The Narrator serves as an omniscient commentator overseeing events within his story, directly communicating only with Zagreus and Melinoë. These two characters uniquely hear and interact with him, often offering retorts during their journeys. Zagreus addresses him as "old man," while Melinoë uses his true name, Homer—revealed in a flashback where her utterance of the name causes the Narrator to panic and feign unfamiliarity. His connection to the poet Homer emerges through interactions with a bust in the House Contractor. Repeated examinations identify this bust as a "distinguished poet" who has "yet to earn his fated fame," prompting Zagreus to attempt communication. The Narrator dismisses these efforts with phrases like "The vastly irritating Prince gets no response," implying the bust depicts him and resembles classical Homeric iconography. Existing non-corporeally, the Narrator observes events without physical form. When Melinoë examines shades in the Crossroads training area, he explains some Underworld souls lack forms, reduced to their "base essence"—prompting Melinoë to express concern for his well-being, hinting at his purely observational existence. Dialogue suggests the isometric camera perspective represents his viewpoint, with lines confirming he follows Melinoë relentlessly. He openly prefers Melinoë over Zagreus, describing the latter as stubborn, brash, lazy, and "vastly irritating." While he responds frequently and respectfully to Melinoë, Zagreus’s attempts at engagement are routinely ignored or dismissed. His disdain extends to Cerberus, whom he deems more monstrous in normal form than in Infernal guise. His habit of directly addressing characters mirrors Homeric apostrophe, a fitting device given the presence of Achilles and Odysseus—heroes central to Homer’s *Iliad* and *Odyssey*.
