Deduction Quest. During Late Beta, the current 3rd Hell Ember Deduction Quest was originally placed as his 1st Deduction Quest instead. The image is still referenced by its conclusion, which mentions: "Secret 2: After the fire, people found burn marks and a few pieces of tattered clothing in what remained of the building. They also found these words on the wall: I will find you."

[3] His Traits were previously translated as Wrathful, Burned, Stubborn.

[UpdateMistake-4] 4.0 ^4.1 After maintenance on August 8th, 2024 with the update to the Relations Menu, Hell Ember's Likes and Dislikes were temporarily inverted. This was fixed by a hotfix later on the same day.

[37] Note that both alternate options for each character relation are offered in the table, as the game has not clarified which option is "correct."

[38] The Diary segments for Emma Woods and Emily Dyer shows them accessing and exploring the Arms Factory. It is however implied that this version is actually a copy of the original Minerva Arms Factory. Freddy Riley mentions during Doctor's Diary segment that he believes Arms Factory to be a replica of the original Minerva Armory.

Alice DeRoss also mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, that: "When I arrived at the "Minerva Factory," once a beacon of hope but now defunct, I found it had long since been replaced by new shops."
This implies the original Minerva Arms Factory had long since been demolished and replaced with new buildings.

[39] The Diary segments for Emma Woods and Emily Dyer show them access Arms Factory, beginning their Manor Game, on July 13th.

[40] As Emma Woods' age is listed as 22 years old in her Relations Menu, this can be assumed to be the age at which her Manor game took place. We can determine her birth date to be December 21st, 1876 due to the conclusion of Lawyer's 6th Deduction Quest, Troublemaker, mentioning: "A letter: Leo Beck and Martha Beck invite Freddy to attend Lisa's first birthday party on December 21st, 1877."
This implies that Lisa was born a year earlier, on the same date in 1876. This would place a 22 years old Emma involved in the Manor game that took place in July in the year 1899.

[41] It should be noted that Hell Ember's serial number is different from those of other subjects in most of the Manor Games, possibly because it was assigned by B.A. and the other experiment staff at Sacred Heart Hospital rather than the usual authors of the other experiment files. It is further implied B.A. assigned Leo his serial number in Hell Ember's 3rd Character Day Letter, A case review file left behind in the Sacred Heart Hospital, where B.A: mentions: "Perhaps I shouldn't have named an experimental subject. After December 21, "Cinder" will simply be Subject No. 1-12-22-13."

[leo-42] 5.0 ^5.1 Emily Dyer is shown being attacked by Hell Ember in her Diary segments, leading to her elimination.

Lawyer's 2023 Birthday Event questions mention that: "Question 5: "Whose elimination was closely linked to Freddy Riley?" ", with the correct answer being the option: "Emily Dyer"

[emma-43] 6.0 ^6.1 ^6.2 ^6.3 Emma Woods appears to be the only survivor of the "Thistle Thorn" Manor game. She mentions in Gardener's 4th Birthday Letter, A Letter Attached with Dried Thistle and Without Recipient Information, that: "My new friends in this group warned me in secret to keep a record of everything, just in case my memories would start to deceive me."
This shows that Emma survived the experiment and fled Arms Factory, leading to her immediate inclusion into another test group which didn't include her past teammates.

Later in the same letter, she also mentions that: "Yes, I've won the previous round, for now [...]"

[44] It's implied that Hell Ember spared Emma's life once he recognized her, despite the heavy behavioral drugs he was subjected to, and allowed her to escape the Arms Factory. Emma Woods mentions in Gardener's 4th Birthday Letter, A Letter Attached with Dried Thistle and Without Recipient Information, in regards to her interaction with Hell Ember: "Lisa, Lisa... I don't know why, but writing this name makes my eyes sting.
Maybe that weirdo knows me, but I'm unable to place him in any of my puzzle pieces."

An un unknown author mentions in Hell Ember's 4th Character Day Letter, Message Hidden Inside the Wooden Box Transported in Secret to Sacred Heart Hospital, that: "Subject 1-12-22-13's self-awareness broke free of the memory blockade at the end of the experiment, and Subject 1-12-22-13 regained some emotion as a result of Subject 4-1-1's provocation."

