The Narrator (Stanley Parable)

The Narrator is one of the main characters from the Stanley Parable series.
== Charactah Account ==
The Narrator is a constant, godlike entity who can become the main antagonist in certain routes. At one point, if Stanley disobeys the Narrator enough, he will arrive in a room where the walls contain the default developer texture, and there's a big box replacing the sky, with the Source skybox texture. The Narrator even mentions it.
The Narrator's personality depends entirely on the choices Stanley makes, and may develop into several different personalities, such as sad, angry, obnoxious, happy and confused.
The Narrator also displays a great deal of sarcasm; in the Serious Room, he exclaims that most rational people would say that the Narrator spends an absurdamount of time doing nothing but looking at tables.

== Trivia ==
* Some have theorized the Narrator to be Stanley addressing himself in third person and with everything being Stanley's imagination.
** This, however, seems unlikely to be true since numerous factors suggest otherwise, such as the Mariella Ending.
* The Narrator has claimed to rely on Stanley to exist. This contradicts his decisions in some endings, in which he seems happy to let Stanley die, and even went as far as abandoning Stanley in the Games Ending. It is possible he requires a protagonist featuring in a story to exist, not necessarily Stanley or his story, indeed The Narrator is himself the subject of the story on some occasions such as the confusion ending.
* Depending on the ending played, the Narrator can be considered a supporting character, a deuteragonist, or an antagonist.
* In the original Half-Life 2 mod, the Narrator is more rude and impolite in the endings.
* The Narrator will be at his most evil in the Countdown Ending, exclaiming various sadistic quotes (which differ between the mod and full game) and forcing Stanley through a literal countdown to his death.
* The Narrator is confirmed, in a stream with Stanley Parable writer David Wreden and his brother Douglas, to be the embodiment of the concept of Divorce.
* The Narrator makes a guest appearance in Please Don’t Touch Anything 3D and VR, mistaking the player for Stanley in one of the endings. However, he does not appear in the original Please Don’t Touch Anything.
** However, it is also safe to assume that you are Stanley in PDTA, which would explain both characters' fascination for buttons (you could use this to guess that PDTA is a prequel, but that might be a stretch).
