Biography
ambrose has always lived life as a free man, following the example his favorite brother byron often set for him. if the second son could get away with so much, you could only imagine what the third got up to. he lived his life comfortably and frivolously, entertaining the beautiful whenever he pleased. that was, up until about two years ago.
wild ambrose appeared to be tamed––something no one could even accomplish with the second eldest st. clair boy. around the same time, extravagant gifts began arriving at a certain lady’s estate, one only down the road from the st. clairs’. the most uncontrollable st. clair brother seemed to calm down … until his eldest brother’s untimely death.
charles’s passing, following only years after their father’s death, sent the family into disarray. byron returned home, somehow changed and not at all changed all at once, his sister’s debut was postponed, and ambrose … well, ambrose couldn’t exactly be called calm any longer. for the six months of proper mourning, no one saw ambrose st. clair. all of his time was spent on the family estate, and he refused to take any social calls.
it wasn’t until the six months had passed that he slipped into his old habits, while gaining some new ones as well. not only did he disregard societal rules and expectations as before, but he also picked up the bad habit of drinking and gambling.
lately, he’s had a bad streak, and in a desperate attempt to save his own arse, ambrose threw in his sister’s hand in marriage as a bet.
Rumors:
1. He notoriously ended an engagement before the family moved, although no one is sure of why
2. He is often found drunk and gambling, sometimes going so far as to reach into the family coffers to keep playing.