Alice DeRoss mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, in regards to the experimentation staff: "The reports highlight a particularly striking incident: all drug control measures failed to affect him."

[thief-45] 8.0 ^8.1 Kreacher Pierson is shown being burnt alive while inside of Mr. Skelkro by Emma Woods in her Diary segments, leading to his elimination.

An unknown author mentions in Thief's 3rd Birthday Letter, A Page from Kreacher Pierson's Experiment File, that: "4-0-2 was the first subject to be eliminated from the game. He was immobilized by Subject 4-1-1's trap in the manor."

An unknown author mentions in Gardener's 3rd Birthday Letter, A Page from Emma Woods' Experiment File, in regards to Kreacher Pierson that: "In contrast, during this process, Subject 4-1-1 persisted in her revenge plan against Subject 4-0-2. In the game, Subject 4-1-1 burned the scarecrow to symbolize her revenge."

[46] An unknown author mentions in Lawyer's 3rd Birthday Letter, A Page from Freddy Riley's Experiment File, in regards to Freddy Riley that: "[...] but this behavioral characteristic was limited to his exchanges with No. 4-0-4, making him less careful against the deadlier threat."
The wording implies that his careful attitude lessened once Emily Dyer had been eliminated, causing him to fall victim to Hell Ember.

[47] The conclusion of Lawyer's 1st Deduction Quest, Partner, mentions: "A marriage announcement: On March 14th, 1874, Leo Beck and Martha Remington were joined in matrimony in Devonshire."

[48] An unknown author mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, in regards to the textile factory that: "During that time, the textile factory was struggling financially."

[49] Martha Remington mentions in Hell Ember's and Gardener's shared 1st Character Day/Birthday Letter, An unreceived letter, that: "Competitions among weaving factories are fierce, I know."

[50] Mr. Hunt mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, that: "I'm the only one who truly knew him, but no one ever listened to me."

An unknown author also mentions in the same letter that: "At the end of the year, [Mr. Hunt] and a few other employees who had a good rapport with Leo would receive invitations to dine with the Beck family."

[51] An unknown author mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, in regards to Martha that: "[...] they began to notice Martha's remarkable capabilities. She would often visit various markets and factories on her own initiative, generating innovative ideas for improving the factory's operations and promoting their textile products. Despite the brilliance of her suggestions, they were rarely implemented for a variety of reasons."

Martha Remington mentions in Hell Ember's and Gardener's shared 1st Character Day/Birthday Letter, An unreceived letter, in regards to Leo Beck: "I'm sorry. There I go again.
I shouldn't tell you how to do business."
The wording implies Martha's financial advice and suggestions regarding the operation of their business was commonly rejected by Leo in the recent past.

[53] The conclusion of Lawyer's 6th Deduction Quest, Troublemaker, mentions: "A letter: Leo Beck and Martha Beck invite Freddy to attend Lisa's first birthday party on December 21st, 1877."
This implies that Lisa was born a year earlier, on December 21st, 1876.

[54] An unknown author mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, that: "When Martha became pregnant, Leo grew increasingly concerned for her health. His desire to take charge of and expand the business intensified, perhaps because he equated the "responsibilities of a father and husband" with the pursuit of better material conditions."

[55] An unknown author mentions in Gardener's 6th Birthday Letter, Lisa Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, in regard to Lisa that: "[...] her "carefree" attitude likely stemmed from the frequent fights between her parents as their relationship deteriorated."

The conclusion of Gardener's 5th Deduction Quest, Cooperation, also mentions: "Little Girl's Diary 2: Father and Mother quarreled. Mother said that father's clothes were always dirty. Father didn't say anything."

[56] An unknown author mentions in Gardener's 6th Birthday Letter, Lisa Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, in regard to Lisa that: "[...] her "carefree" attitude likely stemmed from the frequent fights between her parents as their relationship deteriorated."

Later in the same letter, it mentions:"[...] she adjusted her emotions to fulfill a heavy burden for a child: to delay the inevitable collapse of her family's relationship and her father's mental health."

[57] An unknown author mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, in regards to Mr. Hunt: "[...] he noted that the workers eventually recognized the change in the couple's relationship."

