Mouth of Sauron	comment	A character may be strictly He Who Must Not Be Seen, but they need to transmit orders to their subordinates and intimidate their enemies. The solution? Hire this guy. His job (although sometimes not his only job) is to talk for (and sometimes even impersonate) the real He Who Must Not Be Seen, who often is standing somewhere in the background. The Mouth of Sauron often serves as The Dragon and/or Number Two, and can sometimes be a villainous counterpart to a Supporting Leader: when the real villain is in the background pulling strings, he needs someone to go out and lead his Evil Army against the forces of good. Sometimes, the Mouth of Sauron is set up to be the Big Bad and is even believed to be so by everyone except the real Big Bad's most trusted advisers. In this case, it overlaps with The Man Behind the Man. While many examples and the Trope Namer are villainous, this is not necessarily an "evil-only" trope: any heroic Mysterious Employer is likely to have one. Christianity has two famous examples: The Metatron (in older stories) and the Archangel Gabriel (in the most famous one) who speak for the big guy himself.

Mouth of Sauron / int_109f7814	comment	Jim Moriarty uses this strategy in first season finale of Sherlock, "The Great Game", to keep his distance from Sherlock. He takes hostages then wires them to repeat what he says or he'll detonate a bomb strapped to them unless Sherlock is able to unravel the mystery he challenges him with. For the most part, Sherlock is successful but an old woman unfortunately gets blown up, not because Sherlock failed, but because she began to describe Moriarty over the phone and he needed to keep her quiet. This also presents a flaw in using a hostage to be your mouth.

Also introduced in the '90s was Ozymandias, a character created to serve this role for Apocalypse. As is typical for servants of Apocalypse, he eventually ended up betraying his master (which makes more sense when one remembers he was originally an official in Ancient Egypt who was "blessed" with immortality by Apocalypse so that he could be Big Blue's slave forever). In the Age of Apocalypse the External Candra served this role to Apocalypse. This being the Age of Apocalypse, it didn't take long for someone to kill her off in pursuit of the ever-coveted Klingon Promotion.

Mouth of Sauron / int_227a9bb9	comment	In Coldfire Trilogy, this is exploited and inverted by the Hunter Gerald Tarrant. He makes frequent visits to places outside of the Forest pretending to be a mere servant of the Hunter. It helps that almost nobody knows what the Hunter actually looks like or if he's even human. He explains to Damien that it's more convenient this way — people don't mess with him out of fear of provoking his "master's" wrath. On the other hand, if he showed up as the Hunter, everyone would be trying to kill him in the hopes of getting in a lucky shot (it would have to be a very lucky shot, since he's a master of earth and dark fae who once easily defeated an army the Church sent into the Forest after him by himself).

However, it is so vast and incomprehensible that even its quori minions — nightmare spirits that themselves are somewhere between demons and Eldritch Abominations — cannot commune with it directly without being overwhelmed. Only one quori, the Devourer of Dreams, possesses sufficient power to talk to the Dark directly, and his job is to tell the other quori what their master/god/thing wants done.

Mouth of Sauron / int_4d9653ef	comment	The Dabus in the Planescape setting serve as messengers and emissaries for the nigh-omnipotent Lady of Pain, who does not directly communicate with anyone else. Notably, the Dabus do not speak either - the jury's out on whether they're incapable of doing so or simply choose not to - but are fully capable of understanding speech and will at least communicate by causing symbols to materialize in the air around them. Since the Dabus are the Lady's chosen messengers and exist to carry out her orders throughout Sigil, they are generally seen as acting with her authority and, accordingly, virtually everyone does their best not to get in their way, regardless of their alignment, allegiance, or persuasion; obstructing or attacking them isn't a guaranteed death sentence, but it generally annoys the Lady, which tends to be bad for one's long-term health.

Doubly so when the Deathlord in question has corruption of mortal societies as part of their agenda. Particularly disturbing example is the Abyssal known as Weeping Raiton Cast Aside (or just 'Raiton'), who claims to serve the Neverborn directly, making her the Mouth in respect to the Deathlords. Any character can be a Mouth of the Neverborn. Spend a long time in the Labyrinth and listen to their Whispers, and eventually their Will as well as their Secrets will become clear to you.

He claims that all the morally questionable methods of forcibly conscripting witches into the coven system and his oppressive rule are ultimately necessary to achieve the Titan's wish of eternal paradise for them. It's eventually confirmed that the entire thing is a complete lie meant to trick witches into helping Belos, in actuality a 17th century human witch hunter named Philip Wittebane, complete his ultimate goal of total genocide of the Boiling Isles.

