Amren (ACOTAR)

Character from the ACOTAR book series. Amren (pronounced: Am-ren) is a High Fae who lives in Velaris. She is the Second-in-command to the High Lord and Lady of the Night Court and is part of Rhysand's Inner Circle. Amren is an extremely powerful creature of unknown origins and a former inmate of the Prison. She is said to have escaped after a millennia long imprisonment by giving up “her grace and perfect immortality" to bind herself and her soul into a High Fae body thus being Made. She is said to be older than even Prythian and is believed to have slipped into the world from a different realm when Prythian was forming, only to be trapped when the rift she came through closed at will. When Nesta Archeron asks her what she was, Amren replies that she was "a messenger and soldier-assassin for a wrathful god who ruled a young world." Amren drinks blood to sustain herself and hoards baubles and belongings, threatening unspecified but deadly punishment towards anyone who would try to steal them.
