Alegander Jamfoot[1], also referred to as "???" and "The Mysterious Voice", is a member of the Snakolytes, sent to Snaktooth Island in order to keep watch over The Triplicate Space.
Personality
Jamfoot is theatrically hammy, speaking both in grandeur as but also laments a lack of control. They[1] have a legitimate interest in the goals of the organization, and believes their own knowledge to be very beneficial to it. Jamfoot is stuck monitoring the Triplicate Space for years on end, and hopes for a better salary and employment benefits. They feel offended when their privacy is breached and seeks petty revenge.
Outside of their tapes, they show to be similar to Snorpy in mindset, writing down their thoughts and theories on scraps of paper. Notes pinned on the pinboard include Jamfoot reminding themself they are 'not being watched', to 'stay hydrated or else', that their birthday is coming up and where to find peanut butter. In combination with their displayed portrait of themself as employee of the month (and the break room space itself implying there are more employees present which there are not) it seems they struggle with their loneliness and are trying to retain sanity and health.
In isolation, Jamfoot has formed an attachment to Cappucceetle, naming it Joey Quickbeans and considering it their best friend, making them similar to Gramble.[2]
Design
Jamfoot has not been given a model and the closest to an appearance is the "Employee of the Month" award wall display. This design seems to have been made in picrew[3] judging by the "asset" reuse whereas all other Grumpuses have carefully constructed designs to differ from one another. Jamfoot's underbite is borrowed from Cromdo, their nose from Triffany and their hat from Clumby.
Unique features are Jamfoot's scruffy dark gray fur color, red framed sunglasses that have been mostly smashed - the frame on the left is partially shattered, while the right frame is completely missing - and a black woolen top (which is partially obscured by a dormant Cappucceetle).
The unused "grumpphoto" file found in the gamefiles seemingly depicts a younger Alegander in their picrew glory. The glasses are not yet broken, their fur not unkempt and, due to this, seems less "lost". They are holding up a Strabby.
In both the letter and in Cappucceetle's SnaxScope text, Jamfoot's icon appears as the 'unknown' emoji[4], a silhouette of a Grumpus lacking unique features with a white question mark on top. Jamfoot will continue to be referred to as ??? when speaking, regardless if one has listened to Tape #2 in which Jamfoot mentions their name and the additional dialogue during the credits upon having listened to all tapes.
Relationships
In the original conclusion, "???" speaks with Clumby on the phone with a calculated, slow manner of speech. Supposedly ??? had asked Clumby on how the talk with "members of the expedition team" went, trying to figure out how much they know. Clumby shows own agency in the matter and finishes ???'s Snakolytes motto.
After entering the Triplicate Space and listening to all tape recordings, "???", now known as Jamfoot, calls Clumby but now cannot reach her. Jamfoot uses the 'leave a message' feature, telling Clumby to pick up the phone, vents about their breach of privacy, and comes to the conclusion Clumby should dig the dirt on Lizbert's expedition team.
Clumby contacts the Journalist per mail, acknowledging their feat and asking them what they will do with their "obtained knowledge". Despite an implied superior position, Jamfoot does not seem to be as informed as Clumby. Clumby is well aware the Journalist went searching the Triplicate Space and send an accommodating letter thereof - stating the Journalist now 'knows the truth'.
The two have never met and Jamfoot may not even be aware of the Journalist' existence as they suspects the whole of 'Lizbert's crew' to be responsible for threading on their privacy.
The recordings of Jamfoot's interview that lie around has them introduce themself. There are also several assets with text that can be read which are Jamfoot's thoughts noted down. None of the given material disclose more on Jamfoot's identity. Regardless, the Journalist took the liberty to refer to Jamfoot with he/him pronouns in a singular flavortext, on the basis of nothing presented within the game.[1]
