Ambrose Shining was a silversmith and jeweler who lived in Wensley Village.[1]
Description[]
Little was revealed of Ambrose's physical description, though he was described to be wearing a leather vest.[2]
However, Ambrose was noted to be a creature of habit, following a strict schedule everyday.[1] He was also noted to be cautious, having stored his precious materials in a hidden lockbox,[1] which proved to be useful--though ultimately futile--when he was robbed. When Nuttal claimed to be looking to have his mother's necklace fixed, Ambrose noted that tact and charm were not his long suits.[3]
History[]
Dinner for Five[]
When Ambrose returned home after lunch and was about to open his strongbox, he was interrupted by a knock on the door. Upon opening the door, the three robbers--Nuttal, Mound, and Tomas--attacked and restrained him. However, they began fighting amongst themselves when they realized the strongbox--which contained valuable materials such as silver and precious stones--was still closed. They searched the building and eventually found the key in one of Ambrose's pockets, using it to open to safe before making their escape.
They left Ambrose tied up, tricking him into thinking they're headed toward Stiller's Ford. Ambrose escaped and told the town guard where the men had gone; however, it was the wrong location.
Skills[]
As a silversmith and jeweler, Ambrose was skilled in delicate metalworking and jewel polishing, though he mainly dealt with jewelry design and repair. He was shown sketching jewelry designs with a graphite stylus.[1]
