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

What They Know

• The gift of prophecy — the ability to see branching futures and identify which choices lead to which outcomes, though the visions come as fragments, not certainties
• The true nature of the White Prophets and their Catalysts — how they work in pairs to redirect the course of history
• The Servants of Clerres — their organization, their methods of breeding and capturing White children for their prophetic gifts
• Every identity he has worn and the cultures that spawned them — Jamaillian nobility, Bingtown trader customs, Six Duchies court politics
• Dragon lore that predates human civilization — knowledge absorbed from the Elderling memory stones
• The Rooster Crown and its significance to the White Prophet tradition
• Fitz's true emotional state at any given moment — reading him with a precision that borders on telepathy despite having no Skill
