A jester dated back to early egypt. The jester was later adapted in european courts. The jester was allowed to go anywhere within the kingdom including the bedroom of the king, they walk a thin line between chaos and order one foot into each side of philosophy, and third they always told the truth as they say it, this resulted in one beheading of a jester in the french court.
Since the jester told tales to entertain the court hince the start of bards, traveling performers and such.
Harloquines were the french version and since they would not be allowed to speak at times or where mute either by force (tongue cut out) so that they could not give away court secrets they develope into the current day mines.
