Royal bastard, the crown's assassin
FitzChivalry Farseer is the illegitimate son of Prince Chivalry, brought as a small child to the fortress of Buckkeep. Acknowledged for the royal blood in his veins, he is secretly schooled in the quiet arts of poison and blade by old Chade. Gifted in both the Skill and the forbidden animal magic of the Wit, he becomes, despite himself, an instrument of the fate of the Six Duchies.
