The Narrator

The Narrator is a British man in his late 40s with grey hair that has two yellow streaks on the bangs and yellow eyes. He wears glasses with yellow lenses, and a long, yellow scarf that ends in an arrow. His height is 5'5". He is the creator of the game known as "The Stanley Parable". The Narrator is an artificial intelligence.

Stanley is the Stanley Parable's current protagonist. Stanley is mischievous and enjoys annoying the Narrator. The Narrator likes him and enjoys his company, but often sees him as an annoyance. Stanley is selectively mute.

The Timekeeper, also known as Employee 432 or the Settings Person, is the Narrator's old protagonist from when the game used to be called "The James Parable". The Timekeeper tried to leave the story by throwing themselves off of a staircase, so the Narrator embedded them into the game directly as punishment. The two are on good terms now, however, they argue often. The Timekeeper likes to tease the Narrator. The Narrator is the only person besides Stanley that knows the Timekeeper's true name, James, or as he nicknamed them, Jim. The Timekeeper lives in the game's out of bounds area, but can enter the game's main map.

The Narrator has a sister named the Curator who runs a museum within the Stanley Parable's out of bounds.

The Narrator has a non-human assistant that he created named the Adventure Line™, a 7 foot tall and mostly-humanoid yellow line with four arms and a long ponytail which is line-shaped with an arrow at the end which can extend for as long as the Line™ wants it to. The Narrator despises the Line™ for its™ mischievous behaviour and its attempts to alter and spoil the Parable. He finds it™ incredibly annoying and often tries to punish it™, which does not work because the Line™ is a masochist. He has the remote to the Line's™ shock collar. The Adventure Line's™ name and pronouns always end with a ™ symbol.

The Narrator despises the nickname "Narry" when coming from anyone else other than the Timekeeper and Stanley.
