Codename: Double L (AKA TheLadyLazarus) is a very mysterious fan fiction character connected to the GuillotineCalamity (aka Sister) ARG Arc on YouTube. The contributor of this charater introduced LL by useing lines from the poem "Lady Lazarus" by Sylvia Plath in the first ten videos.

What is known about Codename: Double L
As of yet, there is not very much information out there on LadyLazarus (AKA "LL" or Double L.) There are more questions than answers concerning this character. One of the biggest questions is whether "Lady" Lazarus is in fact a lady.... Recent discussions on the CTK Forums have led players to believe that LL is actually a man. Of course it hasn't helped that we never really see LL's face as it is usually covered by a strange mask. Even so, LL's face has also been blurred, smudged and faded in some videos. The change of the name from TheLadyLazarus to Double L has made it easier to create the ambiguity of gender.
Another big question is Double L's relation to Sister. There are some players who swear that DoubleL has been a truly evil character from the beginning. While it is true that her first set of videos were definitely not of a jovial nature, her more recent actions do not reciprocate such intentions.
As of late, Double L seems to be quite friendly with GuillotineCalamity. In her newfound blog a message warning Sister of her grandfather, W was decrypted. Oddly enough, this wasn't the first time Double L has sent Sister a message of warning concerning W. Though, for the sake of argument, this may also be seen as DoubleL taunting Sister about being chased.
Double L and Sister.... Friends or foes?
In all "TheLadyLazarus", "LL", "Double L", or whatever you want to call him/her is an incredibly complicated character, and will continue to be so until he/she chooses to reveal more about themself. I have a feeling that there will be an end to this, soon...
Video Clues and URLs
Codename: DoubleL has been a pretty busy person as of late. In her most recent videos she has left a bone for the players to chew on in the form of tiny codes.
This video was intended to be a response to GuillotineCalamity's video, The Invitation [Part 2]... In the video in question, DoubleL answers most of the questions Sistermutteredto herself as she walked through a dark (and seemingly empty) house finding various items. Each of the items that Sister comes across is "picked on" by LL. It can be argued that Sister was being taunted or helped by LL with the showing of the importance of the items she had passed by. One of the more notable nods was a message written on a wall or fence that Sister scanned over. Siter had "spotlighted" the writing on the wall, but it was still difficult to make out. With help from LL, we find the the message is... "[color=red]They're all dead. They just don't know it yet.[/color]"
As we turn to the most recent videos; an arc I had dubbed the Rebirth Of Cassie? the "bones" we're left within these videos were tiny codes that turned out to to be tinypic URLs. Each picture found had DoubleL's signature mask in them... many times. Each photo had a part of a phrase in it, and when put together, the phrase was "HELL HATH NO FURY" (Which, at the time, is rumored to be the current answer to Sister's "Knock Thrice" riddles). Each pic is a montage of LL masks, and each one scarier than the last.
The Blog [Codename: DoubleL]
The recently discovered Double L blog has made 2 posts, each a letter to a character B (confirmed to be Youtube user Project Static). Though the letters both tell coherent stories, inside both are two coded messages. On the blog description it gives a coded URL describing the Sebald Code where after a ringing is mentioned, every 11th word is part of a code that makes up a sentance (the code ends when ringing is again mentioned). Her first letter's coded message read:
guillotine calamity beware W is near He will get You you won't live
DoubleL.
The second letter (which was wrapped in binary code, morse code, and reverse text) gave the secret message:
B her eyes are black now I'm scared
DoubleL
Though both letters are still under heavy speculation and investigation, it is unknown whether more coded letters are to come in the future.
Video titles
The titles of LL's videos are a bit peculiar. Especially the first ten. When compiled together and put in reverse order they make the sentence "If Looks Could Kill Then I Would Make Myself Blind". Though the quote's origins are not entirely known, the video Project Static. offers a possible explanation at the end.
All of TheLadyLazarus' videos can be found on YouTube.
