The praise singer. i find him to be an interesting chracter (still in act 1). The praise singer, is a griot..i think.
Griot- a member of a hereditary caste among the peoples of western Africa whose function is to keep an oral history of the tribe or village and to entertain with stories, poems, songs, dances, etc.
They are given to a nobel, or someone with high standers in society; like Elesin. It's is then the griot's job to note every herioic deed of his master; and praise hi til the day that either one of them passes. Teh prasie singer has all of the characterisits of a griot. He is always with Elesin; and reminding him of how great he is. He knows all of his history, and never once leaves his side. They enjoy life together; not just as a griot and his master, but as friends.
Wish me luck world,
Hayley Michelle
