is the voice heard constantly in The Stanley Parable, who serves a general purpose of guiding Stanley. Depending on Stanley's actions, the Narrator can serve as the main antagonist, the deuteragonist, a neutral/misunderstood character, or even Stanley's friend. The Narrator is a transcendental entity that exists independently from the game-world and manifests himself as a voice in Stanley's head. It is unknown what the Narrator truly is, but his powers, alignment, and motives vary per ending.
