There he encountered the puppet Scarface, and promptly murdered the man who’d carved the puppet. The two are now inseparable, with Scarface directing a series of criminal activities.

In ancient times, ventriloquists used a technique for "throwing" their voices as a means of appearing to possess supernatural powers.

Their acts were often humorous and some acts became quite successful. (TZ1: "The Dummy")

- A ventriloquist is an entertainer that uses manipulation of his voice to make it seem as though the voice is originating from somewhere outside his body. In ancient times, ventriloquists used a technique for "throwing" their voices as a means of appearing to possess supernatural powers. By the 20th century, it was more common that they used the ability to entertain, often employing comical dolls or dummies to help achieve this. Their acts were often humorous and some acts became quite successful. (TZ1: "The Dummy") Sometimes criminals made use of ventriloquism to draw suspicion away from themselves. In one case, an unscrupulous pair of fellow entertainers tried to use a ventriloguist's dummies against the entertainer. One of the men was a little person and dressed as the dolls, tormenting the ventriloquist Paul Travers. They sought to drive the man mad by convincing him through his supposedly living dolls that he had committed a theft from his betrothed's wealthy family and murdered one of their employees. In the end, the man was driven to suicide, but not before the two offenders were implicated for their crime. (TZGKEY: 06: "The Last Sixty Seconds") Not every case, however, was so easily explained away by ordinary circumstances. There were numerous cases where the action of the puppets used by the ventriloquist were not caused by the ventriloquist and truly were the work of supernatural forces.
