The Fool enters Fitz's life as Buckkeep's enigmatic jester, his ghostly pale skin and colorless eyes marking him as profoundly otherworldly, scentless and ethereal. From cryptic jests and prophetic warnings, he becomes Fitz's unlikely confidant and mirror, their bond deepening through shared visions and the Wit magic's mysteries. Surviving intrigues and foretelling cataclysms, the Fool evolves from court fool to pivotal ally, his riddles shaping Fitz's path in the Farseer saga.
Description
Glowing white and pale skin, colorless eyes, slender and ethereal. A human figure with very pale skin, a slender, slight, bird-boned build, and pale eyes that appear nearly colourless in dim light and faintly blue in daylight. The face is eggshell-shaped, with small white teeth; fine, pale hair floats around the head. The Fool’s usual clothing is motley, often black and white, with bells and a cap; particular outfits vary.
