== History ==
For a decade, Dumpty Dumpling was the headline act at the Circus of the Last Days. However, Dumpty's love of clowning was fading. During one of his performances, Norris Greene volunteered himself when Dumpty called for one from the crowd. Norris quickly enthralled the crowd with his quick wit and one-liners. Lucretious, seeing his potential, offered Norris a job on the spot. {{cite text|name=ouch}}
