The Jolly Jester or Joker became popular during Medieval times. Jesters are typically portrayed with bright colors and eccentric hats in a motley pattern. The hat is sometimes referred to as “the cap n bells” and is depicted as a floppy hat with three points, each topped off with a jingle bell. The hat represents the ass’s ears and tail worn by jesters in earlier times.
Things that make the Jester unique: his insane laughter and his mock scepter, referred to as a bauble or maharoof
Author’s note: The Jolly Jester is a featured guest at the masquerade party in Mask of the Betrayer.
