The Speaker

Description

The speaker is a mysterious entity that is never directly seen in game but heard from. Kord has stated that he does not 'have knowledge of the advisor.' or want to help the player, Nor hurt them.

The speaker is stated by Kord_K to be the "govenor" of the backrooms, attempting to prevent the player from going too deep.

It is likely that he resides in the Speaker's Place due to the name, His appearance is that of the 'Beat Up Super Jank Boombox' gear and speaks in SAM's TTS. The radio is likely not the speaker himself.

He is seen 7 times, First time in Finale, second time in the Worst Ending, the third time in Paracusia, fourth time in True Ending, fifth time in Eternal Lounge, sixth time in A Cosy, Warm Place and Finish Zone.

Stage	Transcript	Notes
Finale	So it would seem that you have discovered a way out. But if your reality is locked to just these backrooms then you can't find a way out. So I am not sure what you have done. I do not know where you are. Perhaps in the deepest parts of your own mind. Perhaps somewhere else. Perhaps floating in the ether. But I do not know, for all I know is all you know. You may stay here forever or leave. But can you ever truly leave? Perhaps I have read so much into this phenomena that I am beginning to experience it myself. I shall stop speaking before that happens. Nonetheless it took you an exorbitant amount of time to truly escape. Perhaps you're the only one. I do not know. I only know what you know. But what do you seek? I do not know. I only know what you know. And what I know is this. You'll always lack something.	Whilst this transcript is playing, final_song_01.mp3 is playing in the background. Removed as of the Renovations 4/4 Update.
those_who	Good evening, my dear colleague. The fact that you are receiving this message means that you were able to reach further. I applaud you of your efforts, and yet warn you of the future. I will be in contact with you again shortly. You will understand then. Until then, remember that the shadows which speak mistruths are not to be trusted. There's only so much you can do. Await my word. [Corrupted] There's only so much you can do.	At the end of the transition, a short jingle (played on an out-of-tune piano) plays.
True Ending	IT RAINS IT ALWAYS RAINS HERE. LIKE PROPERTIES OF ALL PLACES HERE, THIS IS ILLOGICAL. ONWARDS IS NO TRUE EXIT. THERE IS NO WAY TO SEE THE TRUE LIGHT OF DAY. BUT I FIND COMFORT IN THE FACT THAT THIS PLACE IS SAFE. NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO FROM NOW ON, OR WHAT YOU THINK, STILL DOWN, COMES THE RAIN. THE TRUTH IS ONLY WHAT WE PERCEIVE IT AS. ... IT'S NOT REAL, NOTHING I CAN OFFER YOU IS REAL, BUT I HOPE IT MADE YOU HAPPY.	The speaker in this stage does not have a voice, instead having a transcript used in conjunction with robot "BEEP" noises due to the fact when Kord_K attempted to upload an actual monologue, he was banned for "uploading distorted audio."
Paracusia	NOTHINGNESS. THAT'S ALL THERE IS HERE ONLY A FOOL WOULD BELIEVE ANYTHING CAN BE INFINITE EVERYTHING RUINS ITS COURSE NOTHING LASTS FOREVER I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT ELSE YOU EXPECT TO SEE HERE WERE YOU NOT WARNED ENOUGH? DIDN'T YOU THINK TO STOP AND JUST TURN AROUND? EVEN IF YOU CAN'T LEAVE THERE ARE BETTER PLACES THAN THIS YOU POSSESS CERTAIN ABILITIES NOW WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO USE THEM IN A SENSE, YOU CAN TURN BACK TIME YOU CAN CHANGE HOW THINGS HAVE GONE NOT EVERYONE HAS THAT LUXURY AND DON'T TAKE THEM FOR GRANTED YOU NEVER KNOW JUST WHEN YOU MIGHT LOSE THEM I'M SURE THIS ISN'T OUR LAST MEETING BUT WHO KNOWS HOW LONG IT'LL BE UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN AT ONE POINT IN TIME, EVERYTHING DIDN'T EXIST IN THE FUTURE, IT'LL RETURN TO THAT STATE JUST LIKE HERE
Eternal Lounge (Only before teleport to Bitter Frosts Ending)	BACK HERE AGAIN? IT IS MOST DELIGHTFUL TO SEE YOU ONCE MORE MY FRIEND. YOU HAVE PROVEN, TIME AND TIME AGAIN, THAT EVEN THE MOST CHALLENGING OF TASKS CAN BE DONE EVEN WHEN THERE IS NO OBVIOUS END IN SIGHT EVEN WHEN THERE IS NO OBVIOUS REWARD ... THOUGH IT HAS BEEN TOO COLD HERE, FOR TOO LONG, AND IT HAS ONLY BEEN GETTING DARKER, AND COLDER, ALMOST FREEZING AND LIKE A LEAF THAT HAS FALLEN INTO A RIVER, WE HAVE CONSTANTLY BEEN THROWN AROUND, SUBJECTED TO FORCES BEYOND OUR CONTROL. ... BUT NO COLD SPELL IS ENDLESS NO ROOMS STRETCH INFINITELY AND, NO PAIR OF BATTERIES LAST FOREVER. PERHAPS WITH THE POWER THOSE BATTERIES HAVE LEFT, I COULD GIVE YOU SOMETHING, THAT I COULD NOT HAVE MYSELF. ... PERHAPS IT'S TIME TO BRING AN END, TO THESE BITTER FROSTS	Just like in the True Ending, the speaker in this stage does not have a voice, instead having a transcript used in conjunction with robot "BEEP" noises.
