___________________________________

The Cousins: Third Generation

Tender: Daughter of Fleece & Deirdre. One of the Hounds of Mandalay.

Banidoc :Son of Benedict. Long believed to be a shadow of Benedict serving as his second in command. He was recently revealed to be the son of Benedict and the ancient servant of Amber, Dame Margot. In the foundation days of Amber, Margot, a servant of Dworkin and Oberon, handled the food, cleaning and household details of the small cadre of people living in the land that would become Amber. While Dworkin wrestled with the juvenile(Wild) pattern, Oberon, Osric, Finndo, and Benedict explored shadow, made alliances, built buildings and empires and laid the foundations for the city, castle and nation of Amber. Cymnea helped create the court of the fledgling kingdom. In that time Margot traveled occasionally with each of them and during one of these trips she gave birth to Banidoc, and with Benedict, raised him. Banidoc spent a century in shadow then joined Benedict as his second in command, and all were told he was merely a shadow Benedict had come to terms with. He is strong, and seems almost identical to Benedict, except he has a sense of humor. He is a student of Standup comedians, explaining that their way of communication is the most efficient. Do not let his humor distract you. This is Benedict's first son. He had a sword put in his hand before he was out of his mother's womb.

Doria Daughter of Benedict. Also called Lady. Lady of Charm. Captain of the Black Company, Last of the Free Companies of Khatovar. Slender yet strong, lithe and nimble, deadly, Doria stands 5'3" but don't let her height fool you. One glance in her icy blue eyes and you can see that visions of death and terror of the darkest flavor have passed within. She is taciturn, but when she speaks the wise man listens. Warriors recognize a force to be respected. Wizards sense a sorceress to be feared. Madmen know their own. Doria needs no defender on the field of war. Her enemies may.

Maylon :Daughter of Benedict. House Hendrake. This bitter and aggressive woman is one of the powerful creatures of the Hendrake part of Chaos. The vagaries of time relationships has given this woman time to become a mighty warrior, sour on the sword, and indulge in and become an expert in the rough politics of the Courts of Chaos. She has sources in dark corners of Chaos that she dips her claws in at need.

Yalla Daughter of Benedict. A daughter of Benedict, though unknown till just recently. The Ganth family is reeling from this revelation.

Desri: Daughter of Benedict. Also called Soulcatcher, a sorceress, one of the Ten Who Were Taken.

Visaly: Son of Benedict. This son of Benedict was born on Vulsar Base and raised in a technological realm of plenty. And he hated it. Trained as an elite warrior of Amber's Star Fleet, a Total Warrior, he fled after his first walk through the pattern.

Rinaldo: Son of Brand. Also known as Lucas Raynald. A friend of Merlin's on shadow earth and a rival. Currently King of Kashfra, much to his own surprise. His mother Jasra is an ex-chaosian Handmaiden of Hendrake. A strange set of circumstances has created a nearly identical duplicate of Rinaldo was created. This duplicate, called Luke, is a servent of Corwin's in Avalon.

Truman: Son of Gerard. Truman looks like a twenty something overgrown street punk. His look tends to be very Rockabilly with pompadour and tattoos of women on both arms. He tends to wear a lot of sleeveless bowling shirts and the like. He sounds somewhat like Elvis when he talks. He comes off as generally likable but reserved (unless on stage). He is known to party a lot and is rarely seen with out a gorgeous woman on his arm. Raised secretly in a distant shadow by Gerard he has a strong sense of honor and fair play, one of the few times he is known to go off and kick people's ass is when he catches someone bullying or intimidating others. That is when folk see his wrath. People might dislike his cockiness and flip attitude. But this is a son of Gerard, and that is the bloodline of strength.

Ghost: Son of Deirdre & the Serpent. One of the Hounds of Mandalay.

Geryon: Son of Deirdre. Geryon stands just over six feet tall and weighs in at 220 pounds. His loose red hair flows down across his shoulders like a bloody mane and his crystal blue eyes sparkle in a face that could have been carved from stone. He is usually found in his personal colors: blue, black and silver. Though his attire changes style from time to time, he always has his black thigh high boots on his feet, and a short curved two-handed sword on his hip.

Houk: Son of Sand & Adrian. Amber has had many a serious player at the game of diplomacy. Many forces of change have come to the shores of Amber and gone down in defeat. Now comes the Ambassador of Mandalay; Houk, Son of Adrian. What has Amber come to? Houk, is a Hooka. Fierce at 3'9". Short tempered but patient. Talkative, inquisitive, intuitive, and dedicated. Difficult. Furry. A teddy with a wicked blade.

