But he is always ever-present, ready to deliver the best narration he can, even if he can get a little [[LemonyNarrator wacky during it]].



* His relationship with the Stanley is a complicated one. Sometimes, The Narrator is just a neutral observer narrating Stanley's life. Sometimes, he's a useful guide and a friend to him. Sometimes, they don't get along when Stanley decides to ignore him and makes his own path. Sometimes, they get along when strange things happen. Sometimes, The Narrator can be cruel to Stanley and he's even killed or lied to Stanley a few times. Sometimes, Stanley can be cruel to him by taking away his happiness and destroying his game. It all depends on the choices Stanley makes.



** Before, he would place the unruly person into the world of [[Pantheon/VideoGameStages Minecraft]], only for him to lament how open ended it was and decided to switch locations. He tried to follow [[Pantheon/GamingGenresNToZ Steve and Alex]] and tried to put up blocks to make their story seem less open-ended. That didn't end well as they were able to mine those blocks easily. He also thought about to put the unruly person into the worlds of VideoGame/{{Firewatch}} and VideoGame/RocketLeague as well. But given that that he eventually didn't really liked that idea the first time when he put Stanley in those places, he decided to not pull that idea again.



** Another particular deity he started to mess with was Diogenes, AKA the Man in the Cauldron. He first took notice after hearing that he was being followed by a british narrator, similar to Stanley and then both Stanley and Diogenes became friends. So the Narrator decided to test his resolve by narrating a tale where Diogenes had to climb an even more difficult mountain but he refused to follow the directions of the Narrator, making his journey all that more difficult.
** And then there was the Abridged version of Kirito, who the Narrator decided to narrate over after hearing of how he tends to not care about the established plotline. Kirito tried to ignore him but then the Narrator started insulting him with the AwfulTruth and then was promptly silenced. Since then, the Narrator loves to mess with Kirito whenever he can.
* Often seen commentating on matches for the [[VideoGame/{{Dota2}} Defenders of the Ancient]] and his habit to be too wordy and very sarcastic has annoyed them to no end. Others however have found his commentary and observation to be priceless.
* The Narrator was very curious after meeting Martin Walker and hearing about his story and how his own delusion led him to a villainous path. Walker on ther hand despises for the very idea of being [[ButThouMust pushed to commit horrible things]] and does not ever want to hear his narration. The british man simply just tried to place him in a more "relaxed" story but that only made Walker more furious.
* Once tried to get a hold of The Mob but they were surprisingly one of the few deities that made the Narrator feel powerless as their sheer randomness and constant hive mind mentality ended up overwhelming him. That and they are, [[MemeticMutation for some reason]], obssessed with the Broom Closet.
* Vegeta [[Creator/TeamFourStar once attempted to play his game]] but the resulting lack of rebellion and the continuous restarts drove him insane. Because of this, The Narrator is perhaps the only person besides Beerus that Vegeta fears but he will never admit it to his face.

furious. He also became interested in Frank Underwood, who [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWUNxcvZCpg actually played his game once]] and admitted he didn't get the game he was playing. The Narrator decided to followed him around while explaining the point of his story and at one point also put Underwood in place of Stanley in Stanley's story, just to get him to understand his story. The former president still finds the whole thing confusing for him.

Closet. (Insert Name Here) is another deity he has trouble guiding due to their ability to make "irresponsible choices". However, they are much easier to dispatch. The last time this happened, he was able to trap them outside of the confines of the game. He doesn't realize, however, that they are the ones that help Stanley move at all.
* Vegeta [[Creator/TeamFourStar once attempted to play his game]] but the resulting lack of rebellion and the continuous restarts drove him insane. Because of this, The Narrator is perhaps the only person besides Beerus that Vegeta fears but he will never admit it to his face. Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie the Rabbit, Foxy the Pirate Fox also attempted to play his game and each [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDGHFDFNk0E got]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hR2NmdHwHEY different]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i2uTiR_ywk endings]]. Foxy doesn't get along with The Narrator, Bonnie argued with The Narrator a little less and Freddy was completely fine in following his narrations. The Narrator tried to get Chica the Chicken to play his game as well, but that remains to be seen.



