The Echo of the Amiable is an artifact that was released from within the Traveler following the destruction of the Witness. Like the other Echoes, it is believed to be a memory or psychic imprint of a species that was conquered and destroyed by the Witness and its Black Fleet, preserved in the Darkness and made manifest through the Light. In the case of the Echo of Influence, it was forged from the memory of Tivon, a member of the Quassin species who got caught in the Hive-Ecumene war.

It was discovered by Xal Tinar aboard a derelict Pyramid ship and used by him, Ir Vothec and Troksrii during the Created Crusade. Xal Tinar's piece would eventually be contained in a secure Vanguard site by the Hidden following his defeat by the Guardian.

Description

The Echo takes the form of a tongue, which appears to be a mix between a deep-sea fish and a human, that glows pink with infused Prismatic energy.

It grants the user the ability to link with and alter the mind of an individual to make them more willing to follow the wishes of whoever wields the Echo. It would be used by Xal Tinar and his followers to gather a large following, utilising the Echo's power to bring the leaderless forces of the Witness under their control and compelling others into either servitude or conversion. Even paracausal individuals like Ascendant Hive and Guardians are not immune to it, though they are able to fight it somewhat and even resist it if they are stronger than the owner's power.

Following their recruitment, both Ir Vothec and Troksrii would be given portions of the Echo for them to use. The former would wear her piece as a necklace, while the latter would chain his piece to his helmet. Xal Tinar himself would have his piece of the Echo in place of the Amysthyst implants in his forehead.