[59] The conclusion of Lawyer's 6th Deduction Quest, Troublemaker, mentions regarding his relationship with the family that: "A letter: Leo Beck and Martha Beck invite Freddy to attend Lisa's first birthday party on December 21st, 1877."
This suggests Freddy had soon become close friends with the family, enough to be invited to their daughter's first birthday.

The conclusion of Gardener's 2nd Deduction Quest, New Friend, also mentions: "A diary entry, in clumsy handwriting: Father's new friend is a young gentleman with a suit and shiny hair. He is very friendly and always brings flowers."
This suggests Freddy's relationship with the family grew closer over the years after Lisa's birth, and that he frequented the household consistently.

[60] The conclusion of Lawyer's 5th Deduction Quest, Destiny, mentions: "A letter: Freddy Riley's love letter to Martha Beck. It seems like this lawyer in love is plotting something."

[61] Martha Remington mentions in Lawyer's 1st Birthday Letter, A Break-up Letter, in regards to Leo Beck: "Yes, Leo wasn't smart. He didn't have any investment experience, not to mention capital."

[62] Martha Remington mentions in Hell Ember's and Gardener's shared 1st Character Day/Birthday Letter, An unreceived letter, in regards to Leo Beck: "Not to mention, why do you think people will buy rifles from you?
No one from the previous five generations of the Becks was good at hunting!"

[63] Martha Remington mentions in Lawyer's 1st Birthday Letter, A Break-up Letter, in regards to the purchase: "You said, if the investor had sufficient experience and capital, this would bring him immense wealth."

[64] Martha Remington mentions in Hell Ember's and Gardener's shared 1st Character Day/Birthday Letter, An unreceived letter, in regards to the investment: "For the sake of Lisa, however, please consider carefully the investment we debated.
Competitions among weaving factories are fierce, I know.
But please, believe me, rifles are no "daily necessities"."
This section also makes clear that the investment had already been discussed before Martha's departure.

[65] Martha Remington mentions in Hell Ember's and Gardener's shared 1st Character Day/Birthday Letter, An unreceived letter, that: "Freddy proposed to me.
I said yes."

[66] The conclusion of Gardener's 4th Deduction Quest, Secret Departure, mentions: "Little Girl's Diary 3: Mother is gone. I didn't sleep that night. The last word she uttered before she left was, "sorry.""

[68] The title of Hell Ember's and Gardener's shared 1st Character Day/Birthday Letter, An unreceived letter, suggests that its contents were never read by its destinatary, Leo Beck.

[69] An unknown author mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, in regards to Leo Beck: "Following Martha's departure, Leo's determination to improve their living conditions intensified."

[70] Leo Beck mentions in Hell Ember's and Gardener's shared 2nd Character Day/Birthday Letter, Evidence no. 24 of the Arms Factory Fire, in regards to Lisa Beck: "As for your mother, the fact that she chose to leave has nothing to do with you. You aren't an unwanted child."

Mr. Hunt mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, in regards to Lisa Beck: "[...] she revealed that since Mommy left, Daddy had been holding her less often. Leo apologized repeatedly, and it was clear to all of us just how deeply he felt about it."

The conclusion of Gardener's 9th Deduction Quest, Destroy, also mentions regarding Lisa Beck's view on the current state of the family: "I don't know what has happened, but this feeling is awful."

Gardener's dialogue during the April's Story Event further emphasizes how the abandonment affected her, mentioning: "But later on I realized everyone had something they wanted to escape from. For them... it was me."

"But eventually, there will be a person who refuses to let go, who doesn't understand how things are... That terrible fire... It took away the person I loved most, and my will to live."

[71] An unknown author mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, in regards to Leo Beck: "He remained committed to the arms factory, hoping that, after a brief period of loneliness, little Lisa would receive double the love she had lost."

[72] An unknown author mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, in regards to Mr. Hunt: "[...] a worker from the Minerva Factory who had sustained minor injuries in the fire and was willing to share his experiences."
This may suggest that other workers, formerly employed at the textile factory, were later brought over to Minerva Arms Factory, including Mr. Hunt.

[74] Mr. Hunt mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, that: "I'm not sure when it happened, but Leo started bringing his daughter to the factory."

[75] Mr. Hunt mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, in regards to Lisa Beck: "Unfortunately, there was nothing for her to play with [...]"
He also later mentions in the same Letter that: "The only time Leo truly lost his temper was when his daughter nearly got hurt during one of her climbs."

