The Mute Chef

Image

 

…The pleasures of speech and sound had long abandoned him…

His face was bland, a leather bag of forgettable features. His eyelids drooped so low that it was a shock to learn that he wasn’t blind as well. His lips pouted and sagged from years of disuse and his globe of a nose, the only distinguishable protuberance, jutted prominently.


 

Although being one of the more obscure characters of Tenebrae Manor, the Mute Chef has proven to be somewhat of a fan favourite among readers. Perhaps it is his plight that touches the hearts of fans; the poor elderly man is both deaf and mute, and is a slave to his job like so many of us. But he is a man of perfection who takes immense pride in his vocation, to such extent that it would seem that he enjoys his quiet life in the dank kitchens of the manor.