Mouth of Sauron / int_69d15cc0	comment	Marvel Cinematic Universe The Avengers has a character like this called "the Other" who greatly resembles the Trope Namernote If you recognize Alexis Denisof underneath the makeup and phalanging, you win a star.◊ and, in the opening scene, facilitates the deal with Loki for an army in exchange for the Tesseract. Midway through, the two of them have a psychic conversation about how much Loki owes their master and how boned he'll be if he can't make good on his word. The Stinger reveals that he's working for Thanos. The Other reappears in Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), until Ronan gets annoyed and turns his head around, then demands to speak to his master directly. Avengers: Infinity War has Ebony Maw, who acts as the Other's replacement and preaches to the populations of defeated worlds that they should be honoured to serve his masterâ€™s grand designs by being slaughtered. Tony Stark, naturally, is unimpressed with Mawâ€™s shtick and interrupts him the first chance he gets.

They are flown into Denver, hooded on the side of a road in the Rockies, and are driven by Mike and a driver to the laundromat in Albuquerque in a van. Mike then watches the candidate as they survey the project, while Gus watches from the shadows. The first candidate we see is rejected, with Mike being sent a phone call from across the room to receive the message. With Werner Ziegler on the other hand, his thoroughness and attention to detail impresses Gus enough to step out of the shadows and personally shake his hand.

While the Dark Council handle the day-to-day running of the Empire and the war with the Republic, the role of the Voice is to inform them of the Emperor's wishes. In the Sith Warrior's storyline, Darth Baras usurps the role in order to become The Man Behind the Man, reasoning that since the Emperor only speaks through the Voice, anyone who becomes the Voice is basically the Emperor for all practical purposes. Unluckily for Baras, the Warrior succeeds in freeing the real Voice of the Emperor, who then names the Warrior the Emperor's Wrath and orders Baras' destruction. During the final confrontation with Baras, he attempts to order the other members of the Dark Council to help him by invoking his title of Voice of the Emperor, but the others point out that if both he as the Voice and the Warrior as the Emperor's Wrath claim to speak for the Emperor, then clearly the victor of their duel truly represents their Emperor.

Just to further drive this home, most of those who do Fisk's dirty work never take their orders directly from Fisk. In season 1, they take their orders from James Wesley, at least, until Karen kills him. What ends up doing Fisk in is when Nelson & Murdock flip Carl Hoffman, a corrupt cop who was directly ordered by Fisk to kill his partner Christian Blake. In season 3, because Fisk is under house arrest, he can't give orders to any of his henchmen directly. His lawyers only do so much as Fisk is careful to minimize Ben Donovan's part in the operation, so most of the time, when Fisk needs to give orders, he goes to a secret room in his penthouse to hold conferences with Felix Manning, who has taken over most of James Wesley's old duties.

The Listener is the only person who can speak to the Night Mother, the unholy matron who chooses which contracts the Brotherhood will accept. Without a Listener, they can't receive any contracts the normal way, which forces them to rely on word-of-mouth to hear if anyone has performed the Black Sacrament (the ritual prayer for an assassination heard by the Night Mother and spoken to the Listener). Morrowind has this as part of the Great House Telvanni questline. Since the mage-lords who rule the House are too busy with their various magical experimentation and backstabbing, in order for anything to actually get done, they employ a council of personal servants actually called Mouths to attend to the day-to-day business and assign tasks to lower-ranking members to perform. As part of your advancement through the House, you have to first become a Mouth yourself to the House's most progressive Lord (his current one wants to retire) and then finally gain one yourself when you become one of those mage-lords. Interestingly enough, once you have a Mouth of your own, you can actually send him on quests for a couple of artifacts he think would be useful.

They were all stunned to find that their leader was none other than the well-known and popular hero of Arabasta, Sir Crocodile, who was also one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Because Dragon-allied players are forbidden from speaking to the Golden Child, they receive orders solely from Bong Cha, who also serves as their contact and handler while in the field. Issue #11 ends with her being unceremoniously fired, memory-wiped, and replaced with Daimon Kiyota. In a much more straightforward example, the Black Signal (AKA John) is formally referred to as the messenger of the Dreamers - who at this point are still trapped in the Dreaming Prison and unable to speak to the players except through very rare psychic dreams. Accordingly, John spends most of his time communicating with players via his own unique Lore system, trying to usher in new converts to the worship of the Sleeping Ones. He's pretty amiable about it, too.

Since the mage-lords who rule the House are too busy with their various magical experimentation and backstabbing, in order for anything to actually get done, they employ a council of personal servants actually called Mouths to attend to the day-to-day business and assign tasks to lower-ranking members to perform. As part of your advancement through the House, you have to first become a Mouth yourself to the House's most progressive Lord (his current one wants to retire) and then finally gain one yourself when you become one of those mage-lords. Interestingly enough, once you have a Mouth of your own, you can actually send him on quests for a couple of artifacts he think would be useful.

