Overview

Son of Caine | Looks Late 20s (played by Fred)

Ambrose came to Amber when he was six and it was clear he harbored resentment toward his father. The boy shirked his responsibilities, offended his tutors, skipped classes, and disregarded social protocols, but seemed to be on top of everything, despite such behavior. As a teenager, Ambrose developed quite a reputation as a cruel individual, playing games with the nobles that "infested" Amber's court. This social manipulation was another aspect of Ambrose's gift for strategy, a talent honed by dedicated study under Benedict.

When he was 18, Ambrose walked the Pattern and went straight to Shadow, the first of many trips. He spends more time there than in Amber and is not known to be especially warm to his family, with rare exceptions. Ambrose dresses in black and seldom smiles; when he does, it's usually laced with sarcasm, his preferred method of interaction. Mostly, though, he prefers to keep quiet and listen, only offering input when he deems appropriate. Rumors say that, despite his caustic and taciturn demeanor, Ambrose is actually a sensitive man, who hides a kind, just and loving soul. This has never been proved, though.

Publicly Known Incidents

While in a Shadow described by Nicholas as a “cyberpunk Miami on acid and with magic”, Ambrose bumped into Ryan and spent a few days accompanying him to the party scene - to investigate the local customs, of course. He found Ryan had a certain sensitivity to magic-users, as he was able to spot a witch that escaped Ambrose’s notice.
