Character · Book 6, The Eye of the Bedlam Bride

Amayon

One of the four crown princes of Sheol — the youngest, Samantha thinks — level 250, betrayed by a brother and expelled upward into the body of a zombie sea serpent during the eighth floor's Demon Eviction: a centaur-pig body, lava skin, a deer's head with four steaming horns and a beak of fire. He wants only to go home; the tithe is a world of souls. Ysalte, his former lover and the mother of his child, enslaves him; a crab, a martyr's steps and a beheading free him. He witnessed the deal that killed Geyrun, and will tell Emberus for the price of three brothers.

Arc

Through a zombie serpent (ch. 58); a fountain of fire into a red sky, a door home that needs the souls of a world (ch. 61); 'Ysalte, I will flay you again' (ch. 62); full size at the FOCSA building's chest, still Enslaved (ch. 66); punching himself in the face for two minutes (ch. 68); freed by a totem's deicide, laughing with Carl in his fist — 'I was witness to the deal being signed' — and tipping him toward the fire (ch. 69).
