| Cloaked Characters was established in 2000 by Joseph Tavares (a.k.a. Chlorine/Jay Tablet) and Rory Restani (a.k.a. Rory Oneders). Their music has been described as poetic hip-hop with deep, philosophical lyrics and is backed by producer Mr. E's unique and energetic beats. With influences to include Tupac, for his passionate poetry, Swollen Members, for their character and energy, and Pink Floyd, for their musicianship and psychedelic sound, Cloaked Characters has quickly made a name for themselves in Central Oregon, and is recognized by Bend Bulletin and The Source Weekly as being a regular part of the local hip-hop scene.

They've shared the stage with artists such as E-40, Tech9, Abstract Rude, Dj Vadim, Yarah Bravo, Sweatshop Union, 2Live Crew, and many more.
