The Assassin's Blade - Audiobook: The Assassin and The Desert
Westy for Arobynn Hamel - RC
Arobynn Hamel (Ah-row-bin Ham-el) is the King of the Assassins in the Northern Territories, he a is shrewd and ruthless leader, whose cunning mind and brutally cold-hearted tactics have got him to where he is today. He sees himself as the primary caregiver to Celaena, having taken her in when shes was only eight years old, and had her trained to be the most effective and deadly weapon he can use to shape his kingdom. He does not tolerate disobedience lightly and brings swift and harsh judgment down upon those who defy him. He provides for Celaena a lavish lifestyle, full of opulence having spent a fortune on her wardrobe alone, BUT it comes with a heavy price, in that he has made Celaena indebted to him through it, making her have to pay him back every coin he spent on her, before she can leave to live her own life. He is an abusive master to Celaena, revelling in the hold he has over her. He considers Celanea to be his and his alone to do with as he wishes. In his own deluded way, he sees his actions as just and that it is his way of showing that he cares for her. When in truth, he cannot bear the thought of losing her to anyone she wishes to love.
His voice is that of a middle range and he speaks with a BRITISH/ ENGLISH accent. He speaks with a cultured elegance and sharp coldness, this is a man who has worked and schemed and killed to get to the top and he will stop at nothing to not only keep his position but to expand his territories until he is the King of all the Assasins in the realm.
Returning Character:
Arobynn Hamel is one of the many roles within The Assassins Blade Novella's in that we find in the later Novella's and briefly in the later books, so If you apply for this role you must be willing to be on the project long term. He continues to plague Celaena well into the book series as this man is not so easy to get loose from.
IMPORTANT:
Arobynn Hamel is a key character that turns up in the remaining Novellas and in the book Queen of Shadow, be it in a flashback or in person. In TAATD he only appears in a small flashback with some lines but will be needed in all of the remaining Novellas after that as well as some parts of the main books. So know, when you audition for this role, that you will have a small part in TAATD but have much more in the Novella's to come.

[In the Flashback - Sam and Celaena have just come back from Skulls bay, and have told you what they have done, they destroyed one of the best business deals you worked tirelessly on perfecting. You feel betrayed by Celaena. This disobedience will not go unpunished, there is an Ice cold rage in you.]
(Cold fury, sinister)
"Do you know how much money you've cost me?"
[You are still sat in your chair facing away from them, letting your anger slip a little bit to put Sam in his place, you don't like how close Sam is getting with Celaena. Best to make a point to him as well.]
(Snapped sharply, growling)
"Don't lie to me Sam Cortland! The only way you became involved in this was because she decided to do it-and it was either let her die trying or help her."
[This is right before you begin to beat Celaena bloody, you are making sure to emphasise each and every sentence, you want to make sure that she will know to NEVER betray you again.]
(Quietly, right up close in her face)
"You are not going to enjoy this. You will not forget this. And I don’t want you to."
