History: Blaise was born to a well-connected British family in the late 1960s. He went to all the right schools and read history at Oxford in the early 80s. While Blaise was at Oxford, he met a young American woman, Kendall Paxton, and fell in love with her. They were married after her Rhodes scholarship year and he came to the US with her--to Tampa. She was active in local politics in Tampa as a campaign consultant and political strategist for Democratic candidates. Blaise gained permanent residence in the US, although he's not yet a citizen. He was certified to teach and taught history in at Berkeley Prep, Tampa's best private high school. In 1995, Blaise and his wife were in a terrible car accident on I-75. The driver of an 18-wheeler lost control in the rain and jacknifed, striking Blaise's car. His wife was killed and Blaise himself was hospitalized for several months with broken bones and other injuries. He still limps a bit from the damage to his hip. After he recuperated, Blaise accepted a hefty insurance settlement from the owners of the truck. He couldn't bring himself to go back to teaching--he and his wife had been ready to start a family, and being around children was too painful--so instead he decided to open up a nightclub. In 1997 Blaise opened Club Montepulciano in the Ybor City district of Tampa. It's an upscale place with dinner, drinking, and dancing, and private rooms for various functions. Blaise has spent the last 10 years making a name for himself and Club Montepulciano. Something broke in Blaise when his wife died. Although he's still superficially the same friendly, slightly eccentric Englishman he's always been, his heart had shrivelled a little in his chest. He'd always been very law-abiding and upright, but his injuries and the runaround he got from the courts while the insurance company was settling for his injury left him bitter. While he's never done anything illegal, he's aware of a lot of criminal and quasi-legal activities that go down in and around his club. He does a lot of favors for a lot of people, and holds those favors until he can get some use out of them. He's also never had another steady girlfriend, possibly because he blames himself for his wife's death. Past Background Occupation: Prince of Amber. Education: Studied under the Master of the Line. Activities: General, swordsman, sorcerer, traitor. Home: Amber. Finance: Wealthy beyond your wildest dreams. History: Bleys is the middle child of Clarissa, third queen of Amber, second or third in line after King Oberon, depending on how you count things. He and his full siblings (Fiona and Brand) were trained by Dworkin, the Master of the Line (and their grandfather). They made contact with the enemy realm of Chaos, from which Amber sprang, and made a bargain with Chaos to put one of them (Brand) on the throne. Bleys was to command an army to help conquer Amber from his elder half-brother Eric, who was Regent and had decided to take the crown. Bleys and Fiona also arranged to imprison Oberon, who was looking for a way to repair the damage to the Pattern caused by Brand's efforts. As part of wrapping up the loose ends for their plan, Brand had found and tried to eliminate their lost brother Corwin. Bleys saved Corwin and arranged for him to be found on Shadow Earth. Later, when Corwin showed up with his memory restored, Bleys took him on as a partner in the attack on Amber. They led a huge army against Eric but were certain to lose. Bleys faked his own death by falling off Mt. Kolvir during the assault on Amber and being Trumped out by parties unknown. Later, through means unknown and undescribed, Bleys came back into his father's good graces and at the final battle against Chaos, swept in with cavalry to help fight the enemy army. He was in the good graces of the new King, his brother Random at the end of Corwin's chronicles. Romantic Marital Status: Unmarried. Sexual Preference: Straight.
