➤ Alias: The Boy with the Hollow Voice
➤ Origin: Medway, early 2000s
Before Captivity:
Billy was a brash, creative teenager who spent most of his time playing punk guitar in abandoned tunnels. At age 14, in 2008, he left the house to record reverb effects in a disused train tunnel. He never returned. His disappearance devastated his younger sister and hardened his single mother, who never stopped hoping.
In Faerie:
Billy was taken as a Court Echo—a mimic in a gilded amphitheatre where fae nobles tested their favorite voices. His voice was stripped from him, and he was made to repeat the sounds of others—pleas, laughter, lullabies, screams. The fae fed on his mimicry. In time, he lost memory of his own speech patterns and began copying fae cadence. His body was altered to resonate perfectly: his ribcage slightly wider, his throat unnaturally smooth. Sometimes he mimicked things not present at all—trapped echoes of other captives.
After Return:
Two years later, he reappeared in the same tunnel, seemingly older and visibly shaken. His voice never settled—it slips between accents, pitches, and sometimes replicates people who have died. He struggles with identity and avoids his reflection, which sometimes mouths words he hasn’t said. He wanders from town to town, busking and searching for someone who remembers his real voice.
