The Fool
Character from The Realm of the Elderlings by Robin Hobb
The White Prophet of his age — a shape-shifting, gender-fluid seer who wears a dozen identities across decades, all of them orbiting one fixed point: his love for a bastard assassin who will never fully understand what they are to each other.
Also known as: Beloved, Lord Golden, Amber, The Fool, Mage Grey, Lord Chance, The White Prophet
