"Good stranger, you look for the Egyptian one?" ― Madam Jo-Jo, adressing Sir Dan.

Madam Jo-Jo (born c. 1841) was the proprietor of the club in Whitechapel.

History

When Sir Dan entered her club, Jo-Jo informed him that Kiya was there a while ago and that she went looking for the Ripper. Before sending him after her, she gave Dan a Life Bottle.

Characteristics

Appearance

Jo-Jo was a woman in her mid-40s. She wore a green dress, a pair of red gloves and a tight red corset which accentuated her chest. She had ginger hair which she wore in a bun. She wore heavy make-up on her face which consisted of a blue eyeshadow, rouge on her cheeks and a deep red lipstick on her lips.

Abilities

Jo-Jo could be found sitting next to a piano in her club. It is likely that she knew how to play it.

Gameplay

"She was here, I told her what's been happening, but the Ripper, he's been working through all my girls. I think she's gone to find him. I tried to stop her, but she's a headstrong girl. If she means anything to you, you'd better find her before it's too late. Quick, hurry to the clock tower..." ― Madam Jo-Jo tells Sir Dan everything.

Madam Jo-Jo serves purely to advance the plot in the Whitechapel level. She cannot be interacted with outside of her cutscene.
