A character who never speaks, at least not in a way understandable by the audience. There are three variants: The Voiceless: A character who can speak, but never or rarely does. Its sub-variant The Silent Bob: A character who does not speak, but still expresses a lot. The Speechless: Someone who does not speak onscreen because they cannot speak at all. The Unintelligible: A character who speaks, but is for one reason or another unintelligible to the audience. Note that this category includes those who do not speak understandably, or at all, as a Running Gag. But it does not include characters who have a legitimate reason not to speak (e.g., most babies, people in comas, mute). This character may be a Silent Partner. Compare with He Who Must Not Be Seen. Has nothing to do with He Who Must Not Be Named. |

In Fantastic Four: The Animated Series, Black Bolt communicates in sign language because a whisper can kill. When his brother imprisons the Inhumans in a "Negative Energy Barrier", the only thing that can break the barrier is Black Bolt choosing to send all the people into underground bunkers and then speak. All of the city above ground was utterly destroyed, but so was the barrier. (It was necessary because the air was getting thin, and all other attempts to bring down the barrier failed.) | |

Saarebas, in the Dragon Age universe, are Qunari who are unfortunate enough to be born as mages. The cultural response to their existence appears to be sewing their lips together, so that they can't utter spells unless their assigned handler makes it possible. Thus, they almost never speak. | |

Miss Othmar and the other adults in the Peanuts specials are unintelligible to the audience, with their speech coming out (to us) as "wonk-wonk-wonk." The kids, however, can understand them - though since the kids only speak English, this leads to awkward moments of the kids repeating what has just been said to them by way of translation. | |

Tom and Jerry are, for the most part, entirely voiceless (though "Spike the bulldog" does talk at times). Well, if you don't count when Jerry does something particularly painful to Tom and he howls in pain. |

On The Simpsons, Maggie normally doesn't speak simply because she's a baby. But even in the future in the episode "Lisa's Wedding", she's never able to say a word without being interrupted - and all the while, a number of other characters complain that she never shuts up. In other episodes set in the future, she's often conveniently somewhere else for the duration of the episode in order to avoid having to answer the question of what Maggie will actually sound like. One Christmas episode does feature her as an adult and a rockstar famed for her magnificent voice. Unfortunately, due to a poorly explained pregnancy complication, she is medically forbidden from speaking until the baby is born. At which point she's back to being interrupted before actually saying anything. Subverted only once, at the conclusion of a flashback episode which reveals that Lisa's first word was "Bart." After Homer puts Maggie to bed, she removes her pacifier and speaks her first word with no one around to hear it. That first word? "Daddy." |

Zorro's manservant, usually named Bernardo, is mute in most versions. He often pretends to be deaf as well in order to gather intelligence for his master (who is able to understand him). In some Darker and Edgier versions, this is the result of his tongue having been cut out by the bad guys; in the 1990s TV remake - which featured a teenage version of this character named Felipe whom Don Diego had previously rescued from a battlefield - it was explained as psychosomatic. Naturally, the episode that explains this also includes Felipe's dramatic one-shot cry of 'Zorro!' just in time to alert Z to a bad guy behind him. | |

Rise Matsumoto of YuruYuri is never audibly heard by anyone other than Nishigaki-sensei (and possibly Chitose), who will then comment on what she said, or say it to the other characters. Anytime she speaks, her mouth moves but nothing can be heard. One character says she can't hear what Rise is saying when watching the play that Rise is in and "speaking" in episode 12 of Season 2. | |

Leonoardo from the "Clyde Crashcup" shorts of the original The Alvin Show would only talk by whispering in people's ears, but was inaudible to the audience. He did speak once, when he was angry at Clyde, but in an unintelligible whimper; it still wasn't very loud. |

In an episode of Scrubs, the wife of an Episcopalian couple is never heard talking, and is at one point told by her husband to stop making a scene when she audibly exhales. Like most elements in Scrubs, this is taken to a deeper and more serious level when the husband explains to JD and Turk that he and his wife don't communicate or get along well outside of the bedroom, and now that is being threatened by his erectile dysfunction. | |