[76] Mr. Hunt mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, in regards to Leo and Lisa Beck: "The factory was under immense financial pressure at that time, leaving Leo with little opportunity to spend time with her. Yet, he always rushed to her side, scooping her up whenever she climbed on top of the pile of boxes—an all-too-common and dangerous occurrence."

[77] The conclusion of Gardener's 9th Deduction Quest, Destroy, mentions: "Father drank too much and began selling things from home."

Mr. Hunt also mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, in regards to Leo Beck: "More and more of his belongings were sold off to pay his debts."

[78] The conclusion of Gardener's 9th Deduction Quest, Destroy, mentions: "Father drank too much and began selling things from home."

Mr. Hunt also mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, in regards to Leo Beck: "[...] he began coming to the factory alone, reeking of alcohol."

[79] The conclusion of Gardener's 9th Deduction Quest, Destroy, mentions: "Sometimes strangers would break into the house and take things."

[80] Mr. Hunt mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, in regards to Leo Beck: "We all believed he had been swindled. Sigh. But how could he bring himself to ask for help?"

[81] The introduction of Gardener's 8th Deduction Quest, Escape, mentions: "He sent me away before disaster struck. And now it's just me here."
The wording, from Lisa Beck's perspective, implies the young girl at least recognized her father's reasoning for sending her to White Sand Street Orphanage, in order to escape the worsening living conditions and their consequences.

[82] The conclusion of Gardener's 8th Deduction Quest, Escape, mentions: "Photo: An eight- or nine-year-old girl standing in front of an orphanage. The lower right corner reads: "My beloved Lisa" "
As Lisa was born on December 21st, 1876, this would place her arrival at White Sand Street Orphanage either on 1884 or 1885 when, as the conclusion mentions, she would have been 8 or 9 years old.

[83] An unknown author mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, that: "In his last two letters, Leo asked the priest to bring Lisa the teddy bear he had made for her."

[84] An unknown author mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, that: "[...] almost every letter included money for the priest to provide care for Lisa."

[85] An unknown author mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, regarding the monetary inclusions: "I often wondered how much of that money the priest pocketed and whether Leo's clumsy requests became fodder for gossip."

[86] Leo Beck mentions in Hell Ember's and Gardener's shared 2nd Character Day/Birthday Letter, Evidence no. 24 of the Arms Factory Fire, in regards to Lisa Beck: "This is probably the only thing your useless Father can do for you."

[87] Mr. Hunt mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, in regards to Leo Beck: "I never got the chance to see him one last time [...]"

[88] Leo Beck mentions in Hell Ember's and Gardener's shared 2nd Character Day/Birthday Letter, Evidence no. 24 of the Arms Factory Fire, in regards to Lisa Beck: "My child, I have to leave this place to look for another way to make money. Don't come and find me."

[89] Leo Beck mentions in Hell Ember's and Gardener's shared 2nd Character Day/Birthday Letter, Evidence no. 24 of the Arms Factory Fire, in regards to Lisa Beck: "That cursed factory would be your toy soon."
This portion of the letter makes Leo's feelings of vengeance towards the factory fire clear, while also implying that something positive may come out of its destruction afterall.

In the same letter, it is also mentioned: "There were also a stack of invoices beneath the letter. On an exposed corner, it read:
Beneficiary of Compensation: Lisa Beck"

[90] A note mentions in Hell Ember's and Gardener's shared 2nd Character Day/Birthday Letter, Evidence no. 24 of the Arms Factory Fire, that: "(A stack of paper, the top sheet seemed to be an unsent letter with traces of repeated corrections)"

An unknown author also mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, that: "This letter was emotionally charged, perhaps too much for him, and it was never sent."

[91] B.A. mentions in Hell Ember's 3rd Character Day Letter, A case review file left behind in the Sacred Heart Hospital, in regards to Leo Beck's unusual behavior on December 21st: "There are deeper reasons for "Cinder" to be being overly sensitive to that date than the fact that it was the date on which it set itself on fire."
This confirms that Leo Beck carried out his plan to set Minerva Arms Factory on fire on December 21st.

