Who is your personal role model?
The Tellers. All of them. Both as a group and as individuals. They have such an awesome responsibility. See, the Tellers go all over the country gathering stories of the world in the days after the Big Death. Because we have to remember our history. We have to pass that knowledge on to the next generation so they don’t make the same mistakes. No one really knows how many Tellers there are. I don't think even they know. It's probably better that way. What they're doing isn't easy and it's dangerous. These guys are like living books. Modern bards. They memorize the stories and tell them to each other, so if something happens to one of them, the stories can go on. And then, when the time is right, they’ll be here. And their stories, our histories, will be here with them.