However, his Adeptus Custodes still receive his orders through occasional flashes of psychic activity, so on the few occasions they leave the Imperial Palace, it's tacitly understood it's at the Emperor's command. One subgroup of the Custodes, the Emissaries Imperatus, serve this function even more than their brothers in the Custodes. When they speak, it's with the Emperor's voice. This is the reason why they take the role of delivering the information concerning the new Primaris Marines to the various beleaguered Space Marine chapters throughout the Imperium: they want to make it absolutely clear that the Primaris Marines are a gift from the Emperor... and you do not refuse a gift from the Emperor. Averted in the case of the four Chaos Gods. Each of them have favoured servants who're the highest among their ranks (e.g. Skulltaker for Khorne, Doomrider for Slaneesh), but they aren't used as messengers, exactly. Their presence does, however, tell their mortal servants that the Gods are paying attention.

Mouth of Sauron / int_bcb32dc6	comment	Shadowrun: The main characters are technically criminals and mercenaries-for-hire, and most people who hire shadowrunners want to avoid publicly associating with them. Hence came the system of the "Mr. Johnson", a Mysterious Employer responsible for directly contacting, hiring and paying the shadowrunners without their bosses getting anywhere near them. In some rare cases the Johnson is the employer directly, but mostly they are just representing whoever wants the job done. Also, dragons in the setting commonly had interpreters (when the dragons first awakened, they could only communicate telepathically and didn't speak English) who often made public appearances on their patron's behalf. Since dragons can shape-shift, some of them even exploit this by appearing as their own Mouth of Sauron (though given they're easier to kill in metahuman form, most don't). Hestaby is known for not having a translator, instead using magic to project her voice magically.

(Just imagine a Dalek barking, "Have a nice cup of tea and sit down, this may take a while!") So, Davros was introduced as their humanoid creator. Of course, the gag with Davros is that he talks and acts exactly like a Dalek himself, breaking his words into syllables and screaming his lungs out, but he also spends a good deal of time chatting politely with the Doctor. The Time Lords in the Classic Series would occasionally send someone to relay a message to the Doctor. In "Terror of the Autons", one travels 29,000 light years to warn the Third Doctor the Master has come to Earth, though his coordinates slipping means he appears in mid-air. In "Genesis of the Daleks", in a scene partially based on The Seventh Seal, a Time Lord appears to tell the Fourth Doctor he has been sent to Skaro to avert the creation of the Daleks. In Big Finish Doctor Who, in the New Eighth Doctor Adventures and the first "Dark Eyes", Straxus takes this role.

Namely, He/It survived the fall of his master and Mordor and fled into the shadows, only to assume the mantle of Dark Lord and Big Bad and the name of Herumor for himself. He's spent the last several years orchestrating the enemy attacks from without and corruption from within the Reunited Kingdom of Gondor and Rohan that have brought it low and seriously weakened it. It gets to the point that the part of the realm secedes as the "Kingdom of Adunabar" in Ithilien and Mordor. Unfortunately, this kingdom and its' leader are in the thrall of Herumor and thus its' King is the Mouth of Sauron to the former trope namer.

Paul hired Barney, a man with no contacts or experience in the rug trade, because he was using an assumed identity and couldn't risk being identified by any of the many rug merchants who knew the real Paul. Murder Without Icing features another relatively mundane example. Victor Jowdy is a lawyer representing several unseen creditors of sports team co-owner Winthrop Holland. Jowdy's employers have tasked him with determining whether or not the sports team will make a good investment in place of Holland's debt. Because Jowdy is a representative and not an actual creditor, he avoids being murdered like another man Holland owes money to. Killing Jowdy would merely cause his employers to send another agent.

Mouth of Sauron / int_f1da64b5	comment	The Mouth of Sauron from the The Lord of the Rings books only appears in the Extended Edition of the film adaptation of The Return of the King. The character design plays up the word "mouth" for all it's worth.

Mouth of Sauron / int_f74b5f80	comment	Babylon 5: Mr. Morden is the human mouthpiece of The Shadows. Sheridan tosses him into a holding cell and offers to torture him until he talks, but Delenn points out the Shadows will just kill Morden and replace him with another mouthpiece. Later, in "Z'ha'dum", Sheridan meets another such mouthpiece who does a similar job but has a higher rank with the hierarchy the Shadows have set up. The Lumati (appearing in "Acts of Sacrifice") also frequently engage in this during diplomatic functions since they are a highly isolationist and elitist race that refuses to deal with "inferior species" and when communicating with anyone they perceive as the latter, they will speak via proxy using a symbiotic mechanism. Once you gain their respect, however, they will simply speak with you directly.

Mouth of Sauron / int_ff9ab17f	comment	In the Star Trek: The Next Generation two-parter "The Best of Both Worlds", Picard has his entire identity ripped away and his brain merged into a hostile cybernetic Hive Mind so he can be its spokesperson. Even his Borg designation, "Locutus", is Latin for "he who has spoken". Star Trek: First Contact retcons this so as to make Locutus's primary function that of a "counterpart" for the Borg Queen.
