[edit] Ebnez

See Ebnez.

[edit] Mnem

Her talent is perfect memory. She is the wife of Ebnez and mother of the Muses.

[edit] Muses of Mt. Parnassus

The muses of Xanth are the daughters of Ebnez and Mnem. They are Calliope, Clio, Erato, Euterpe, Melpomene, Polyhymenia, Terpsichore, Thalia, and Urania. One of these women may be an ancestress of Roland. They built Com-Pewter to aid them in their task to record everything that ever happens, but it was misdesigned and became a villain that can control reality within the confines of its cave.

[edit] Roland

Roland is the father of Bink and head of the Council of Elders of Xanth that appoint Kings and make certain decisions. He is a desendent of Ebnez, though his parentage is unknown. He has the power of the magic glance, freezing anyone with a look. He is married to Bianca. They currently reside in North Village. Roland was introduced in the first book of Xanth, A Spell for Chameleon.

[edit] Bianca

Bianca's married to Roland of The High Council and the mother of Bink. She currently resides in North Village with her husband Roland. Her talent is the instant replay. She can go turn back time five seconds to prevent accidents. Bianca was introduced in the first Xanth book, A Spell for Chameleon.

[edit] Bink

See Bink.

[edit] Chameleon

Chameleon's talent is shapeshifting. In a cycle that goes on perpetually throughout her life, she become ugly and smart, then of average intelligence and looks, then pretty but kind of stupid. This cycle takes place over a month, and may therefore be representative to another cycle women have. She is Bink's wife and Dor's mother. She currently resides with Bink just outside of Castle Roogna in a cottage cheese. Chameleon starred in A Spell for Chameleon and Night Mare. She was king during a Xanth wave.

[edit] Electra

Her talent is electricity. She charges the Heaven Cent. She is the wife of Dolph and mother of Dawn and Eve. She was put to sleep for 1,000 years (spent only about 900 of those years in the magical sleep, due to good behavior). Dolph wakened her with a kiss. He agreeded to be bethrouthed with her. But this caused problems since he was already betrothed to Nada Naga. She is the only princess in known memory to wear blue jeans. She worked for Sorceress Tapis, the Tapestry Maker, (She made the tapestry that sits in Ivy's room) before her deep sleep. The only reason that she could have married Dolph is because of Magician Murphy's talent which is "what can go wrong will go wrong" or Murphy's Law, causing her to activate the Heaven Cent instead of Taplin. She and Dolph are the parents of the twin princesses Dawn and Eve.
