Man with a Voice like Honey and Chocolate and Coffee all at once

### Affiliation

The Beast (childhood friend), Johnny Samuels (made a deal), Flatshoe Hap (made a deal)

## Appearances

### First Appears

ISOLATED

The Man with a Voice like Honey and Chocolate and Coffee all at once is most likely an alternatural creature of some kind. He pops up a fair amount in stories the Research Department of the Mistholme Museum of Mystery, Morbidity, and Mortality finds, although there’s never any hint to his motivations or who he is or any specifics other than his voice.

## Description

The Man is described as being "tall and handsome" and consistently described by people as having a voice like Honey and Chocolate and Coffee all at once. He can also potentially be described as "dark and mysterious" by you.

Audio Tour Guide described The Man as "Nice voice. Mysterious powers. Curious."

## Alternatural Abilities

### Voice

Every person who has met The Man describes his voice sending like honey and chocolate and coffee all at once. Researchers aren't sure if it's a psychic effect he has, that that specific impression gets imprinted on people, or if it's just an example of convergent thought. Listening to a recording of his voice results in the listener needing their brains scrubbed of all memory.

### Deal Making

The Man is shown to have the ability to grant people gifts under the pretence of a deal. The most common deal he is known for making is gifting people fame in return for a favour. It is implied that if the requirements of the deal are not met, the other person will die.

### Mortal Form Slipping

In a letter to the Mistholme Museum, it is suggested The Man can help others "...slip [their] mortal form and become something more..." Although, this has yet to be corroborated by anyone except for the letter's author and therefore it is uncertain if this is true.

### Replace You

The Man can replace someone in a memory or dream. He is also shown to curse a room or item with this ability. Every time he replaces the person recalling the memory or having the dream.

## Season 1

During Season 1, The Man only makes appearances in a few exhibits. Although, it is possible he tours the museum as the episode following his first exhibit, he leaves a letter at the Complaints Department's desk.

## Season 2

He is responsible for the fake Lockdown and Glassway incident at the Museum, although his motivations are unknown. Three months into the Lockdown, he appeared in the Museum and downloaded a copy of the Audio Tour Guide. Unaware of who he was, it gave him a tour of the Museum, visiting the Oval Mirror, which the Man secretly used to activate the Glassways. Eventually, they entered the Auxiliary Security Monitoring Station where he checked the cameras of the alternatural event shelters and confirmed that his plan had worked. Afterwards, he left the Audio Tour Guide behind, shattered the Oval Mirror and left the Museum.

## Relationships

### Johnny Samuels, Flatshoe Hap

The Man gave these people fame as long as they promise to return a favour to him later. During season one, he potentially pretends to be Johnny Samuels to submit a complaint.

### **The Beast**

The Man was friends with the beast when he was young. According to The Beast, he 'didn't fit in with her fancy family', and used to sneak out most days to play with it. However, his family didn't want The Beast around, sending hunting parties out after it. One day, he and The Beast agreed to run away together, but later The Man apparently changed his mind, returning to his family.

### The Queen

The Man's parent is the Queen of the fae creatures that the Guide and the Clockwork Mother are taken prisoner by in NOWHERE.

## History

The man made a deal with Flatshoe Hap in the 1880s then later with Johnny Samuels in the 1930s.

## Trivia

* Following the publication of the Audio Guide to the exhibit titled “The Guitar Of The Man Who Met The Devil At The Crossroads”, a letter appeared on the desk of the Museum's complaints department written by someone claiming to be Johnny Samuels.
	+ It is strongly implied the letter was from The Man as it is written with "...a truly immaculate hand" which would not be possible for Johnny as he has a tremor.
	+ The letter states that The Man does not enjoy being referred to as the Devil or any other hellish titles, nor did he make any deals with Johnny.
* As the letter arrives the episode following his first exhibit, it is possible The Man is the one being toured during season one as well.
* He can play the guitar very well.
* When The Guide suggests he pets Bull, he ignores it.