The same letter also mentions, in regards to Leo Beck's unusual behavior on December 21st, that: "This has been consistent for the past 10 years of experiment."
As the letter is dated: "December 21, 1897", it can be assumed Leo's apprehension was carried out exactly 10 years before, on December 21st, 1887, on the day that the fire broke out.

[93] The conclusion of Hell Ember's 3rd Deduction Quest, Pursuit, mentions: "They also found these words on the wall: I will find you."

[94] The conclusion of Hell Ember's 3rd Deduction Quest, Pursuit, mentions: "Secret 2: After the fire, people found burn marks and a few pieces of tattered clothing in what remained of the building."

[95] An unknown author mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, that: "The "Arms Factory Fire" in the past led to a devastating pipeline explosion, resulting in severe injuries to numerous workers who lived on-site."

Mr. Hunt also mentions in the same letter that: "The fire truly had serious consequences."

[96] An unknown author mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, in regards to Mr. Hunt: "What struck me was that this middle-aged man, with a stooped back, did not appear to harbor any resentment toward Leo Beck."

Mr. Hunt also mentions in the same letter that: "Many of his colleagues' families harbored resentment toward him, which was understandable. Yet, I found myself unable to voice my thoughts."

[97] An unknown author mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, in regards to Minerva Arms Factory: "When I arrived at the "Minerva Factory," once a beacon of hope but now defunct, I found it had long since been replaced by new shops."

She also mentions later in the same letter that: "After struggling to gain much from straightforward interviews, I decided to adopt a new approach to my investigation."

Mr. Hunt also mentions in the same letter that: "[...] and to my surprise, many people involved also vanished. If it weren't for the scars on my body and the questions you've asked, I doubt anyone would even remember that it happened."

[98] The conclusion of Hell Ember's 3rd Deduction Quest, Pursuit, mentions: "After the fire, people found burn marks and a few pieces of tattered clothing in what remained of the building. They also found these words on the wall: I will find you."
As the conclusion mentions that the only things found at the site were remains and the inscribed phrase, it can be assumed that Leo was found and transported to Sacred Heart Hospital relatively quickly after the incident, before reporters and officials could arrive.

[99] As Hell Ember's Manor game was carried out with a group of test subjects temporarily held in Oletus Manor, it is clear that the Sacred Heart Hospital experiment staff mentioned in Hell Ember's 3rd Character Day Letter, A case review file left behind in the Sacred Heart Hospital, was in contact with, or a divison of, the wider experiments plan carried out at the Manor.

[100] As Hell Ember's 4th Character Day Letter, Message Hidden Inside the Wooden Box Transported in Secret to Sacred Heart Hospital, is addressed to B.A. and its title mentions its destination being Sacred Heart Hospital, it can be assumed that B.A. was stationed at the hospital. This also makes him the likely author of Hell Ember's 3rd Character Day Letter, A case review file left behind in the Sacred Heart Hospital, as he is clearly a figure of relevance within the experiment group he is part of.

[101] The conclusion of Hell Ember's 1st Deduction Quest, Fury, mentions: "Secret 1: An old prescription pad with rudimentary burn treatments. "The burn surface must be isolated from the air. Apply oil (lamp oil, salad oil, or butter) to the wound surface, then apply flour, gypsum, or ground charcoal evenly by sprinkling. Apply daily, and do not bathe or wipe the wound for two weeks." "

[102] B.A. mentions in Hell Ember's 3rd Character Day Letter, A case review file left behind in the Sacred Heart Hospital, in regards to Leo Beck: "I won't consider going public about this or allowing outsiders to visit at the moment."

[103] B.A. mentions in Hell Ember's 3rd Character Day Letter, A case review file left behind in the Sacred Heart Hospital, in regards to Leo Beck's performance in the past years' experimentation: "This has been consistent for the past 10 years of experiment."
The wording of the letter implies Leo has been deployed consistently for the past decade in several experiments, rather than only in his Manor game.

[104] An un unknown author mentions in Hell Ember's 4th Character Day Letter, Message Hidden Inside the Wooden Box Transported in Secret to Sacred Heart Hospital, in regards to Leo Beck's experiments: "[...] the experiment on functional modification and mind control of Subject 1-12-22-13 failed."