* He was incredibly impressed with the narrator of Naughty Bear, whom manages to not only communicate perfectly with him, but also gets Naughty to go through with just about anything he so wishes him to do, practically his revenge. He came to respect him and the two can be heard discussing ways to get people to follow through with their stories.

* Although they fill similar roles and his title was named after him, the Narrator and Lemony Snicket aren't actually on cordial terms. Reason being that Snicket believes the Narrator to be too controlling of his narration and his sheer sadism when punishing those that don't follow the story has made him wary of him. The Narrator doesn't really mind that but is apalled that Lemony would call him sadistic.
* ICEY was one of the first deities to take a more direct approach at opposing the Narrator, given that she too was the victim of a narrator that wanted to railroad her into a story she didn't want to be part of. She was later joined by the Doki Doki Literature Club, as once they learned of the nature of their home game they started to dislike the Narrator's actions. Monika specially because the whole reason she started to mess with the code of her game was because of how she was forced to not be a love interest but discovering that the Narrator is as much of a pawn as she is made things a bit more complicated with the Narrator. The british man personally just finds ICEY and the girls amusing and would often try to narrate a tale they would be happy to be part of, even if they rarely want to follow it.

The Narrator doesn't really mind that but is apalled appalled that Lemony would call him sadistic.
* With The Narrator being such a ControlFreak, some wondered about if he has ever got a taste of his own medicine by being railroaded himself. He and Stanley did come across a white board detailing everything that is about to happen. The Narrator, ironically, didn't like this idea and refused to follow the white board, only for the universe to reset itself without his input. It is believed that the Narrator and Stanley are both stuck in a GroundhogDayLoop and they will continue to repeat the story eternally. Some, like Rika Furude, have blamed this on the Narrator and hated him for forcing Stanley to go through the same events over and over leading to insanity or death (sometimes both). She started to pity the Narrator once she discovered he isn't in control as much as he thinks he is but still doesn't think highly of him.

* It is believed that the Narator and Stanley are both stuck in a GroundhogDayLoop and they will continue to repeat the story eternally. Some, like Rika Furude, have blamed this on the In his original world, The Narrator is aware that he's in a video game and hated him for forcing can be compared to a video game developer, making sure that his game and his story follows through and that Stanley to go through the same events over and over leading to insanity or death (sometimes both). She started to pity the Narrator once she discovered he isn't in control as much as he thinks he is but still doesn't ruin it by his disobedience. The Narrator had recently found new content in his game, only to be disappointed by its underwhelming offerings. He then decided to improve upon the game, creating a sequel (which is the exact game as the original one) only with added stuff like balloons, [[Pantheon/MiscellaneousItems a reassurance bucket]], and a bunch of Stanley figurines as collectables. In the Pantheon, he tried to reach out to other experienced video game developers for advise, only for that to end poorly.
** He initially worked with both Robert Daly and Nobuyuki Sugou. He had a falling out with both of them as he didn't really like their ideas of adding an MMORPG (as it was too grindy and open-ended for his liking) and they both tried to take over his game as their own. Same goes with the Lucifer, creator of the arcade game Pony Island, who also did the same so that he can use it to collect souls. The Narrator had a much better time with [[Pantheon/BodyAbsence Tulip Olsen]], who has an interest in game making, and is much nicer than the ones before her. The Narrator couldn't get his head around her constructive criticism, and ended up with the same sequel game as before.
* If there's another thing The Narrator dislikes (besides open worlds and people who don't follow him), it is being left alone. Perhaps that is why he is why he would rather follow any deity when Stanley isn't around. Some deities who are annoyed by The Narrator, wanted to risk using [[Pantheon/ArtifactsLibrary The Universal Remote]]'s skip function just to skip whatever he says. (Insert Name Here), however,
think highly that is not a good idea, citing the time he created a Skip Button because of him.
feedback from the game. Pressing said button caused Stanley to disappear for long periods of time, causing The Narrator to lose his mind from long periods of isolation. Although The Narrator claims to not remember this event, INH thought it was either because of another memory wipe by those time loops, or [[UnexplainedRecovery something else]]. Believing INH's account, people who have experience isolation for longer periods (like [[Pantheon/CausesOfSadness Chuck Noland]] and [[Pantheon/GenderRoles Della Duck]]) pities what he has gone through.
* [[spoiler:Upon collecting all the figurines and reminiscing bout the past, The Narrator tries to remember the time before he made the story of The Stanley Parable. He remembers being once passionate and made "big decisions", then he stopped making those decisions and became lazy. So, he created the character of Stanley to do his thinking for him, deciding what to do and where to go. Perhaps, he thought, the reason why he created Stanley because he was lonely and wanted companionship. He told himself he would give up using Stanley one day and think for himself, only for him to [[GroundhogDayLoop resume playing with Stanley one more time]]. Perhaps that's why he decided to came to the Pantheon and applied as a God, so that he can finally think for himself for a change without having to rely on Stanley. It was fun having to follow all these other deities around dictating their lives, but deep down, he still misses Stanley. And so, he created a portal to finally let Stanley into the Pantheon and let him become a God too. What a lovely memory, The Narrator thought to himself, he would like to [[GroundhogDayLoop revisit this memory once more]]. He's just have to wait until this profile has finished.]]
* Cheaters fear to be taken to the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8HInxDeC-o Serious Room]], a small bluish-gray room with a table The Narrator hand-picked out of thousands of other serious tables. This is where the Narrator is said to deliver very serious punishments for cheaters, a practice personally endorsed by Dr. Hax. He recently retired The Serious Room in his sequel game but it still can be found in his memory room. However, he bought it back into the Pantheon, presumably out of fondness for it. Only one deity in the pantheon Pantheon has ever made it out of the room and that was, of course, Stanley himself.

