A character who accompanies the other characters with the stated purpose to document, chronicle, compose songs about, or otherwise immortalize the adventures that they have. Their motivation for this may vary from trying to make a name as a famous storyteller, through insatiable curiosity, to coercion by other characters. It may also simply be their job. In Heroic Fantasy, the chronicler is often a Bard, a Wandering Minstrel, a scholar, etc. Professional journalists fall under the Tagalong Reporter subtrope. The chronicler's relationship with other characters can also vary: they might be The Load, a Non-Action Guy, or of limited use as The Social Expert. But they can also be or develop into a full-fledged adventurer and peer to the other characters. The key part is what motivates them to go on the adventure in the first place—namely, the desire to tell others about it later on. Sometimes overlaps with Narrator All Along and In Defence of Storytelling. Out of universe, it can be a manifestation of Most Writers Are Writers and Write What You Know. Supertrope to Tagalong Reporter. Compare I Should Write a Book About This, The Storyteller, and First-Person Peripheral Narrator. If this character is a Fourth-Wall Observer, then he's an All-Knowing Singing Narrator. Very much Truth in Television. Virtually every major expedition since the invention of writing had to have someone keeping track of events, so it was this whenever the leader himself wasn't the one taking notes. Very often, a priest/missionary took the role thanks to being the only literate fellow around — which cemented the image of a chronicler as a non-combat type. |

This is Wren's job in JourneyQuest. In a slight variation, she is tasked with following the questing party rather than actually joining it; indeed rule number one is observation only, and no interfering with the story. | |

In the anime adaptation of Tears to Tiara, Taliesin joins Arthur and Co. after they prove themselves to him, and then serves as a rather competent Spoony Bard, whose skills with the sword match Arthur and whose discovery and usage of Song Of Creation is pivotal in proceeding to the Very Definitely Final Dungeon for the finale. | |

Lantry the Sage in Tyranny is The Quisling to the Villain Protagonist Fatebinder. He happily jots down the player's atrocities (or avoidance thereof) in exchange only for the Fatebinder's protection, the opportunity to witness history, and being allowed to not actively participate in anything truly awful so he can carry on his order's claim to being a Impartial Purpose-Driven Faction. | |

In Pathfinder: Kingmaker, Linzi the bard joins up with the Stolen Lands expedition because she wants to write a book about a hero's adventure. All the narrative aspects of the game are told from her POV. Nurah the bard follows in Linzi's footsteps in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, being a cheerful halfing bard who joins you as a camp follower in act 2 to record the opening of the fifth crusade and the potential re-taking of Drezen. Unlike Linzi, Nurah is a spy for the demons and is responsible for two major obstacles on your way to Drezen — and dozens of deaths amongst the crusaders — until you find her out. It turns out Nurah used to be a slave and was brought to the Worldwound by a Cheliax noble to chronicle her master's deeds. Nurah sold him out to the demons and joined them as a spy to spite all the other 'civilized' crusaders willing to ignore the slavery and mistreatment of a sentient being all in the name of fighting demons. While a Knight Commander who follows the path of The Trickster can cause her to abandon the demons as well and become a Wild Card, to everyone else she will end up either dead or unrepentantly fleeing to swear vengeance by the end of act 2. |

While he is in more of an administrative position, the (ex-)journalist Diethard Reid from Code Geass is essentially this. He didn't need to join the Black Knights, as he was already in a high ranking media position, but upon seeing Zero for the first time, he was immediately enthralled and impressed and wanted to see how far Zero would go in his plans and did everything to make them reality. Upon the betrayal of the Black Knights, Diethard switched sides to work with Schneizel to see how far he'd go and was killed by a Geassed Schneizel. | |

Father Blaise in Kaamelott is Kaamelott's priest, archivist and scribe, so it's his job to write down the epic quests of the Knights of the Round Table. Quite a few episodes show just how hard that job is when the knights keep remembering stuff just after he wrote down something else, weren't aware the stories had to be true, or most commonly, are an exercice in failure from beginning to end. | |

He's the first member of Kyoshi's group, meeting her six days into her journey to master the Elements, and grows to being something of a Confidant and morality chain in case Kyoshi gets too stressed or slips into being a Knight Templar. | |

Red Country has the infamous mercenary Cosca encountered by a dime novelist, in a Shout-Out to Unforgiven (the novel is a Fantasy Western). As in the film, the novelist gets caught up in his subject's nasty behavior although unlike the film, the novelist here eventually has enough and kills Cosca, and at the end of the book, is about to start chronicling a famous Mountain Man who has been built up as a larger-than-life hero throughout the book. | |

In A Knight's Tale, William Thatcher and his sidekick, Roland, come across the naked and penniless Geoffrey Chaucer. Chaucer accompanies them to their next joust, and delivers a lengthy (if fictional) reading of Thatcher's pedigree to allow him to enter the competition. | |

Varric Tethras from Dragon Age II and Dragon Age: Inquisition is both The Spymaster and The Storyteller; he talks for a living as well as to entertain. In II, he provides the Framing Device, having turned the controversial events around Hawke into a world-famous tale. | |

The bard Iolo FitzOwen was one of the mainstays of the Ultima series, although he could first be recruited into the Avatar's party in Ultima IV. In the same game, however, the Avatar could be a bard himself (combining both roles), in which case Iolo never joined him. | |

Inverted in Ciaphas Cain: While Cain has official memoirs, the novels are presented as Cain's reminiscing during his retirement, and they're actually put together (with chpaters from additional sources to provide more context) by his lover and employer Inquisitor Vail, who interjects with footnotes either to clarify a point of detail, to claim that Cain's interpretation of her actions was incorrect, or make catty comments when he goes into too much detail regarding his female conquests. | |

Nurah the bard follows in Linzi's footsteps in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, being a cheerful halfing bard who joins you as a camp follower in act 2 to record the opening of the fifth crusade and the potential re-taking of Drezen. Unlike Linzi, Nurah is a spy for the demons and is responsible for two major obstacles on your way to Drezen — and dozens of deaths amongst the crusaders — until you find her out. It turns out Nurah used to be a slave and was brought to the Worldwound by a Cheliax noble to chronicle her master's deeds. Nurah sold him out to the demons and joined them as a spy to spite all the other 'civilized' crusaders willing to ignore the slavery and mistreatment of a sentient being all in the name of fighting demons. While a Knight Commander who follows the path of The Trickster can cause her to abandon the demons as well and become a Wild Card, to everyone else she will end up either dead or unrepentantly fleeing to swear vengeance by the end of act 2. | |

In the Kingdom Hearts series, Jiminy Cricket chronicles Sora's journeys across the series in Jiminy's Journal. In later games, he also provides hints as to where to go or what to do in the story. Since he's an actual cricket, he mostly hides in Sora's hoodie. | |

Young Guns II. Pat Garrett recruits a chronicler for his pursuit of Billy the Kid, despite the man admitting he's unsuitable due to his poor physical condition. He does come in useful however during a sticky situation due his ability to speak the native languages. In a Brick Joke, it's mentioned at the end that the book he wrote was a dismal failure. | |

Dandelion the Bard is Geralt's best friend and more or less personal chronicler in The Witcher novel series. | |