[105] B.A. mentions in Hell Ember's 3rd Character Day Letter, A case review file left behind in the Sacred Heart Hospital, in regards to Leo Beck's experimentation: "However, even though "Cinder" is worthy of academic exploration, I won't consider going public about this or allowing outsiders to visit at the moment."

[106] B.A. mentions in Hell Ember's 3rd Character Day Letter, A case review file left behind in the Sacred Heart Hospital, in regards to Leo Beck's performance in the past years' experimentation: "This has been consistent for the past 10 years of experiment."
As the report precedes Leo Beck's Manor game and subsequent death, it can be assumed that Leo Beck was deployed in additional experiments and tests after the document's drafting, increasing his time in captivity to over a decade.

[107] B.A. mentions in Hell Ember's 3rd Character Day Letter, A case review file left behind in the Sacred Heart Hospital, in regards to Leo Beck's experimentation: "After December 21, "Cinder" will simply be Subject No. 1-12-22-13."
This suggests that for the past years since the report's release, Leo was consistently referred to as "Ember" rather than by his test identification. It's important to note that while Hell Ember's 3rd and 4th Letters refer to Leo as "Cinder," his 6th Letter instead refers to him as "Ember." The previous iteration of the 3rd Letter's Summary, found in his Relations Menu interface, also used to refer to him as "Cinder" before later being updated to call him "Ember."

[108] The Detective mentions in the Investigation Notes Menu, regarding Leo Beck's initial role as a Survivor: "In one diary entry, he was punished not writing in his diary. But in other diaries, the bandaged face "returned to the game" as a hunter?
These diaries offer conflicting descriptions of the same game."

[109] Hell Ember's bandaged and drastically changed appearance compared to his old photos, including wounded arms and scarred skin, display severe and lasting damage in the years after the incident. It is also suggested that Leo Beck suffered permanent dmage to his vocal chords, as Hell Ember's rumor during the Fourth Beta Test period mentions: "With burnt vocal cords that only produce a hoarse sound, and a disfigured face covered in bandages, what can the hatred that has risen from the ashes consume to satisfy?". The original Chinese text for the rumor is: "烧焦的声带只能扯出声声嘶哑,已经毁容的脸缠满了绷带,灰烬中复生的仇恨到底吞噬掉什么才能满足?"
While this information is omitted in Hell Ember's current rumor, it's still implied to be the case in Gardener's 4th Birthday Letter, A Letter Attached with Dried Thistle and Without Recipient Information, where it mentions: "[...] I think I heard that weirdo struggling to speak a name that was unfamiliar to me — Lisa."
It is further enforced in Orfeo's Game, where Mysterious Factory Owner is depicted as struggling to speak.

[110] B.A. mentions in Hell Ember's 3rd Character Day Letter, A case review file left behind in the Sacred Heart Hospital, in regards to Leo Beck's performance in the past years' experimentation: "After all, I can't deny that "Cinder" is an excellent subject for the experiment. In comparison, the behavior of most subjects in the experiment has been quite uniform, with approximately 85% chance of dying in the process"

The conclusion of Hell Ember's 2nd Deduction Quest, Persistence, mentions: "Leo Beck grips his targets tightly and doesn't let them go."

The conclusion of Hell Ember's 5th Deduction Quest, Cat and Mouse, mentions: "Leo Beck has found joy in this dull position as a hunter."

[111] B.A. mentions in Hell Ember's 3rd Character Day Letter, A case review file left behind in the Sacred Heart Hospital, in regards to Leo Beck's performance in the past years' experimentation: "After all, I can't deny that "Cinder" is an excellent subject for the experiment."

[112] B.A. mentions in Hell Ember's 3rd Character Day Letter, A case review file left behind in the Sacred Heart Hospital, in regards to Leo Beck: "As with previous years, "Cinder" was unusually exuberant on December 21."

An unknown author also mentions in Hell Ember's 4th Character Day Letter, Message Hidden Inside the Wooden Box Transported in Secret to Sacred Heart Hospital, that: "[...] Subject 1-12-22-13's behavior deteriorated from repeatedly disobeying orders to fierce resistance while displaying an inclination to attack the master."

