"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. I payed homage to nobody. Except my father. After all, when you expect to inherit Amber, it's right to suck up a little. And Benedict could make me pay homage to him, too, by sheer force of stares, whenever I tried to pull rank. He just reminds me I am only a General and he is Lord Protector. And mum could be a nightmare if you didn't treat her right... I pause, unsure. So much for lack of homage.
As I pause the Trump winks at me. I should never have bothered animating it, but at least this way he thinks I can keep an eye on him. You see, Enoch, there is more than one way to skin a Ri'ik. I quite like to grab hold of its feet and swing..."

Hazard, despite being female, is the Crown Prince of 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 and Rinaldo. Love her or hate her, and you will generally do one or the other, or both at the same time, there is no ignoring this girl.
Grand-daughter of Brand, and also of his father Oberon, the somewhat inbred blood of Amber runs strong in her. She is utterly devoted to the safety of Amber, and somehow manages to enjoy the company of Benedict, mainly because she can annoy him so easily. When he gets annoyed he gets careless and she can borrow money on the proviso she leaves him alone for a while. This known technically as paying the Danegeld. Benedict is currently on trial for seducing her. Even the grim Lord Protector of Amber has fallen for her, and he may pay the ultimate price.
Her manic laugh, or her victorious chuckle, are often the last things that an enemy of Amber hears. After all, Benedict taught her how to fight, and she's probably the most talented pupil he ever had.

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.
Her last words were probably "Of course I'll bloody be alright, I'm Hazard. Now fly, you fool."
Her last words actually were, "Look on the bright side, girl - Now you won't have to pay Benedict the money you owe him."

She duly "returned to life" and saved the world in spectacular form. She is reported to have enjoyed her own funeral.

Now, due to a little Machiavelian dealing of the highest order, she is Crown Prince of Amber. 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.
