Hargreeves’ Monocle is an important and seemingly magical item that will allow its wearer to perceive a person’s inner nature. Owned by The Monocle throughout the entirety of his life (and the namesake for his code name), it was next used by Number Five in order to perceive Vanya’s nature. However, he witnessed Pogo’s experimentation, the horrific sight of which caused him to faint.[1]
- In the TV series, the monocle is briefly mentioned, but is intended to serve as a red herring; Luther notices it absent from his father’s person but the enigma of who stole it does not recur following this particular moment.[2]
