One of the oldest archetypes and basically the seed from which This Very Wiki grows: characters that are noted for their ability to tell tales, or at least their propensity to do so. Storytellers, whether a Eccentric Mentor at a campfire or The Bard in a court, help to spread a society's values, culture and beliefs. If done well, the moral emerges naturally from the tale.
Sometimes the storyteller's ales have a purpose in the main plot, as foreshadowing or maybe even as a Framing Device. At other times it is simply an interesting side excursion, perhaps to give more richness to the worldbuilding by letting us learn about the setting's history and culture.
Sometimes overlaps with Miles Gloriosus and The Münchausen. Could conceivably be made to overlap with Intrepid Reporter, if the journalist is getting people to tell their stories. Possibly a reflection of Most Writers Are Writers. Compare with The Bard.
For the Jim Henson series, see here, and for the video game, see here.

Orrec Caspro in Annals of the Western Shore. He develops the talent in the first book, Gifts, by making up extra "chapters" of his mother's many stories and epic poems. By Voices, he's renowned as a "maker" across the land and his storytelling figures heavily into the Ansul-Ald conflict. In Powers, he becomes a professor at Urdile's university, and his poem "Liberty" inspires many of the other slaves and runaways that Gav meets.

As in canon, Varric Tethras is this in Skyhold Academy Yearbook. He writes a few stories as part of the series, including a rewrite of The Princess Bride with his colleagues in the various roles, and is also the school's writing teacher — meaning that he's teaching his students how to become this as well.

X-Men
In the issue "Kitty's Fairy Tale", Kitty makes up a bedtime story for young Illyana Rasputin, casting herself as the heroine and other members of the X-Men as characters. Notably, Kitty cast Cyclops as a prince and Jean Grey as a princess cursed by the evil Phoenix and gave the Scott and Jean in her story the Happy Ending their counterparts were denied.
A teenager Illyana returns the favor much later, telling a sci-fi story where the dragon Lockheed "adopts" Kitty in his space gang after the White Queen killed her parents, and how she got over her pain and found justice. Her story not only helps Kitty to cope with her recent trauma of having been brainwashed by Ogum but shows Ororo (portrayed in Illyana's story as a depressed space pilot) that she is still herself, in spite of having lost her powers.

The Belgariad: Belgarath the Sorcerer often plays the traveling storyteller when he's Walking the Earth. Since he has thousands of years of practice and was present for many of the events the stories are based on, he's very good. In fact, he's a little too good, which can sometimes backfire. His loving embellishments of how Garion and Zakath fought off a dragon to bring his captive audience to groans of despair and tears of joy, leave their companions horrified by the danger and recklessness thus described. Once in private, the intrepid trio find themselves held captive by the audience as they receive a triple tongue-lashing from Polgara, Ce'Nedra and Cyradis.

The Simpsons:
Abe Simpson is fond of telling stories, although they tend to be rambling and nonsensical. Occasionally his stories are crucial to the plot, as in "The Curse of the Flying Hellfish", and it gets Lampshaded on "Lemon of Troy" when kids spontaneously gather around him when he appears out of nowhere to tell the story of the old lemon tree.
Homer appears to have inherited his father's gift for stories. Most of the Whole Episode Flashback episodes have him telling the kids stories of when he and Marge were younger.
The old hobo in "Simpsons Tall Tales", who regales the Simpsons with stories from American folklore.

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (1983): The episode "Beauty and the Beast" opens with an old storyteller telling to a group of children the eponymous tale. Teela comments that she loved it when she was a child, but Orko says it is only fiction. The tale becomes real when both are kidnapped by Skeletor, who sends them to a king that Evil-lyn turned into a monster years ago; the poor man only agrees to help because otherwise Skeletor will turn his people into monsters, too. Of course, Teela encourages the king to stand up against the villains; although he fails, she thanks him with a kiss that breaks the spell. At the end of the episode, Orko apologizes to the storyteller, saying that Beauty and the Beast was much more than a story.

In the Dragaera novels, this trope is associated not only with minstrels but physicians and coachmen as well. For physicians, it's a way to distract the patient's attention from the discomfort that medical treatment often entails; for coachmen, it's how they entertain stable workers whom their professional dignity forbids them from laboring alongside.

The Minstrel in The Last Hero, who is dragged along by the Silver Horde to chronicle their last great act of heroism. It is revealed at the end that he is only The Minstrel — no name other than that — and his entire purpose is to be the one that tells the tale. Despite his battered appearance by the end of it all, he seems to be a pretty good sport about the whole thing. Or else he has been driven insane by the ordeal and forgotten whatever name he had before.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney): Clopin makes a living by telling stories with his puppets, and opens the film by telling how Quasimodo was “adopted” by the judge Claude Frollo, becoming the bell-ringer of Notre Dame. He announces it as the tale of “a man and a monster”, but, as the story develops, it becomes clear the real monster is Frollo, not Quasimodo.

