Ambrose Temple, called
Grundo, is a character in
The Merlin Conspiracy. He is a gruff, eccentric young boy who lives in the King's Progress, the travelling Court of
Blest, because his mother
Sybil is a Court enchantress. He has an older sister,
Alicia, but he long ago adopted
Roddy Hyde as his preferred older sister. Grundo is dyslexic - which affects the way he does magic, as well - but very bright.
