Narcissus

Narcissus is a nymph working in Dionysus' employ.

Description
Narcissus is extremely handsome, with 'artfully arranged features'. He has blonde hair and a straight nose. His hairstyle changes; when Orpheus first met him, he had an undercut and curly hair, but during the events of the fiction he wears it straight and slicked back in order to cover the back of his neck.

History
Not much is known about his history before he meets Orpheus, nine years before the events of the album. At the time, they are both nymphs in Dionysus' employ. They strike up a fast friendship and become very close. Two years later, a girl in love with Narcissus, Echo, breaks up with him, breaking his mirror in the process. This causes Narcissus to become incredibly superstitious and paranoid. This isn't helped by the fact that five years after that, he is kidnapped by a group of people attempting to kill him and turn his body into a Somnambulist (a non-sentient dead body whose brain is replaced by code to transform it into a servant). Due to his mental illness, his brain would introduce bugs into the Acheron, and so after the events of Orpheus and Narcissus go to the Seaside, he is taken away to Medea Asylum, a hellish 'mental institute' where he will be kept alive in perpetuity.

Trivia