In Six Ages, Ekarna (goddess of trade and communication) is so good at telling stories that she can trade the experience for actual tangible items. She hails from a pre-medieval culture where most people are illiterate, so they carry their histories on metal "honor belts" and painstakingly woven story tents, where all the children of a clan are taught about their ancestors.

The opening of Amazing Stories starts with an old man telling stories for a group of cavemen around a fire; after a series of fantastic images, the storyteller’s face shows up on TV as a family watches. That establishes the essence of the series and also shows how old the art of telling stories is.

In the New Jedi Order novel Remnant, this is the role of the Shamed One I'pan, who both tells stories to entertain his fellow outcasts and also serves as a priest of the as-yet-inchoate Jedi Heresy, retelling the tales that will form the basis of the religion. Even Nom Anor, a spy, Manipulative Bastard, and all-around cynic, can't help but be impressed at how well I'pan works a crowd. Although I'pan is killed, he inspires Nom Anor to create the guise of Yu'shaa, the Prohpet, a charismatic figure who can spread the heresy further and wider than ever before.

John H. Watson from Moriarty the Patriot writes Sherlock's adventures under the pen name "Conan Doyle" in the series. Of course, much of the stories are fabrications agreed on with Sherlock, usually to keep the secrets of the mysteries Sherlock is actually pursuing, or to help Sherlock and William manipulate public perception of events in the direction they want.

Lorewalker Cho from World of Warcraft fits beautifully into this character archetype, acting at first as a guide for the player in Pandaria's Jade Forest and thereafter telling the player stories of such figures as King Varian Wrynn and Vol'jin of the Darkspear in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. He also serves as the narrator for a short animated series by Blizzard, The Burdens of Shaohao.

Oogway's Little Owl: Taylor, somewhat unintentionally, becomes a very talented one of these upon entering the Kung Fu Panda world, and recounting stories from Earth Bet that no one had ever heard before, like The Princess Bride, The Beauty And The Beast, and (Po's favorite), Star Wars. Perhaps the crowning moment of this is when she recounts A Bug's Life to a city of oppressed insects, who use the lesson to rise up against the mice who'd been extorting them.

Storytelling is one of the five available performance arts in Dwarf Fortress (the other four being music, poetry, dance, and sermons). In Fortress mode, dwarves might gather at your tavern to tell each other stories, while in Adventurer mode, storytelling can be used to spread word about your character's great deeds (though this is more time-consuming than simply bringing it up during conversation). Stories are always based on in-universe historical events, and the game only describes the basic premise of a story while leaving the details to the player's imagination.

William from A Tale Dark And Grimm. The most clear-cut example of the three ravens. He is a gifted storyteller with a flair for the dramatic, and he's also the one who handles most of the actual narration and the one who keeps the story on track when Dotty goes off on a tangent or Jacob gets reluctant about the topics.

In Secrets of the Furious Five, Po calms down his first students- a rowdy class of children- by telling them stories about how their heroes exemplified the ideals of kung fu. This works not just because the stories themselves are interesting, but because Po has a friendly, approachable personality and a good idea of what the kids will want to hear about. It's implied that Po was once in their shoes, long ago.

Theopholous Dumedd makes up fantastic tales for the younger students that seem to end up including a whole bunch of accidental truths.
The Author Avatar for Phil Foglio shows up in the comic. In fact, the first-ever page is him telling a story (presumably the Girl Genius story) to some kids. He shows up a couple times again in the comic, notably to meet Klaus in the hospital.

Wendy in Peter Pan. The fact that she knows "lots of stories" is what makes Peter take her to Never Land in the first place since the Lost Boys don't know any stories. In early drafts of the script, even the Indians listen in.

Usopp from One Piece is introduced regularly visiting his friend Kaya to tell her various tales he's made up, just to help cheer her up while she recovers from an illness. This, as well as and his habit of running through town yelling about pirates attacking on a daily basis, has given way to his skill at lying. That said, as the adventure proceeds, many of his tales become events he actually witnesses or experiences himself.

Star Wars Tales #19 had a story appropriately called "Storyteller". Far in the distant future, two young boys named Remoh and Otalp find the battered body of C-3PO. The droid entertains them with the tale of a hero named Luke Skywalker, who redeemed a darkened soul (Darth Vader) and freed the galaxy from the ultimate evil (Emperor Palpatine). Raiders come, destroy C-3PO, and murder Otalp. Remoh finds Luke Skywalker's lightsaber inside C-3PO's remains. Greatly inspired by the droid's tale, Remoh vows to free his people from the tyrants who rule them, declaring, "There is hope."