[GameDate-113] 62.0 ^62.1 As Emma Woods' age is listed as 22 years old in her Relations Menu, this can be assumed to be the age at which her Manor game took place. As her birth date was December 21st, 1876 as implied from Lawyer's 6th Deduction Quest, and Gardener's and Doctor's Diaries place their game on July 13th, this locates the game on July 13th, 1899.

[114] An un unknown author mentions in Hell Ember's 4th Character Day Letter, Message Hidden Inside the Wooden Box Transported in Secret to Sacred Heart Hospital, that "Ember's" Manor game involved Group 5. It's important to note that Group 5's number identifications include the number 4 rather than 5 in their individual subject codes, such as 4-1-1 for Gardener.

[115] Freddy Riley mentions during Doctor's Diary segment that he believes the Arms Factory to be a replica of the original Minerva Armory.

An unknown author also mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, that: "When I arrived at the "Minerva Factory," once a beacon of hope but now defunct, I found it had long since been replaced by new shops."
This implies the original Minerva Arms Factory had long since been demolished and replaced with new buildings.

[117] Emily Dyer is shown being attacked by Hell Ember in her Diary segments, leading to her elimination.

Lawyer's 2023 Birthday Event questions mention that: "Question 5: "Whose elimination was closely linked to Freddy Riley?" ", with the correct answer being the option: "Emily Dyer"

[118] An unknown author mentions in Lawyer's 3rd Birthday Letter, A Page from Freddy Riley's Experiment File, in regards to Freddy Riley that: "[...] but this behavioral characteristic was limited to his exchanges with No. 4-0-4, making him less careful against the deadlier threat."
The wording implies that his careful attitude lessened once Emily Dyer had been eliminated, causing him to fall victim to "Ember."

[119] Kreacher Pierson is shown being burnt alive while inside of Mr. Skelkro by Emma Woods in her Diary segments, leading to his elimination.

An unknown author mentions in Gardener's 3rd Birthday Letter, A Page from Emma Woods' Experiment File, in regards to Kreacher Pierson that: "In contrast, during this process, Subject 4-1-1 persisted in her revenge plan against Subject 4-0-2. In the game, Subject 4-1-1 burned the scarecrow to symbolize her revenge."

[120] An un unknown author mentions in Hell Ember's 4th Character Day Letter, Message Hidden Inside the Wooden Box Transported in Secret to Sacred Heart Hospital, that: "Subject 1-12-22-13's self-awareness broke free of the memory blockade at the end of the experiment, and Subject 1-12-22-13 regained some emotion as a result of Subject 4-1-1's provocation."

An unknown author mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, in regards to the experimentation staff: "The reports highlight a particularly striking incident: all drug control measures failed to affect him."

[121] Emma Woods mentions in Gardener's 4th Birthday Letter, A Letter Attached with Dried Thistle and Without Recipient Information, in regards to "Ember": "At the final moments of the game, as I escaped from that factory covered in thick fog, I think I heard that weirdo struggling to speak a name that was unfamiliar to me — Lisa."

[122] Emma Woods mentions in Gardener's 4th Birthday Letter, A Letter Attached with Dried Thistle and Without Recipient Information, in regards to her memory since her stay at Oletus Manor: "They do not know that my memory has been lost to the point that only my identity as Emma Woods remains. Even the part of it labeled as "Mom and Dad" is empty."

[123] Emma Woods mentions in Gardener's 4th Birthday Letter, A Letter Attached with Dried Thistle and Without Recipient Information, in regards to her interaction with "Ember": "Lisa, Lisa... I don't know why, but writing this name makes my eyes sting.
Maybe that weirdo knows me, but I'm unable to place him in any of my puzzle pieces."

[124] Emma Woods mentions in Gardener's 4th Birthday Letter, A Letter Attached with Dried Thistle and Without Recipient Information, that: "My new friends in this group warned me in secret to keep a record of everything, just in case my memories would start to deceive me."
This shows that Emma survived the experiment and fled Arms Factory, leading to her immediate inclusion into another test group.

Later in the same letter, she also mentions that: "Yes, I've won the previous round, for now [...]"

[125] An unknown author mentions in Hell Ember's 4th Character Day Letter, Message Hidden Inside the Wooden Box Transported in Secret to Sacred Heart Hospital, that: "As you can see, the final behavioral log and the inactive organism indicate an unfortunate truth: the experiment on functional modification and mind control of Subject 1-12-22-13 failed."

