The A-Files
His name was Eagle, and madness burned in those pale eyes of his. He had been killed by Benedict, and nobody mourned his passing. Perhaps even Brand had not. I put the card back into Benedict's case, and shuffled the others nervously. I, Hazard, Lord Kashfa, could have broken him in half, and not even been breathing hard afterwards. I was terrified of him. It didn't occur to me to ask why Benedict still kept his picture. He would not have answered.
Eagle, by sheer refusal to back down from anything, started Patternfall three years earlier than the defenders would have liked, by precipitating the madness of Brand.
However, he did have his uses - he kept the Elders in hysterics with his persistant refusal to believe that gunpowder, and indeed any technologies, would not work in Amber.
Later, Eagle returned by common consent, no plot twists being required. He wreaked havoc for a month or so, with poison, exploding tortoises, and random happenstance. It was he who accidentally poisoned his brother, Rinaldo. Consumed by guilt, for he did not mean to kill close family, he gave himself up to Gelt Carl, who appears to have mindwashed him into good behaviour. He is now to be found in Valliard's Haven.
The one log he appears in is marked on the logs page, and is worth reading. Also, he kept the GM in fits.
