Mike Morton, the Acrobat, was an orphan adopted by ringmaster Bernard Morton into the traveling circus "Hullabaloo," rising as its star performer with family-like bonds to adoptive brother Murro and performers like Joker and Violetta. A lost acid bottle linked him to Joker's disfigurement (later cleared), and he aided Murro's escape via faked fire death.** Absent during the Moon River Park massacre that slaughtered most (by an unknown killer tied to Joker/Smiley Face), Mike identified/buried 16 bodies, hired investigator Arthur Russell, and pursued leads on survivors like Natalie (Margaretha).** At Oletus Manor ("Closing Night"), reunions exposed betrayals; Violetta died, Margaretha and Joker suicided, and Mike ignited his bombs to explosively end "Hullabaloo" forever, dying among the ruins.** His lingering malice forms the Hunter "Hullabaloo."
Mike Morton, known as the Acrobat, is a male Contain-type Survivor (Difficulty 2.5) in the asymmetric horror game Identity V.
A former acrobat from the Hullabaloo circus who survived a deadly disaster. he uses bombs (sticky to slow Hunters, nitro to hinder interactions, fire to disable abilities) and his "Risky Acrobatics" leap for kiting, rescues, and evasion, earning more via decoding or pursuits. He also has a Hunter form called "Hullabaloo."