The titular character in Fallout Lore: The Storyteller is of course this, centering around adventures of a Powered Armor-clad wanderer, who has seemingly been spending decades traveling the wastes looking for stories and information to share, and is/was a member of the Brotherhood of Steel, but that's essentially all we know about him. note  Though oddly enough the first season didn't reveal him as the narrator till the very end of the season.

In Deadlands, after defeating a major evil, the characters can use the Persuasion skill to tell people the story of their deeds to try to reduce the level of fear among the local populace. This is important because fear strengthens the monsters and physically transforms the land to their benefit, and the Big Bads' ultimate plan is to spread enough fear to allow them to manifest in the human world. Characters can take an Edge (i.e. ability) called Tale Teller that makes them especially good at this.

The Sandman (1989): The importance of storytellers to the world is greatly shown along the series (Neil Gaiman himself is one):
In Tale In the Sand, an old man brings a teenager to an Afrikan desert to tell him the story of Nada, their ancestor, as part of the rite of passage that will turn the boy officially into a man for their tribe.
In the special Sandman Arabian Nights, a storyteller tells a boy about a fantastic, idealistic Bagdah that is completely different from the real city, which is partially destroyed by the Gulf War. He tells about how the calif Harum-al-Rashid feared that, one day, his city would wither away, so he asked Sandman to preserve it as it was then. The storyteller then dismisses the kid, telling him to return the next day - if he'll have more coins. The boy, on his turn, leaves daydreaming about the wonders he just heard and forgets temporarily his empty stomach and his miserable life.
In A Tale of a Thousand Cats, an old cat tells another one how she was disillusioned with her humans after they drowned her kittens, her journey to meet the Sandman, and how he (reluctantly) told her that cats once were superior to humans and that changed after a man told his companions to dreams that they were big and powerful. She tells them that, if a thousand cats will dream they prey on humans as they did in the old days, that will become true again, but only a little kitten takes her seriously.

Varric in Dragon Age II. The Framing Device of the whole game is Cassandra questioning him on the protagonist's time in Kirkwall, and his stories are half the reason the PC becomes a Memetic Badass even before the climax.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Andrew, in Seasons 7 and 8, with him endeavoring to educate the Slayer Potentials. Played for Laughs due to him being a bit of a Cloud Cuckoo Lander at best and suffering the occasional mistake in regards to the show's continuity.

In Tangled, Flynn offhandedly mentions that he used to read to the younger children in the orphanage. The film also opens and closes with narration in the form of Flynn telling the tale of how he and Rapunzel met.

Gerald from Hey Arnold! tells a lot of Urban Legends. In one episode, Curly gets mad because he wants to tell the story of "The Ghost Bride" but everyone else won't let him since it's Gerald's job.

The "Storyteller" sketches at the end of each episode of John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme. Word Of God is that Finnemore's Storyteller started out as a pastiche of an M. R. James ghost story narrator, and specifically Derek Jacobi's audiobook version, before widening out to include "a bit John Buchan, a bit H. G. Wells, and a bit R.L. Stevenson — in fact any of those writers between about 1885 and 1939 who wrote stories in which chaps who only ever refer to one another by their surnames are reluctantly persuaded by other chaps at the club to tell tall stories".

Dr. STONE: Ruri, the priestess of Ishigami Village, has the responsibility of remembering and reciting the "Hundred Stories" compiled by their ancestor Byakuya Ishigami more than 3000 years ago. Many of these include useful information about the natural world, but they also include a mashup of Momotarō and Fist of the North Star.

Magehunter, which is set in a Middle-Eastern-inspired world, has a storyteller named Al-Haddar as a Scheherazade stand-in. Notably, after you're done with a feast, Al-Haddar then narrates an important story to you, which serves as a Metafiction to your adventure.

Rainsong and Moonshade ask him to tell their children how Bearclaw was killed by the monster Madcoil; Cutter says that "he's not a storyteller", but agrees. Leetah, who is eavesdropping, is deeply touched by the terrible things Cutter and his tribe went through, shaking her preconceptions of him.

In Hercules (2014), Iolaus' main role in the group is to spread tales of Hercules' great deeds, though he greatly exaggerates to make Hercules seem like an even bigger badass than he already is. For example, after Hercules defeated a gang of bandits who wear serpent masks, Iolus claimed he defeated a many-headed serpent called the Hydra.
