Charlatan is the name given to multiple clones of Trickster created by Echidna. They shared his memories, but, like all Echidna clones, felt a driving desire to destroy everything their original cared about.
Abilities and Powers
Charlatans presumably had powers similar to Trickster, possibly with some variations.
History
Post-Slaughterhouse Nine
When Echidna's "other self" took over, Echidna captured Trickster. When she came back from her vision, she had spat out Trickster along with two clones of him.[1]
Charlatans did not reappear later on. It is assumed that they were all killed during or after the Battle against Echidna.

Trivia
- Charlatan is only named in the tags of the chapters he appears in.
- The word charlatan is defined as "a person falsely claiming to have a special knowledge or skill; a fraud." This references Charlatan's status as a clone and refers to a deceitful person, similar to the name Trickster.
