Back to the Rivers of Belief - Engima |
The enigmatic owner of Euterpe's
Coffee House, Ambrose is a bit of an oddity even among
New Londoners. As pale as glass, and, as far as anyone
can tall, completely mute, Ambrose does his best to
foster the small spark of genuine inspiration that
flickers in the smoky darkness of the Louisiana marshes.
Ambrose spends almost every minute of the day and
evening in his café, serving coffee and listening
to the poetry recitals and experimental musicians
that perform there. Most of the citizens of New London
have no idea where he comes from or where he made
the money he uses to sponsor the few artists that
completely capture his heart, and, being mute, he
doesn't yield particularly easily to questioning.
However, certain circles of Eldritch in the city know
exactly what he is; a Gargoyle who's simulacrum has
been carved from flawless ivory, painted, and coated
in candle-wax so that he can pass for something almost
human.
It's thought that he originated somewhere in the Middle
East, and made his name around the time of the Hundred
Years War, where he forged a close relationship with
Benoît Lescarde, a Quester whom even today is
his closest friend and ally. It is rumoured that he
may even have been around in the time of Byzantium,
but no one seems to know for sure. All that is known
is that he conforms to strict Catholic ritualism in
his sin-eating, and that he spends his years fostering
artistic talent to bring a little pleasure into his
otherwise numb existence filled only by the Void .
. .
Ambrose is slight and of diminutive
height, standing no more than 5ft 6". His skin
is alabaster white, flushed with delicate tea-rose
pink across his cheeks and lips. His eyes are the
colour of polished topaz, and his hair is a shower
of bleached moonlight that falls like a stream of
spun-silver to his shoulders.
