Since then he has allied with GHOSTBABEL, and has continued to aid the players in many of their ventures.

Story

IsocelesAssassin was a member of the Astral Timeline's Internet Detectives and is the respective counterpart of the player CircleHunter. Little is known about his life pre-2018. However, it can be assumed that aside from a few differences, he experienced many of the same events as the players. While a member of the Internet Detectives, IsocelesAssassin recued the entity GHOSTBABEL from the Wyndstrom institute, who hailed from Greth's ARG "I Am 979". This came after GHOSTBABEL's first rescue by the players of said ARG, and earned IsocelesAssassin a valuable ally.

At some point in either late 2017 or early 2018, the Astral Timeline's Internet Detectives were betrayed, leading to most of them vanishing. Only three Detectives - IsocelesAssassin, Moonman, and Yugi - are known to have survived, as well as the perpetrator of the group's downfall. It was then that Isoceles and Moonman adopted their current aliases, with hopes of infiltrating a group called The Astral Observatory led by Nocta, a former Internet Detective. This was done in an attempt to hide their affiliation with the Internet Detectives, as Nocta's prior knowledge of them likely would have affected his decision. Their bid was successful, and the two quickly gained access to the group's inner circles.

Isoceles seemingly got along well with the members of The Astral Observatory, even participating in a long roleplay with Kaiden Zoromichi. He and Yugi, who got into The Astral Observatory through more direct means, kept close ties. Up until Yugi's departure to the past, they seemed to collude against Nocta together, well aware of his sinister motives. On August 24th, 2018, Nocta uploaded two strange transmissions that he accidentally stumbled upon to the Subspace. Isoceles looked further into these transmissions, eventually discovering they were from a hacker group from an alternate timeline. Isoceles contacted the group, and they formulated a plan involving Isoceles' ocarina powers. He was to travel back to the year 2009, where he would install a "transmission device" for the group.

IsocelesAssassin travelling through time.

Upon reaching the year 2009, IsocelesAssassin installed the transmission device on a cellphone tower located in the park seen in many of the videos on the M channel. Alongside this device Isoceles left a note, seemingly for whoever would check on the device in the future. It was then that he tracked down Mason, trading him an eight of clubs card for Helper's Hat. With Helper's Hat in his possession, Isoceles began trying to steer the players in the right direction on the Within Hubris forums, becoming known as "The Gray Man". He often spoke through Helper's account, chiding the players for their infighting and encouraging them to unify.

Isoceles eventually found out that Mason had been trapped in a storm drain. In hindsight, Isoceles believed that the card he gave Mason "cursed" him in some way, leading to his getting trapped. While unable to save his life, Isoceles was able to trap Mason's "essence" in another device given to him by the hacker group. As the song of time wouldn't allow for both of them to return, Isoceles elected to stay in the past with Mason. After a few months, Mason gained the ability to project his thoughts and feelings into Isoceles' dreams. By mid 2010, he was able to communicate by flashing the light on his device in Morse code.

With IA unable to return to the future, the pair travelled together for a few years. At some point after December 2nd, 2011, they explored to the fishery, and were quickly chased away by Doug. At another unknown point shortly after this, the two checked up on the transmission device left by Isoceles, and briefly spied on the Spire. However, in the January of 2012, Isoceles and Mason were attacked by a weakened Regiminis, who Isoceles believes to have been Nocta. After days of running, Mason begged Isoceles to leave him, and return home with the song of time. Isoceles did so, and Mason was left to die for a second time.

While it's unknown exactly when Isoceles returned to the present, he was called back to the Astral Observatory forums on July 26th, 2019, in response to Wolfcat submitting the New Wave Bossa Nova. It was now that he called in his favour with GHOSTBABEL, and had her begin helping him and the hacker group get the players into the Astral Observatory Subspace. This, by extension, would get the players back into JohnisDead.com. Isoceles initially acted as an enigmatic third party, though began directly speaking to the players through the Safe Haven Discord server in the August of 2019. Both he and GHOSTBABEL had a long period of absence after the appearance of BUP.

Isoceles, alongside GHOSTBABEL and Moonman, returned on April 20, 2020, ready to carry out their Subspace plans. However, as they gave the players a data bomb built by the hacker group, Pumpkinhead re-emerged, stole the bomb, and deleted the Safe Haven Discord server. This cut of their connection with the players, but more importantly, cut off communication with the hacker group. Due to this disruption, in May 2020, Isoceles began communicating with the players over the Astral Observatory Forums. Here he began revealing much of his past, elaborated on certain topics, and spoke about many of the differences in his timeline's series of events.

Once again, Isoceles' and GHOSTBABEL's communication with the players was disrupted. In the June of 2020, Pumpkinhead took a dead version of Isoceles as his mask, gaining control over his forum account. This Isoceles, unlike the alive one, refused to return to the present when attacked by Regiminis. This dead Isoceles was the one who led the players to the Helper's Hat locked within the Astral Observatory, and is seen speaking to the players in the videos BERAUBT, The Forerunners, and Gratitude of the Precursors. After the players defeated Pumpkinhead, Isoceles regained access to his forum account, and informed the players that he would be heading to Florida to check on Moonman. Once Moonman's life was likely saved, Isoceles and GHOSTBABEL received another transmission from the hacker group. This transmission contained instructions requiring the players to locate and input a code on the Subspace. The instructions were successfully followed, finally establishing a communication point between the players and the hacker group on the Astral Observatory Forums.

Personality

IsocelesAssassin

One of the last of the ID of what becomes like a fleeting dream. A hero in a world never meant to be. What does that reflect as back to the higher planes I wonder? I want to be friends with everyone always and forever personally.

Alternate Incarnations

Other timeline versions of IsocelesAssassin.

The nature of IsocelesAssassin's existence within the Prime Timeline isn't completely understood yet. IsocelesAssassin himself is the Astral Timeline version of the player] Circlehunter. Somehow, one version of the time travelling IsocelesAssassin from the Astral Timeline seemingly ended up in the Prime Timeline, where he was presumably killed by Regiminis.

This specific version of IsocelesAssassin who was killed has their own article - DeadOne. However, it is important to note that they are not the Prime Timeline incarnation of IsocelesAssassin - instead, they are simply another Astral Timeline incarnation of IsocelesAssassin who somehow ended up in the Prime Timeline.
