Arima no megane, I think that we have different base premises about the nature of the clowns. I think that there are humans that want to laugh as the world burns with a fire that they themselves set.

I think that a CCG employee, probably an investigator, who did want to destroy ghouls until they found out that V was pulling the strings at the CCG, and then wanted to see both V and the CCG burn for there crimes would be a plausible member of the clowns.

I did not come up with the idea of Souta being a human and a mole at the CCG, but I believe the theory with the evidence in the manga right now. I had not considered Chigyou until this latest chapter, but seeing how he seems to adhere to standard manga tropes for science types makes me suspicious of him. I've only seen Ishida use standard manga tropes to subvert them. The HEAD of the science division would probably have the clearance level to get intel about operations. I am sure that the science division knows a great deal about the true nature of ghouls that is kept hidden from the investigators in the field so they don't doubt their purpose.

Kaneki Ken-not Hide, while I think the clowns know that Souta is human, I doubt the ghoul restaurant did. I think having his nature as a human revealed would have been sure death. Plus, it was a game to play ghoul in that situation, not eating in front of Ami was all part of the act.

As for his comment that the quinque was 'fairly unpleasant' a CCG agent might say just the same thing for different reasons. It is fairly unpleasant that ghouls acquired a quinque from corruption in the CCG or killing a dove.