* To those who don't know his true colors, Humbert Humbert is nothing more than a typical literary scholar with a RepetitiveName. But he has a dark side he hides from society - in truth, he is a vile pedophile infatuated with "nymphets", with a capacity for crime. In particular, the events of his story showcase him finding the perfect nymphet, and the horrific abuses he inflicts on her in the name of his lust. If you asked Humbert himself, however, he would appear significantly more sympathetic - in his eyes, Dolores, or Lolita, as he prefers to call her, is a promiscuous FilleFatale, and he is perpetually at her mercy. [[UnreliableNarrator Whether or not you believe him depends on how much stock you put in his narration]].
* Humbert's ascension came about after his unceremonious death in jail, where he awakened all of a sudden, wondering if he'd obtained some kind of eternal reward for his suffering. This...wasn't the case - instead, he was informed that his story of origin had received such infamy for its MisaimedFandom and its style of narration that he had been chosen as the God of {{Unreliable Narrator}}s. He didn't take this news well, insisting that his account had been perfectly accurate, and that he had been the victim in all this and didn't deserve to have his name slandered like this. It took the promise of being able to get the "truth" out there for him to calm down and accept his ascension.
* Ever since he entered the Pantheon, Humbert has not been very popular, as like-minded individuals are a minority within the deities ascended, and those who would gladly destroy him for his transgressions are much more common. This upsets him, as it makes his noble goal of sharing the truth behind his story much more difficult. In particular, he steers clear of [[Pantheon/{{Planning}} Light Yagami]], who not only detests his crimes, but finds his lack of self-awareness unsightly. The irony is lost on nobody, save for Light himself.
* The general disbelief of his tale in the Pantheon is in no small part due to the intrepid reporting of [[Pantheon/JusticeBringers Chris Hansen]]. The man specialises in pedophiles, which Humbert exemplifies, and knowing of his story beforehand, it didn't take very long for him to spread the word, culminating in visiting Humbert himself and requesting he have a seat while they discussed his desires. Humbert tried his hardest to convince him that "Lolita" was the ManipulativeBitch he'd painted her as, but he wasn't having any of it, calling him out as the pathetic, predatory moral coward that he was, and making sure everyone knew it. With Humbert's plans all but ruined on arrival, he naturally detests Hansen, a feeling that is completely mutual.
* As a testament to his overwhelming unpopularity, Humbert has managed to get himself banned from ''two'' houses. The House of Pantheon/FamilyAndRelatives wants nothing to do with his twisted idea of "family", while the House of Pantheon/ChildhoodAndAdolescence declares him ''persona non grata'' lest he attempt to use its members as a ReplacementGoldfish for Dolores. Not that this stops him from trying to find substitutes in other houses.
* While not banned from the House outright, the House of Pantheon/LoveAndAffection doesn't like him very much, either. A vast majority of them see his lust for Dolores and other children as something truly heinous, and a cruel perversion of everything they stand for, and even a few of the more sympathetic members of the Hall of Pantheon/TaintedLove like Brynhild and Gabriel Belmont look down on or are disgusted by him. Of particular note:
** [[Pantheon/InfatuationAndObsession Flonne]], the resident LoveFreak, was warned about him by Laharl and Etna, who were aware of the rumours surrounding him, but decided to pay him a visit, hoping to find good in his heart. Ditzy as she was, she actually bought into Humbert's sob story at first, and was promptly ridiculed by Etna, who saw it as a [[BlatantLies blatant load of baloney]]. Humbert continued to interact with her, enthralled by her purity, but with the time spent with him and the warnings from her friends, she began to notice something off about him and the way he looked at her. Realising he was a pervert, she became incredibly disturbed and cut off ties with him, much to his dismay.
** While he is naturally drawn to children, he makes an exception for [[Pantheon/LustfulActs Chloe von Einzbern]]; he doesn't find her physically unattractive, sure, but he is repulsed by how shamelessly lewd she is, far from the pure little nymphets that most girls her age should be. She's still in his strike zone, though - in his mind, she's obviously manipulating him into lusting after her, and he is utterly blameless in the fantasies that she's far too powerful for him to act on.
** [[Pantheon/PersonsOfDesire Misato Katsuragi]] just finds him to be a horrible person, and one who represents a path she's glad she didn't go down - while she may or may not have some attraction towards Shinji, she'd never act on it in the predatory ways that Humbert specialises in, and though flattered at the attention she gets from younger males, she doesn't take advantage of it. In a sense, she can be considered Humbert's GoodCounterpart. On Humbert's part, he just views her as a disgusting whore and privately envies the natural attraction the opposite sex seems to have for her.
** He doesn't really care too much for [[Pantheon/TaintedLove the Kankers]] as individuals, but he is quite intrigued by [[DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale what they represent]]. Looking into this perception of female-on-male abuse as more acceptable than the reverse, Humbert has latched onto this as a reason why people are so unwilling to believe all the sins that Dolores has forced him to commit with her sultry wiles.
* Having had to protect his friends from predators in his home game, [[Pantheon/GenderRoles Masaya Okonogi]] is no friend of Humbert's, especially after he caught him making eyes at [[Pantheon/ExtrovertFlaws Konomi Yanase]]. Though, it's not like Konomi would be unable to defend herself from him, being skilled at wielding the naginata, but Humbert still resents Masaya for getting in his way regardless.
** This, along with his criminal activity, general track record, and leering at many other students besides Konomi, has gotten him banned from the Vincennes Private Girls' Academy entirely. Naturally, the other ascended students have made him an enemy as well, with [[Pantheon/{{Subjects}} Tamie Nogi]] in particular using her influence in the school newspaper to make his depravities known.
* He isn't without his allies, however, as some other deities have found themselves able to relate to certain aspects of his character. One notable one is [[Pantheon/VillainousPersonalitiesAndQuirks Patrick Bateman]], who, like him, has the desire to do various evil actions to those around him, but hides it behind a [[MaskOfSanity well-crafted mask]]. They get along superficially, with Humbert's lack of overt affluence not giving Bateman much to want to kill him over, and Bateman has yet to do so on a whim yet. Humbert, naturally, remains cautious around him, but cannot resist the allure of someone to commiserate with.
* [[Pantheon/EvilActions Molag Bal]] has taken an interest in him, viewing him as a potentially interesting perpetrator of that which he stands for, and encourages him to be more true to himself and more uninhibited with his desires. Humbert refuses on the grounds that he views himself as a flawed but still decent person, and even he can tell that obeying the orders of the "Daedric Prince of Rape" would be a blemish on the spotless record he perceives himself as having.
* Despite his specific proclivities, Humbert despises all other pedophiles in the Pantheon, believing them all to be worse than he is, and more distasteful in their actions - not unlike his views on Quilty from his work of origin. Most would view this as hypocritical, and they would be absolutely correct in doing so; most likely, the real problem he has with them is their targeting the nymphets in the Pantheon that he sees as his.
