Ambrose was the second of two children, born to a family of no significant wealth or status in the 1500’s. Ambrose discovered he was a necromancer, and took that responsibility very seriously. His brother, Jasper, rose in power in the witch world, until he had a seat on the witch high council, aiming to become the next Chancellor.

Ambrose had no ambitions of power, he wanted to use his magic to help all beast and witches bring back their loved ones. He bought a small cottage with his meager wealth and used it to open up a necromancy shop for anyone to come, all he asked was a bit of meat and bread for him and his saber toothed lion familiar, Samantha. Ambrose fell in love with a fairy named Sindair, who taught him how to speak Fairy, but she didn't love him back and she broke it off before he could get too serious.

Jasper eventually took his rise to power too seriously, and let his prejudice take over against magical beasts, believing they were not as powerful as witches and therefore not worthy of being equals with them. Ambrose continued to use his magic to help the beasts, despite the increasing tension rising between the species. When Jasper tried to steal the necromancy books, Ambrose fled with them in his bags, and died at the hands of his brother after fleeing to the Underworld.

With Ambrose dead, Jasper's reign of terror continued, but magical beasts refused to allow witches to enslave them after killing their friend. This would lead to a centuries long magical war, dividing beasts and witches until something changed and brought lasting peace.

After Izzy's time magic weakened the demon portal, Ambrose was able to pass through back to the human world as a ghost. In this current reality, he appeared to a young 15 year old Jaz, who had lost her magical spark from not specializing. He realized she was his soulmate, and stayed by her side as a guardian until she regained her magic five years later.
