Aleksandre Rivendeneira (Rambert)
Contents
Sobriquet
Merchant of Dreams
Appearance
While Rambert is tall by medieval standards, just a little over six-feet tall, and weighs a solid two-hundred and fifty pounds. The Merchant of Dreams was once a man of unremarkable physical prowess, but seventy years of sleeping half the day away has had an averse effect and he is starting to run towards fat. Despite a tendency towards corpulence, Rambert can still make love with ferocity and in times of danger, he can move faster and fight harder than most would credit him. Despite being born in Spain, Rambert hails from the far north-western corner of Iberia, a place where the Moors never managed to penetrate and so while he is dark of hair and eye, he is fair complected. He wears his hair long past his shoulders and maintains a well trimmed beard. In vestment, he prefers black robes trimmed in white, all the better to impress his customers with his powers over darkness and dreams. Unlike most sorcerers, he caparisons himself with relatively few baubles and often belts on a sword.
Behavior
Rambert is a smooth-talker, with the ladies at least, and with customers too. Yet, his harsh judgments and sharp tongue, often leave those around him disinclined to associate with him without good reason. Beneath the surface however, Rambert is a calculating man whose primary love is himself, all other be damned.
History
Rambert was born in northern Spain in 982 A.D. He was born the fourth son of Ante Heiko Rivendeneira a nobleman. His mother was named Iria Noella Botello. His older brothers are Heike, Sikke, and Estavo. He has one older sister and one younger, Wobbe and Maria. The word of the local serfs is that his father has bastards littered up and down the countryside, as he was prolific in his bedding of women.
Rambert went to Santiago de Compostela to train in letters, living in the Abbay de Santiago from the time he was eight until he reached his majority at sixteen. When he first came to the Pageant he was known as Aleksanteri Rivendeneira according to Bekhet.
Recent Events: Rambert lost containment on the demon Amun-Ameneith. The demon escaped in the city.
