Amberites

The current Amber Family Tree, according to da GM.

Dworkin: Creator of the pattern and Oberon's parent via the male unicorn. Usually residing in Darkover with an alternate Dworkin, and sane for the first time in aeons. Currently fishing for Ingold with variable Pattern near the Spiral, with an alternate Pattern-less Dworkin hanging out upstairs.
Oberon: Formerly missing, blood-cursed, and possibly bleeding. Believed to have been killed by King Eric the Second after being discovered in shadow killing Jean-saucers.

Chaosians

The GM's list of the major individuals, houses, guilds, and guildmasters in the Courts of Chaos.

Realms Lords

Suhuy: the Logrus Master and all-around cool guy. Taken away by the Serpent and replaced by his apprentice, Ilkandacian. The past and current Suhuy has returned from the alternate universe he was promoted to by the Serpent, but that might just be temporary.
There is also an ectoplasmic ghost of Suhuy (ecto-Suhuy) who drew a variable Pattern in hillbilly Amber and was then killed by his younger brother in our reality.
Shiryu: the Realms Master of the Courts of Chaos.
Ferethyn: the Realms Mage of the Courts of Chaos. Also known as Fereth. Ferethyn is fine, perfectly fine. Jenoir and Andron sacrificed themselves so that he might escape from Cataan. Really.
Melchizedik: the Time Lord, often called Mel, and commonly referred to the by the logger as Melk. A liar.
Marial: Retired from First of Warriors' Guild to become the Warlord.
Savior of Chaos: See Ilkandacian.

Guild Heads and Seconds

Princess Harp: First of the Ambassadors Guild. Old Lord.
Branier: Second of the Ambassadors Guild.
Princess Chandra: First of the Assassins Guild. Old Lord.
Leareth: Second of the Bards Guild.
Snarsht: The Beastmaster, primary form of a giant cat. Old Lord.
Qrelon: First of the Crafters Guild. Shaped like a crystalline solid.
Morganthe: Second of the Crafters Guild.
Rainbow: First of the Dancers' Guild, Old Lord. Recently took over the Shifters Guild. Jean's father.
Silver Lyra: Formerly second of the Dancers' Guild, recently King of Chaos. Infested by shifter virus and stasis'd by the Time Lord.
Mystifer: Formerly first of the Etiquette Guild, apparently eaten by anti-dragons. The last remains of his body were moved to the pie tree reality in a vain attempt to stop the process.
Iain: Second of the Etiquette Guild
Shirest: First of the Healers Guild
Toram: Former Guildmaster of the Mages Guild. His body was killed in Suhuy's lab, his soul was killed in Clarissa's tower, and his mind was dumped onto the Primal Pattern. Not nearly dead enough -- his essence was hiding in the Spiral of Cobalt, and is still hiding in a number of Morganti kittens, and possibly some mages as well.
Jenoir: Formerly head of the Mages Guild, married to Andron. Recently elevated from Guild Second to Guildmaster. "Died" in Cataan to save Ferethyn.
Gauss: Head of the Mathematicians Guild.
Jance: Formerly guild-second of the Philosophers' Guild, then King of Chaos. Missing, presumed dead.
Bronelle: First of the Poisoners Guild, which has been demoted to a minor Guild and is being exterminated by the Assassins Guild. Dead, but not before spending quite a bit of time posing as Natasha.
Imagio: Formerly first of Psionists Guild, Old Lord, died tying the Overworld in Darkover to the ground world.
Andron: Formerly the Guildmaster of the Psionists Guild, married to Jenoir. Recently elevated from Second to First after Imagio's death. "Died" in Cataan to save Ferethyn.
Manfreid: Guildmaster of the Torturers' Guild. Possibly died in the recent attack on that Guild.

House Heads

Barimen: Head of the former House formerly known as Barimen. Tried to claim the Amberites as his own. Oops.
Chanicut: Head of House Chanicut.
Jesby: Matriarch of House Jesby and Cathryn's mother. Currently ex-head of ex-House Jesby, and called Bellahquist, or simply Bella. Died tying the Overworld in Darkover to the ground world. House Jesby is now considered to be extinct.
Mandor: Member of House Sawall. Currently running House Sawall (and the Council of Houses) despite having relinquished all claim to the House in the past. Amaranth's father.
Pharaban: Head of House Pharaban. Reeks of ancient, anti-entropic magic. Very powerful. Primary form of a primodial spider. Mostly aloof from House politics. Currently playing Superman and holding the Logrus train tracks together while Suhuy fixes them.
Little known information: Old Lord. Formerly apprenticed to Suhuy. Ran Chaos for a while when things weren't to his liking, and then established the Council of Houses so he wouldn't have to bother running things again. Known to have consorted with Titania, and it has been rumored that Titania is his daughter. It has been rumored that he moved Chaos at some point -- he towed it away from something, before there was a Pattern or an Abyss. Some people swear that he is a congealed branch of the Sea of Chance, not a person. Nobody has ever returned from his set of Black Zone kingdoms without his permission. Realms Lords have been known to consult him.
REN: Former Head of House Cara, formerly normally referred to as Cara. Resigned as House-head to accept an apprenticeship under Rainbow, leaving either his son Vladiochi or his nephew Ilkandacian in charge, depending on whom you ask and when. Currently running either the Dancers' Guild or the Shifters' Guild in Rainbow's absence in alternation with Flora.
Vladiochi: Son of REN, Head of House Cara, and first cousin to Ilkandacian. Called Vlad by his friends. Was scattered and Pattern-stapled across the Courts and nearby shadow and tainted by Gwen, but was reassembled by Ilk and Norton and pronounced clean after Gwen's destruction. For a brief period of time, Ilk was wandering around in Vlad's shape, pretending to be his cousin.
Tercarn: Recently raised to Head of House Helgram after all of the former leaders were deposed after Toram was defeated. Killed by plotters within House Helgram (we think) and replaced by his second, Neville.
