Description

Jewel

F / 52

Jewel is a beautiful youngish girl with green hair and green eyes. She is the simple daughter of Llewella and a man by the name of Swayle who is now believed to be dead. Jewel's mind seems to be segmented in a strange way and she often finds simple concepts hard to fathom. She was given into Dworkin's care after Llewella confessed to having a daughter after Patternfall as he seemed to understand her best. She escaped from his care six months ago and is believed to have walked the pattern. It is not known what has become of her since.

Valmonde

M / ?

Valmonde is a strong swordsman with a dark complexion and black hair with dark brown eyes. That Valmonde is an Amberite is certain as he has successfully walked the pattern since arriving in Amber. He has remained silent about his parentage and none of the elder Amberites has admitted that he is their son. Valmonde has not made many friends around Amber as he has a gruff attitude that has upset even the affable Flora. Many believe that King Random appointed him as Ambassidor of Synys to get him out of Castle Amber.

Hagen Fontaine

M / 53

Leader of the rebels on Karvesh seeking to gain independence for their Shadow from Eregnor and Begma. He has been imprisoned in jail in Karvesh for the past ten years and is not believed to have any power except that of clear thinking. He rarely gives audience to outsiders and may be a little out of touch with what is currently happening on Karvesh.

Prime Minister Caruso

 M / 51

Prime Minister Caruso is a negotiator who got to power in Eregnor by forming a coalition of interests in the Shadow. That coalition is coming under threat as a logging corporation who own a large operation in Karvesh are nervous about the revolution there. Caruso has been forced into a more aggressive stance and he is struggling to keep all the members of the coalition happy. He is looking weak as a leader as he tries to negotiate a settlement to the problem rather than take the direct action that many others in the country seem to think is neccessary.

Prince Clayvar of Eregnor

 M / 33

Prince Clayvar is the bastard son of King Gustav who is now in a coma and is nearing death. The King has not made it clear whom he wants to suceed him, and Prince Clayvar (as Gustav's eldest son claims the right to the throne even though he is a bastard. His claim is not well supported amongst the nobility, but has popular support amongst the peasantry. He is a man of the people who has toured the Shadow extensively try to gain support and his demand for action to get Karvesh back appeals to national pride.

Princess Xala of Eregnor

 F / 30

Princess Xala is the oldest legitimate child of King Gustav. There has been no precedent in the royal line for women to rule if there is a younger male heir, however the precent is well established amongst the nobility. As such the nobility have largely dismissed Xala, but King Gustav's senior advisors all indicate that they would prefer her as Queen in Begma. Xala is the least keen of the candidates to go to war, but has made several statements recently indicating that she feels Begma should reclaim its sovereign territory. Xala spends much of her time at the old King's deathbed at present.

Prince Daffyd of Eregnor

 M / 27

Prince Daffyd is the eldest legitimate son of King Gustav and he is popular amongst the nobility. He is charming and has loves hunting and the other noble pursuits. He has responded to Prince Clayvar's call for war with a call of his own and he has started a campaign of persuasion on the council of electers. Prince Daffyd is somewhat vain and has a number of hangers on in his entourage lining up for position once their favourite becomes King.
