Biography
R.J., full name unknown, was a camera operator who worked for a news station and was partnered with the ambitious reporter, Serena Belinda. R.J. was also a member of the Fear Is Truth cult led by the charismatic psychopath, Kai Anderson. As a secret member of the cult, R.J. dressed up as a clown and participated in multiple gruesome murders.

R.J. was present when Serena Belinda was doing a puff piece on pet adoption. During the reporter, other members of the cult attacked Serena in their clown disguises and stabbed her multiple times until she died. R.J. recorded the murder, but it was never used.

Kai Anderson later decried that R.J. was a leak link in the cult and needed to be eliminated. Kai and the other clowns took turns attacking R.J. with a nail gun, but it was Kai who finished him off with a blow to the head from an axe.
