Aliases: The Song of Stillness, The Bone-Faced Harper

Description:

Androgynous humanoid of tall, emaciated build. Face of polished bone, hollow eye sockets emitting low light. Carries golden lyre strung with hair or sinew. Voice may manifest as multiple overlapping tones (choral layering).

Nature and Behaviour:

Travels the threshold regions between realms, using music to pacify and attract mortals. Each performance reduces listener affect and memory function. Final stage of exposure results in total emotional erasure and motor stillness.

The Minstrel occasionally collaborates with other entities — notably the Mirror Saint — to facilitate mass enthrallment events.

Field Notes:

Witnesses report sound transmission through reflective mediums (e.g., glass or still air). One recording recovered; playback induces trance and eventual catatonia in 72% of subjects.

Containment Protocols:

Do not record or replay fae auditory phenomena. Employ white noise saturation. Maintain physical distance of 20m minimum from any musical source in reflective terrain.