Dapper in his Brooks Brothers suit, London Fog coat, and silk top hat. His jeweled walking stick is the golden wood of Ygg, with a knocker of gold sheeting over a purple stone, that glows with power. It bears the face of an elderly man, who sometimes speaks. A mage would see the inscribed sigil on the wood that denotes a weapon bearing the Mark of Mandalay. Adrian wants his ambassador taken seriously. Houk wants his words considered carefully. Dworkin wonders what Adrian was thinking. In the vastness of lands are many races and Amberites skilled in shapechange frequently shift amongst them. In a far past both Sand and Delwin traveled with Adrian, unbeknownst to them, an Amberite himself. In a realm called Hooka they found a lovable race of creative, imitative, impressionable creatures called hookas.

This race had little culture of their own but had at some point been the recipient of a library of books, and in their racial love of drama, assumed in turn the trappings of the cultures, idioms, and even the fashions of the storied, fictional realms contained in these books. In their imitative obsession a culture rose from a double thousand different fictional realms, from a dozen different worlds. In shadow, everything is possible. In this world, 3' to 4' teddy bears live as if they were cowboys, spacemen, dwarves, elves, private eyes, dancehall girls, vikings, crusaders, nadsats, canibers, and more different fashions than can be believed.

In this form, immersed to the point of forgetfulness, Adrian and Sand produced Houk and much to their eventual surprise, despite being able to take other physical forms, he chose to remain a hooka.

Nadine: Daughter of Sand. Joy in a Semite gown. Happiness on two long legs. This is the Earth goddess walking. A noble in Mandalay and the nicest person in all shadow. She would be overly sweet if it was not for her obvious sincerity. 5'6", 120 lb., robust & hardy, with a dancer's grace and an angel's voice, frequently raised in song. Blond and large breasted, wise, funny, loving, and profound. Small animals devotedly follow her and the nastiest hellcats out of chaos curl up at her feet and purr, bellies exposed. It must be true, everything exists in shadow, even a nice Amberite. Yet...do not let this make you forget; she is Sand's daughter, Oberon's granddaughter, and Dworkin's Great granddaughter, with all that implies. Only Flora seems threatened. And not convinced.

Carlos: Son of Jaques

Rene: Son of Corwin & Moire. Born in Rebma soon after Corwin's return from shadow at the start of the Patternfall War. Raised largely in the seclusion of the Court of Rebma, never openly acknowledged as either Moire's son, nor as Corwin's son. In the 40's year of Random's reign he came to Amber as the Ambassador of Rebma to Amber, and revealed his parentage much to the shock of all.

Merlin. Son of Corwin & Dara. The Corwin Chronicles found throughout shadow were narrated to Merlin on the edge of the Abyss after Amber's victory in the Patternfall War. After Patternfall Merlin became a frequent presence in Amber and his loyalty is a delicate issue between Amber and Chaos.

Duncan. Son of Julian

Galvar. Son of Osric King Random's Personal Bodyguard

Nicholas. Son of Bleys

Derek. Son of Eric

Zachary. Son of Florimel. This impresario is the leader of a magnificent circus.

Elayne. Daughter of Florimel

Lark Harooon. Son of Caine. Lark is a enigma and a creature of mystery even in the courts of Amber. A son of Caine raised in realms of great intrigue, a spy, a master spy, and assassin, highwayman and conman.

Hiroaki. Son of Borlak

Vance, son of Delwin. "Will he? nill He? the child of whimsy" Vance is a child of Delwin who abandoned his father at the age of 22. He manged to walk the pattern and flee into shadow. In shadow he found many way to keep busy, including centuries of baseball, warfare and spycraft. He is a friendly man, open and excited.

Emma. Daughter of Fiona Marke. Son of Fiona. A son of Fiona and a great lord of the House of Beor. An Ally of the Noldor of Beleriend.

Grace. Daughter of Evelyn

Red Cloud. Son of Josef

Martin. Son of Random. The son of Random and Morganthe of Rebma, Moire's eldest child. She fell deeply in love with the romantic Prince of Amber. They fled together into shadow. Soon she returned to Rebma with a son, and without a Prince. She soon after committed suicide. Martin was raised in Rebma, known but not often spoken about in Amber. In time he took the pattern, trained with Benedict, and traveled shadow. When he was contacted by Brand, and stabbed, bleeding on to the pattern the Patternfall war had its basis in the damage of the pattern.

Warrick. Son of Corwin and Coral

Kenshin. Son of Adrian

Arloxdra. Son of Eric Arlo is a nearly constant resident of the Library of Amber. Holding no official role in the running of the Library he is still almost always there. He can usually be found sleeping in one of the chairs or couches. His world of origin is unknown but his references suggest an Earth/Urth/Earuth/Aerth World. He writes copious editorials on works from the libraries that he mostly picks at random. He is meticulously clean, despite having piles of books near where he sleeps and writing material spread over some table nearby. When asked he admits that he has rooms upstairs someplace but he can't concentrate there.
