Who is the narrator (in-game character I mean)

[Starwars]

Y'know, I was wondering who the narrator actually is in the game? He obviously narrates the opening of the game as a relative of yours, but... he still speaks to you when you're playing.

I guess he's a ghost since he narrates the fighting as well. :p

the ancestor's ghost

Doesn't need to be a ghost. He could still be alive. In the depths of The Darkest Dungeon. A prisoner of Cthulu, but somehow telepathically communicating with you in order to save the manor.

He could have turned evil and is now drawing you into the Darkest Dungeon making you think it's what you must do to save the manor but when you get there he'll turn on you.

So many possibilities.

All that happened to the Estate, the Ruins, the Weald, etc. is due to your Ancestor and his influences and acts. I think he isn't really a ghost narrating your heroes' moves, as he is simply part of all the evil and rotten environment. He's practically in everyone's mind.

And you are the Heir, watching your heroes' progress and you just CANT get your ancestor's voice out of your head. I don't think he's narrating as much as he is haunting your every move with either encouraging, warning or taunting words.

I'm sure that the mystery your ancestor/benefactor will be revealed once the game is fully released and you go into the Darkest Dungeon itself.

Actually we know for sure he's dead. One of the things he says is "I remember their angry faces coming up the stairs.....But I was already dead....And the letter was on it's way". Also, in the opening cutscean, at the end it's heavily implied that he commited suicide, unable to live with the results of his frenzied digging.

That being said, considering there's so much paranormal stuff going on, it could be he's now a disembodied spirit.

I didn't say he wasn't dead. Just said he doesn't need to be a ghost. The Shambler's carry the Ancestor's Trinkets now.

well "ghost" is sort of a loose term here. It all depends on how you define it. Also, if he (not they because as far as I can tell there is only one family member involved in this whole thing) is imprisoned, how would he becommunicating with us?

Telepathically as I said.

Why does he now have this ability as a disembodied entity? Also I'm pretty sure the eldritch powers he released would be able to prevent him from communicating at all with the outside world if they imprisoned him.

Okay, yeah disembodied entities totally have never been rumored to have telepathic abilities...

[AwkwardHillbilly]

Dude it's just a theory...no need to argue it like it's a matter of saving the world.

I'm just giving my opinion dude. I'm wrong 9/10 times regardless of what it is so it wouldn't surprise me if I was wrong here as well.

"I was dead before they found me."

Given his 'morbid genius' for necromancy, he might have found a way to re-animate himself.
