BENVOLIO

Important NPCs

• Julia Sawall - his mother. A much younger sister of Duke Gramble Sawall, head of the house. Whether from choice, lack of skill, or prejudice on the part of her relatives she seems to be kept far from the centres of power in Sawall. Benvolio gets on with his mother pretty well.

• Prince Martin of Amber - Benvolio's father, although he didn't know that until recently. Despite seeming to have very little in common, they have, so far, got on quite well. I (the player) can't help thinking that Taranis was more than a little jealous of Julia for getting her hands on Martin before she could...

• Lillith Helibore - Benvolio's arranged bride, the daughter of Garek Hellibore (head of the house) and Lucretia, Garek's wife. Although trained as an assassin, and heir to the special ability of House Helibore, that of being able to turn insubstantial (useful for assassins), she seemed not inclined to assassination as a career if she could avoid it. As such she was not at all what Benvolio was expecting from a member of House Helibore, which is partly why he went ahead and married her in the end, despite his initial ... misgivings.
  Lillith looks like a blonde version of Helena Bonham-Carter.

• Mandor Sawall - Not the real power in House Sawall after (and perhaps before) Gramble's death. Oh no.

• Despil Sawall - Benvolio's cousin who took after as Head of House after Duke Gramble's unfortunate demise. Surprisingly, he doesn't seem entirely under Mandor's thumb, but more in league with him...

• Benvolio has used the alias of Cornelius Rathrune before now.