In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, three of the four Greybeards cannot speak even in a whisper, as their voices are powerful enough to cause earthquakes. Thus, Arngeir speaks for them. The game draws attention to this in a rather awesome manner; if the player attempts to talk to one of them, they will greet him/her with a single whispered word, and the entire castle shakes as they say it. |

Black Bolt, king of The Inhumans from the Marvel Universe, has a voice that destroys anything in its path, whether he wants it to or not. Because of this, he never speaks in the presence of allies (and even with enemies, usually only as a last resort). He's also been subjected to Power Creep, Power Seep. If he whispered, you'd be ripped to pieces. If he shouted, it'd be like a nuke. Maybe several of 'em. Hell, if he happens to whimper when hurt he makes the whole goddamn planet he's on tremble. | |

Morn on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Of course, the rest of the cast jokes that you can never get him to shut up. Morn laughs at a joke once, albeit in a muffled voice. Also the Breen, allies of the Dominion and the Cardassians (who are also Faceless Goons as well), speak in unintelligible noise ... but all the characters around them, notably the Female Changeling, seem to understand them perfectly. |

Steven Universe: When Pink Diamond began appearing in flashbacks in season 5, it was a long while before she was heard to actually speak. For instance, her first appearance in "Jungle Moon" is in a dream where her role is played by Stevonnie. This turns out to be because her having the same voice as Rose Quartz would be a dead giveaway that they are and always were the same person. | |

Maine, from Red vs. Blue, is only capable of growling menacingly due to being shot in the throat. Even before that, he rarely spoke on screen. | |

A running joke in The Spectacular Spider-Man involved the character Hobie Brown (the future vigilante Prowler) being interrupted whenever he was about to speak. He finally speaks in the series' penultimate episode. | |

The Micallef Program. Australian comedian Shaun Micallef had a skit where he was a Stylistic Suck Spaghetti Western hero called Sotto Voce who'd ride up to characters on his white horse, whisper his lines faintly, then ride off (or shoot them) while they were trying to work out what he'd just said. | |

Darth Nihilus of Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords "spoke" only in guttural whispers in a way that was utterly unintelligible to all but the characters of the game. It actually sounds an awful lot like the sounds made by the metal spider-things in Lost in Space, the 1998 film. |

The Sooty Show: Sooty, in all his incarnations, never speaks as far as the audience can hear merely whispering his words into the ear of his human handler. His companion Sweep also has a restricted vocabulary, though in his case he does make a squeaking noise. In fact Sue, the female panda puppet, being the only one of the puppets that can speak... | |

God in Dogma. Since God's voice is the voice of creation, living humans would die instantly if they ever heard her speak out loud (though saying "Beep" seems to be an exception). Handily, she has the Metatron around to pass on instructions to mortals. | |

Shimmer never speaks in Young Justice. She's a bit of a Butt-Monkey, so a Running Gag is that she usually ends up knocked out by the heroes before she even has a chance to open her mouth. Also true for a lot of heroes and villains due to the show having tons of characters. Most of the members of the JLA and Injustice League still have yet to speak, for instance. |

Possibly subverted by Cotton from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. He's lost his tongue and the parrot talks for him. Of course, the parrot only uses nautical terms to do so, so someone has to interpret for the parrot. The lone exception is when, after passing the order down the line to "Watch the boat," the parrot passes the order to Cotton, who dejectedly realizes that not only is there no one else to pass it along to, he couldn't do so even if there was. | |

The Butler from The Prisoner (1967). Originally the role was going to be a speaking one, as a tall, erudite gentleman. However, Patrick McGoohan decided to be a little less on the nose and cast dwarf actor Angelo Muscat in the role, also making it silent in the process. | |

Subversion: No Face in Spirited Away usually fits this trope as he is typically only able to communicate in sighs, murmurs and gestures that often leave the other characters baffled as to what he's trying to tell them, but he does temporarily become able to talk halfway through the film. | |

Maris, Niles' first wife on Frasier, never makes any vocal sounds onscreen despite being quite an influential character — all her offscreen dialogue is related to the viewer through discussions of it by other characters, including Repeating So the Audience Can Hear. She is also rarely seen in any way (except once as a silhouette, and once more in a brief glimpse of her completely covered in bandages in the hospital.) | |
