'''Truth-Is-Waiting''', also called '''Truth''', serves as a staff sergeant in the [[Night Brigade]] under the command of the [[Admiral]].{{book ref|tsm|epilogue}}
 
==Appearance and Personality==
He typically walks with military discipline but can readily disguise his background by altering his mannerisms.{{book ref|tsm|epilogue}}
 
Truth-Is-Waiting displays a coldness and flagrant disregard of the suffering of others. Though he seems to consider it wrong to bring destruction upon the people if [[Canticle]] simply for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, especially given their shared [[Threnodite]] heritage, it is not a strongly held belief. However, he finds the prospect of interrogating the more technologically advanced [[Scadrian]]s particularly pleasurable.{{book ref|tsm|epilogue}}
 
==History==
Truth-Is-Waiting arrives in the Canticle system flying in low orbit on the Night Brigade's warship.{{book ref|tsm|26}} He, along with the Admiral and several other members of the Night Brigade --including at least two [[shade]]s-- descend onto the planet to gather information about [[Nomad]]'s whereabouts.{{book ref|tsm|epilogue}}
 
At their first encountered settlement, Truth-Is-Waiting commandeers a ship and uses it to pose as a person from a town in another [[Canticle#Cities and Ships|corridor]] who has come seeking explanations.{{book ref|tsm|epilogue}}
 
Approximately one day after Nomad [[Sigzil#Skipping|Skips]] off the planet, Truth-Is-Waiting confers with the people of one of the planet's floating cities (likely [[Union]]) and learns from them of Nomad's apparent death in a fight with the [[Cinder King]] and of the Scadrian [[Scadrian research facility|research facility]] stationed below the planet's surface.{{book ref|tsm|epilogue}}
 
Truth-Is-Waiting returns to the stolen ship, walking with a slouch so as to not draw undue attention from his usual military discipline, and reports what he learned to the Admiral.{{book ref|tsm|epilogue}}
 
==Relationships==
===Admiral===
Truth-Is-Waiting serves under the Admiral of the Night Brigade and reports to her directly. He has insight into the kinds of information that she might find particularly pleasing or frustrating and is at least a little bit fearful of her anger.{{book ref|tsm|epilogue}}
 
==Notes==
His name suggests that he is possibly from a [[Threnodite]] (offshoot) culture.
