The '''The Watcher''' is the identity assumed by the player in ''[[The Sims Medieval]]''. It is stated in the game's opening trailer that Thethe Watcher once looked after a previous civilization that went extinct due to the stupidity of its people.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_TtquT2wKs</ref> Starting anew, Thethe Watcher resolved to not simplesimply watch his/her followers, but guide them in the proper direction. To do this, Thethe Watcher would use exceptional men and women ([[Hero Sims]]) whomewhom everyone was sure to follow.

In game, Thethe Watcher acts as the primary dietydeity worshiped by all Sims. The symbol of the Watcher is an eye (identical to the eye used to denote religious nations in the game Spore). There are two different churches in the game, and each has it'sits own opinion about Thethe Watcher. The Peteran church belivesbelieves that Thethe Watcher is a loving and forgiving god, while the Jacoban church belivesbelieves that Thethe Watcher is a vengeful and merciless god.

The eye is also depicted as a constellation in certain quests, reinforcing the idea of there being someone (yourself) looking down on them from above. The "Watcher's Eye" camera viewpoint anchors your view above the center of town, where you can easily rotate to find all the buildings and areas.[[VideoFile:The Sims Medieval - Patrick Stewart Introduces a New Sims Cutscene (PC)|thumb|300px|right|Patrick Stewart explains yourthe player's role as Thethe Watcher.]]