Alice DeRoss mentions in Hell Ember's 6th Character Day Letter, Leo Beck: Investigation FieldNotes^[sic] I, in regards to the experimentation staff: "It appeared that the organizers behind these measures harbored subjective biases about Leo Beck, which led them to initiate a purge driven by unfocused hatred."

[126] An un unknown author mentions in Hell Ember's 4th Character Day Letter, Message Hidden Inside the Wooden Box Transported in Secret to Sacred Heart Hospital, that: "Subsequently, Subject 1-12-22-13's behavior deteriorated from repeatedly disobeying orders to fierce resistance while displaying an inclination to attack the master. One that notes none of the 6 psychiatric treatments and medicines you provided have displayed positive results, and we've moved on to the 7th method—incineration."

[127] As the experiment discussed in Hell Ember's 4th Character Day Letter, Message Hidden Inside the Wooden Box Transported in Secret to Sacred Heart Hospital, is the one that involved Group 5, it can be assumed that Leo was killed some time after its conclusion, likely within the same year.

[52] Unused image dating from Identity V's Late Beta period, meant to accompany Gardener's 1st Deduction Quest. It is still referenced by its conclusion, which mentions: "Photo: A short-haired, middle-aged man in yellow overalls standing in the center of the frame. The lower left corner reads, "Father." "

[58] Unused image from Identity V's Late Beta period, meant to accompany Lawyer's 7th Deduction Quest. It is still referenced by its conclusion, which mentions: "A group photo: A family of three, but someone cut the father out of the picture."

[67] There seems to be a discrepancy between Hell Ember's character description and other available story-related material for him. His description mentions: "Before Leo realized the poor conditions of the factory, his wife and Freddy Riley made off with all his possessions and disappeared."
This has been repeatedly featured in Leo's character descriptions since Beta Testing, with the earliest available description on the official website from the period mentioning: "[...] his wife and friend Freddy Riley took away all his property.", with the original Chinese text being: "[...] 他的妻子与友人弗雷迪菜利卷走他所有的财产。"
The fact that Martha and Freddy stole Leo's possessions is only mentioned in these descriptions, and isn't supported by any other source of information. Neither Hell Ember's, nor Lawyer's or Gardener's Deduction Quests, Letters, Character Relation Menus or Event appearances feature this fact. In stark contrast, Martha's wording in Hell Ember's and Gardener's shared 1st Character Day/Birthday Letter, An unreceived letter, seems to display genuine concern for her ex-husband and daughter's conditions, and advises him to carefully consider the investment in Minerva Arms Factory and whether it's a wise decision. The letter mentions: "For the sake of Lisa, however, please consider carefully the investment we debated."
This concern is further shown through Martha's wording in Lawyer's 1st Birthday Letter, A Break-up Letter, where she expressed deep disappointment and anger towards Freddy for deceiving her ex-husband and decides to immediately break up with him as a consequence. The letter mentions: "I know you may be confused, but just look at the newspaper.
No, actually, you may know all about what happened.
That damn acquisition ruined everything."
It's plausible, also considering the presence of other inconsistent details in Hell Ember's Deduction Quest conclusions and their origin during Beta Testing, which featured heavily altered backgrounds and story elements for several characters, that this detail is a remnant of his early conceptualization and doesn't necessarily hold relevance to his current backstory anymore.

[73] Unused image from Identity V's Late Beta period, meant to accompany Lawyer's 8th Deduction Quest. It is still referenced by its conclusion, which mentions: "A report: An Arms Factory with a loan exceeding four figures has found its new owner."

[92] Unused image from Identity V's Late Beta period, meant to accompany Gardener's 11th Deduction Quest. It is still referenced by its conclusion, which mentions: "Photo: A building in flames. Its worn signboard reads, Minerva Armory."

[116] Unused image from Identity V's Late Beta period, meant to accompany Hell Ember's 3rd Deduction Quest. During Late Beta, the current 3rd Hell Ember Deduction Quest was originally placed as his 1st Deduction Quest instead. The image is still referenced by its conclusion, which mentions: "Secret 2: After the fire, people found burn marks and a few pieces of tattered clothing in what remained of the building. They also found these words on the wall: I will find you."
