Biography

Can be any form of entertainer, e.g. a minstrel or resident troubadour. These people have no official power, but do have the king's ear, and can often speak freely under the guise of silliness. Usually either pure comic relief or a power behind the throne and frequently turns to be wiser or, in some cases, more dangerous that they seem at first. In more modern ages jesters were replaced by other entertainers such as royal composers, poets laureate etc. Sometimes the jester is secretly also something else, for example a court wizard or spymaster (like Zorn and Thorn of Final Fantasy IX fame).