** One notable exception to this rule is [[Pantheon/VillainousReputation Wild Hunt]]'s Champ, who, while preying on children, does so with a similar mind to Humbert himself, as both see the children they lust after as innocent little angels whose purity must be preserved. Though, Humbert doesn't get the point of killing them, not when he can simply keep them as his and nurture them however he pleases.
* Having been a teacher in life, he applied for a teaching job at the [[Pantheon/{{School}} Elysium Academy]]. Unsurprisingly, he was rejected. He isn't banned from the house, though.
* The name of his story, and the name he bestowed upon the young girl he preyed on, is the origin of the term "Lolicon", so people grew curious as to what might come of a meeting between him and [[Pantheon/TypesOfMechas Shotaro Kaneda]], the progenitor of the term "Shotacon". One chance morning, they did meet, and due to Humbert's interest being restricted to little girls, he didn't really think much of Kaneda. Kaneda, having heard the rumours, felt much more strongly about Humbert, who found himself narrowly avoiding being trampled over by Tetsujin.
* Despite being named after his beloved "Lolita", Humbert wants nothing to do with [[Pantheon/RobotsAndAutomata Dorothy Haze]], and considers her an insult to the real Dolores' memory. Humbert takes umbrage with her sex work, finding her to be far too tainted to use as a ReplacementGoldfish, and steers clear of her despite her actually being somewhat willing to indulge him.
* He really isn't sure what to make of Judge Claude Frollo. He recognises Frollo as a kindred spirit - a man driven to horrendous lust at the hands of a foul temptress, and these feelings drive them both to do actions others decry as horrible. But Frollo, who sees sin everywhere but within, recognises Humbert for what he is - a pitiful idiot making excuses for his own shortcomings. Frollo's refusal to buy into Humbert's rhetoric naturally sours Humbert's opinion on him. If there's one thing he agrees with the man on, it's that Esmeralda is an evil whore who deserves to die in a fiery pit.
* One of the adaptations of his tale was directed by [[Pantheon/EyeAbilities Stanley Kubrick]]. Learning of his presence in the Pantheon, Humbert wanted to give the man a personal visit; while he's glad Dolores' death remained unmentioned in this version, which is a plus, he nonetheless wishes the movie was more accurate to the story that Humbert himself wrote, insisting that it was the real version of the events and should be treated as such. His attempts at contacting the man have gone dry, though, as Kubrick does not wish to associate with him in any way.
* Has found himself on the hit list of the [[Pantheon/{{Thieves}} Phantom Thieves of Hearts]]. Their group formed in the first place due to the actions of a pedophilic gym teacher, so learning of his crimes hit rather close to home for their founding members, and the fact that he's clearly learned nothing from his crimes and intends to repeat them makes him someone to be dealt with quickly before his bad luck runs out and one of the many little girls in the Pantheon is seriously harmed.
* He disagrees with the teachings of [[Pantheon/MentalismOther Sigmund Freud]]. Humbert's pedophilia stems from his childhood girlfriend dying when he was thirteen years old, with him never really getting over it. But he doesn't think it counts as a FreudianExcuse - after all, he doesn't need one, because he's not so bad a guy, see? Many psychologists both in the Pantheon and out have attempted to profile him, but still he remains utterly unaffected, not least due to [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse most of his unsavory personality traits being unrelated to this trauma]], or the possibility that he's making it all up.
* Also has a position in the Hall of Pantheon/{{Trickery}}.
