Inkarnate, the Literate Snark
Inkarnate is a Snark. His experience and luck have led him to mature into the Boojum class of Snark, which does make him a fairly dangerous creature. However, he is also a bit of a dabbler in all things, and has never particularly focused on being merely dangerous, (as his kind are known to do). He observes that to do so would tend to the exclusion of finer things such as collecting china dogs, reading literature, and eating dark chocolate.
Since the Boojum class of Snark are very solitary except during the mating century, his peculiar lifestyle has not caused him any particular notoriety.
His association with Amber began with his crossing paths with the Lady Farris, daughter of Coral. On this occasion, a trio of young Frost Dragons had decided to track down Inkarnate for his "treasure" and the pleasure of slaying a creature of some reputation, Lady Farris was instrumental in preserving Ink's collection of signed first editions from being damaged by the fallout from the battle (it also happened that she paralyzed one of the dragons, which didn't hurt either but made his victory less satisfying).
Ink has thereafter, desperately sought for some way to repay the Lady's aid and end the implied debt if not the association. The Lady has not quite cooperated. Ink has, in the meanwhile, been forced to admire the style, wit, and aplomb of the Lady Farris, who Ink has yet to succeed in intimidating (much to his chagrin).
Ink has, lately, debated some way of adding her to his collection. In the meanwhile, he has aided her in various small tasks until she poses him something challenging enough to discharge the debt between them fully.
On that day, perhaps, if she is very clever, he won't eat her.
