9.) The Waiter (we decided to leave this character out)

-Similar mannerisms as the conductor but sounds more put together and smart

-part of a hive mind that is controlling the conductor and tries to take control of everybody starting with the daughter, the Widow, then the soldier, making them act like the conductor (creepy constant smiling offputting cadence). When he takes the soldier the soldier will end up killing one of the timelooped characters (unused plot)
