Background & Description: Ambrosius is a young nobleman who was unwillingly turned into a vampire two hundred years ago. Since then, he has worked as a kind of travel writer on a permanent vacation into the future. He sleeps for a decade or so in a cozy little apartment underneath a Raven Queen temple, and then wakes up and spends a year writing about how everything has changed. He's permanently cheerful, upbeat, and unassuming, and it's easy to forget that he can tear the face clean off an orc with his bare hands. XCrawl didn't exist when he went to sleep last, and gonzo journalism is the only way to properly understand it.

Ambrosius appears to be a slight, pale young man in his early twenties. His clothes tend to be in various shades of black and selected for their ability to protect him from the sun. So, he usually has on a hood or broad-brimmed hat, sunglasses of some kind, leather gloves, a frock coat, etc. He's also disturbingly fond of glitter.
