Beloved as well. I never fully appreciated him until The Tawny Man trilogy, and it took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out that Amber was the Fool, because I kept on being so confused about his gender. Still am a little.
I really wanted to know more about him, I love how he loves Fitz so completely but is still very strongly his own person. I loved his mystery, his sense of romance, his incredible ability to blend despite his standing out wherever he went, his love of small things. I loved his sense of destiny and acceptance of the most horrible fate imaginable, and most of all I loved his relationship with Fitz. I know that in the end Fitz got a sort-of happy ending, but it really broke my heart. I wanted Fitz to follow Beloved to ends of forever, even though it was so escapist of him. I loved that Fitz was even willing to do it.
Other characters I liked were Althea, Reyn, Etta and Kettriken. Althea's story arc was quite a let down, but initially I found I related to her determination the most. Etta was someone that nobody expected anything out of, but her determination and fearlessness were incredible. I dunno, I have a thing for the warrior women.
