# **Prince Amon**

Prince Amon is the Prince of the court of Pride in The Origin's Daughter series by Alexandra St. Pierre. He is introduced as a morally grey villain in the first instalment.

## **Prince Amon Bio:**

Prince Amon was born September 19 1627 to King Leif and Queen Freya. When he turned 18, for his Quickening, Amon was gifted Bond-Breaker. A sword forged from night itself that all had presumed to be lost until it was gifted to him by the Titan Frira. He was bewildered and did not understand why the titan gifted this sword to him at the time, but it became apparent why he would need it much later.

After his Quickening, it became apparent that Prince Amon was much stronger than his father. His power levels combined with the gift of the Bond-Breaker made him a considerable threat - so his mother urged him to pledge himself to Aleites in serve in his guard. This was to serve the purpose of both getting him away from his father, who would likely plot to kill him if he could not control him, while also training him extensively in combat. This is where he met Dossidian. Dossidian trained Amon to help him get into Aleite's guard. During his time in Aleite's court, Amon was exposed to a completely different paternal figure. One who had high expectations of Amon, and who was fair and just.

Prince Amon became inextricably loyal to Aleites and wanted to model himself after the Origin himself. He learned politics from him, spent a considerable amount of time in all of the other courts, making friends and enemies. When Aleites brought home Elvira, Amon was skeptical as everyone else at first. But came to love her as much as Aleites did.

Shortly after this, the rebellion began, and things started to get dark.

In the great battle between Anjoilie Nevra and the Origin that resulted Aleites being frozen in stone,  Prince Amon was tricked into a fake trade deal and was not present to defend The Origin and his Mate, Elvira.

Once The Origin and Elvira are frozen in stone, Ash Nevra, who had been primed by her mother to battle and rule in her place. She perverted the natural bond that Daemons have always been able to forge with other beings into what she called the slavery bond. Disgusted by this, Amon asks his father to help him over throw Ash Nevra, as he had Bond-Breaker, is the only known way to sever bonded beings. His father tells Amon no, and that he is to serve Ash Nevra as her unofficial consort and executioner. He threatens the life of Amon's mother, if Amon refuses to comply.

So for the next 250 years, Prince Amon serves Ash Nevra in her nightmare court of lust, earning himself a vicious reputation as a ruthless daemon who torturous and executes innocents for fun. This is largely why Raven, Conrad, and Meredith do not trust him when he first appears in the first book.
