Other Recurring Characters
(and horses)

Here's a list and brief description of a bunch of the recurring characters that don't appear on the main page. (Not to be confused with the players characters.) I'm still working on this. It flip-flops a lot between snide comments and actual information. No guarantees are expresed or implied about spelling.

Aaron

Calm, cool compatriot (son?) of Finndo's. When Aaron came to arrest Nikrowd and Mikele in the Pattern room, accompanied by a half dozen guards with arrows, Nikrowd attempted to divert him by pointing out that Mikele had the Logrus called to mind and if she should be shot and it came flashing through... well, that would be bad. Aaron pulled a pair of sunglasses out of his pocket and donned them.

Ann

Felicia's maid, a present from her mother. Don't get into a fight with her.

Armand Hendrake

The Duke of Hendrake

the Beavers

These six foot tall sentient beavers named Reksark and ?? are friends of Katarina's. They were kidnapped by Liesl in attempt to coerce Katarina into doing what he and Corwin wanted. Katarina's reaction was to kill him instead. She's been looking for those beavers ever since.

Belissa Minobee Hendrake

The Duchess of Hendrake

Callidora

Felicia's pet baby fire-angel. If this sounds like a recipe for disaster to you, you are not alone. She currently looks like a bright red kitten with wings, and speaks in a code of her own devising, which is still only poorly understood. (Picture coutresy of Meilin.)

Cannell Swayhill

Former Crown Prince of Chaos and general all around great guy. He was off sulking, because no one would let him take the throne of Chaos, but then someone killed him so he's not doing that any more.

Charon

A very old redheaded aquaintance of Nikrowd's. Oberon locked him up 800 years ago, and a couple weeks ago, Nikrowd let him go. He's responsible for the dead manticore that got left in Dworkin's living room.

Chinaway Hendrake

Cousin of Mikele's, he's quite possibly the best hand to hand fighter in Chaos. (Imagine a ferocious Gerard, with more warfare and shapeshift.) In the Patterfall war, he engaged in one-on-one combat, on foot, with a mounted Prince Bleys of Amber; Bleys is reported to have fled after Chinaway (slightly injured at that point) tore Bleys' horse's head off. After being mind controlled by Torquil at Elaine's coronation, Chinaway has vowed to find Torquil and rip him limb from limb.

Devan Chanicutt

The Duke of Chanicutt

Dolshenib

The guy in the black robe with the spikard was surprised to see him again, especially in the company of the Blasphemer. We know him better as Nikrowd.

Derrista

Felicia's mother and Caine's wife, she's feeling like a whole new woman these days, so she's moving to Amber with Caine.

Dorian Noli

Favorite Inquisitor for the late Emperor of Chaos, who recently has been showing a lot of interest in Torquil.

Elaine Swayhill

Canell's twin sister, and now Empress of Chaos. She recovered from the rather nasty knife wound, delivered by Martin at her coronation and was able to proceed with her war to destroy Amber. Well, until Felicia blew her up in the middle of the climatic battle.

Evan Jesby

New husband of Gilva. Their wedding was, ah, memorable.

Evander Minobee

Desparate to get on the throne of Chaos, he tried to marry Felicia in order to spring board himself there.

Gilva Hendrake Jesby

A cousin of Mikele's, recently married to Evan Jesby.

Greyson Sawall

The Duke of Sawall

Helena Minobee

Evander's sister and a competant sorcerous.

Horse

Nikrowd's horse, whose name was inspired by Keverian's mount Steed. Just a horse.

Illidor

Mikele's little Chaos creature who warns her of danger and generally make sure she's clear on how stupid she she's being, especially when she hangs around all this Pattern stuff. There's some friction between Callidora and Illidor, perhaps owing to to Felicia's giving so a similar name to (in Illidor's opinion) a clearly less intelligent creature. (Picture coutresy of Meilin.)

Joakim Minobee

The Duke of Minobee, uncle to Evander

Liesl

Descendent of Corwin of Avalon (also known as "Ur-Corwin") who had the misfortune of being the one sent to deal with Katarina. Katarina objected to the unchivalrous use of poison and challenged Liesl to a duel, and made the mistake of letting word get out. Lots of uninvited people showed up; the whole thing was a wash. Worse for Liesl, Katarina was still at least mad at him, so when he kidnapped her beaver friends, she killed him. Oops.

Marcus

We have no idea, but his dog sure has a lot of psyche.

Marris Bariman

Felicia's second attempt to date someone from Chaos. He turned out not to be a step up.

Mary

No, not Felicia, though she looks just like her. As far as we can tell, she's part dryad, part blood copy of Felicia, part something else (Pattern?). In her first appearance, attempted to drop a load of manure of Torquil. ("Hello, Torquil." "Hello." "Two syllables and not a lie in them, I'm impressed." [dump])

Morgaine Chanicutt

Merlin's (former) girlfriend. Does anybody else find this a little worrisome?

Nicola Noli

Little Miss Trouble in training.

Phaedron

The Black knight, grandson of Corwin of Avalon. In his first appearance, he knocked Keverian, and then Mikele, flat. He was eventually captured by Katarina and Keverian (at the duel gone arwy) and then interrogated (psychically) by Felicia and Dalamar. Big mistake. Someone did not appreciate being mind reamed. He escaped and he's been hounding Felicia ever since. Who knows what he'll do when he catches up with Dalamar.

Philip

A noble from the Golden Circle country of Demion. He's been seen with Katarina a lot lately.

Reynard (Renald Volra)

He claims to be the son of Brand and a noblewoman of Chaos. That might even be true. We first encountered him in his stronghold of Mortivan. (This is the same adventure during which we "lost" Benedict.) Deirdre claimed to have been held prisoner there, and Reena was still prisoner there when we arrived. Mortivan is a fascinating place, with something that looks like an inverted Pattern in its basement. Mikele and Lucis Minax killed one of Reynard's friends there, and he's sworn a vendetta against them both for it.

Reena

Keverian's first dangerous blond girlfriend. (Well, she isn't a natural blond, and Felicia thinks she's tacky...) She's been in league with Corwin at one point, but it's not clear that hasn't broken down. Last anyone saw of her was at Mikele and Martin's wedding reception. She was Torquil's date.

Sira

Queen of the Hellmaids and mother to be of Valeria. One of Keverian's dangerous blond girlfriends.

Steadfast

Katarina's faithful horse, who could certainly defeat Torquil in single combat, if not several of the rest of us as well. Steadfast (or Surefoot, the name doesn't translate well into Thari) is the offspring of Morganstern and King Arthur's horse (from Katarina's home shadow) and is perhaps the second most frightening horse in existance.

Steed

Keverian's chestnut brown winged horse.

Vialle

Wife of Random and Queen of Amber, a job she takes very seriously. She was in a coma for a while, after doing something to get Random out of a similar state immediately after giving birth to their daughter, but she's recovering now.

Victoria

Inadvertent instigator of the motorcycle chase at Martin's bachelor party.

Zeran

Torquil's loyal killing machines. Imagine, if you can, (if not, see picture) a ten-foot tall headless rag-clad samurai wearing a sombrero with tassles all around the brim. The face is about an inch tall, situated in the front center of the sombrero-head, and snakes out on a tentacle occasionally. On top of that, they reek of Pattern and sorcery.
