"I turned the next card and frowned. This card was well thumbed, even by the standards of this worn out deck, which I had borrowed without permission, by the way. The woman who looked back was unsmiling and her eyes flashed angrily and the colour of emeralds. Myself, caught in a rare pose - without weapons. Hazard, my name. My sword was Dirithas, when I had it, and my horse Bucephelon. Once, I paid homage to no man. Now, as King of Amber, newly crowned, I had enemies to buy off. Homage sucks.
Hazard, despite being female, is King in Amber. You never know what you will get with her, but often it includes her being further ahead than you are. She is the daughter of Coral, missing, and Rinaldo, now deceased. Hazard was crowned in a secret ceremony, and few of the family found out until it was too late. She has the support of Julian and Benedict, and has Corwin and Eric trying to take the throne from her.
Grand-daughter of Brand, and also of his father Oberon, the somewhat inbred blood of Amber runs strong in Hazard. She is utterly devoted to the safety of Amber, and relaxes in the company of Benedict, mainly because she can annoy him so easily. Even the grim Lord Protector of Amber has fallen for her, and he nearly paid the ultimate price, put on trial by Rinaldo I for treason. For many years, Hazard was Benedict's ward, and she has always been his most promising pupil.
She "met her death" a few years ago, protecting one of her cousins from inimnent death. No body was ever found, but then, the fire did burn down a quarter of Arden forest, which extends right to the Arden on Earth and further. Hazard 'died' one more time, recently, and was brought back from the grey lands by Morgan and Raine, now dead or disappeared.
Her last words were probably "Of course I'll bloody be alright, I'm Hazard. Now fly, you fool." Hazard is reported to have enjoyed her own funeral.
I give Hazard the highest accolade. You can trust her like a brother, which is to say, not at all.
Her curse, given by Crowley: "I give you your fate. You shall be killed by the one who loves you most." Every member of the family was given a curse, but Hazard's is bad, because she can see it coming. She is thought to be well up on the goings on in Tir.
