About The Characters: Meet The Minor Players In “The Wall Of Night” Series — Meet Mykon Ambard
The About The Characters post series focuses on the minor characters in The Wall Of Night series, in large part because:
“I think it’s the presence of the smaller characters that “makes” a story, creating texture around the main points of view.”
~ from my Legend Award Finalist’s Interview, 2013
Initially, the series focused exclusively on characters from The Heir of Night, but now I’m continuing on with minor characters from both The Gathering Of The Lost and Daughter of Blood — in alphabetical order, by name, of course!
Currently we’re still traversing the letter “M”, but I’m “pretty sure” this is the penultimate entry. 😀

Mykon Ambard: envoy from the Assassin’s Guild to the Conclave of Ij, on the River; nephew to the prince of the House of Ilvaine
“What does it matter what some commander or other does on the Derai Wall?” Mykon Ambard demanded. “We have more than enough to concern us here in Ij.”
“Especially this morning,” murmured the prince. “But still—a Master must know something of the world around him.”
Mykon Ambard looked as though he would like to argue, but before he could speak, Leto Ilvaine dashed up on a fine dun courser. “The column is ready for you to join it, my prince.”
