Attendant

efficient calm under pressure oblivious reactive obedient ministerial dutiful courteous discreet
The Attendant is a perennially dutiful figure serving in various roles across time and space, bound by obedience to those in power. He is first encountered as a palace servant in Nero's Rome, taking orders from Poppaea and Locusta to deliver poisoned goblets, caught in the deadly intrigues of the imperial court. Centuries later, he works at Madame Tussauds wax museum in London, politely assisting visitors and closing up the exhibits, entirely unaware that the replicas conceal a Nestene infiltration. In the far future, he is a flight attendant aboard the Empress Starliner, maintaining calm professionalism during an emergency voyage. Across all these incarnations, the Attendant remains a discrete, efficient executor of his duties, never questioning the nature of the tasks or the circumstances around him. His lasting significance lies in being a constant, unremarkable presence in extraordinary events, a cog in operations far beyond his understanding.
