Ambrus's Links
To Ambrus, Dénes was his closest comrade and his most valuable ally within the Twelve Olympians. Not only did Dénes help this introvert bring his ideas to the other Olympians, he kept him company during long nights of spreading disease/collecting souls for the new afterlife.
Dénes was the first person Ambrus would turn to in times of trouble, even if he didn't have much more administrative power.
During the brief time they worked together, Ambrus was Dénes' very dearest friend. He was perhaps even infatuated with him, and became deeply depressed after he left.
Ambrus selected Mahir from his army of Soul Escorts to be his successor for managing the afterlife. He said he was a very bright god who was good at his job, but his real reason for picking Mahir may have been just because Mahir was not afraid or put off by him.
Mahir absolutely adored Ambrus. After Ambrus' disappearance, his adoration escalated to obsession and beyond. Ambrus' name became too holy to speak aloud, so Mahir began to call him "Death."
Ambrus and Rhonwen grow quite close to each other after he finishes his work in the afterlife and goes into hiding.
Rhonwen met Ambrus after the Stagnation, when they were both recovering from their injuries. She is supportive of him and considers him a friend, especially after he finishes his work in the afterlife.
Ambrus is a little unnerved by Aloys. He initially sees him as a helpful figure who has lifted him out of the dumps, but after learning they have different priorities, he wants to break away.
Aloys takes Ambrus on as an Aether Recovery Agent, a god involved in helping rebuild the post-Stagnation aether. Initially sees him as nothing more than a subordinate to give orders to. As he learns just how smart Ambrus is, he offers him more work and the position of Overseer Hermes. But Aloys needs to exercise absolute control, and when Ambrus starts pushing back against his decisions, he begins to see him as an enemy.
Ambrus left before they could formally meet.
Csasa's adoptive father, Rochus, likes to draw comparisons between him and Ambrus. He says their tempers were similar, especially when they were younger. Csasa grows tired of this talk after a while.
Ambrus is terrified of Johanna because she is always aggressive toward him. He senses that she doesn't like him, but he doesn't want to modify his own behavior. He decides that some people just can't get along.
Johanna has disliked Ambrus from the moment she met him. She thinks he is weak and infuriatingly disobedient. Even if he were to do as she says, she would probably still hate him. To her, Ambrus is a blight on Mount Caerus. Her feelings of hatred escalate until she can no longer contain them.
