Hello, everyone. Setting aside the main gimmick of the blog to share some troubling news that was just released today, as far as I know.

Nigel Lambert, the voice of Merle Ambrose, has unfortunately passed away at the age of 80 last month. This man has shaped our childhoods and continued to guide us on our journeys over the past 15 years of our wonderful Wizard101, and it genuinely pains me to hear he is no longer with us. I want to take this moment to honor this man who gave his time and his voice for so many of us, and to take comfort in knowing he is at least at peace.

Rest in peace, Nigel. Thank you for everything, Headmaster.

I can't really put it into full coherent words right now, but I did want to acknowledge Nigel Lambert's recent passing.

I know we all love to joke about Ambrose, whom Nigel voiced, sending the wizard (and arguably other characters) in perilious quests that he just simply doesnt wanna deal with or whatnot, but in all seriousness, I absolutely love Ambrose's character. A big part of why I think Ambrose works as a character is because Nigel is able to balance Merle's lighthearted kookiness with his age, knowledge, and the weight and fear that he carries from his many lived experiences.

A scene that comes to mind is when Ambrose banishes Morganthe from Ravenwood; the way Ambrose talks about it being HIS failure to teach Morganthe, and even though he states his disappointment with her, you can feel from Nigel's performance that the character of Ambrose is just as disappointment in himself. as the player, you understand that, in that moment, Merle really believed that this was the 'right' choice for Morganthe, to send her away, to find a better teacher than what he could offer. Obviously there are more layers to it, but the way Nigel was able to convey those underlying emotions through his acting was impeccable, and is partly why a lot of the scenes he's in in Arc 2, especially this one, stuck with me so much over the years.

I could go on, but really I just wanted to say that I'm incredibly grateful for the life he brought to Ambrose, and the whole of Wizard101. A voice that millions of kids have heard, and thousands of us still know today. Thank you, Mr. Lambert, for bringing magic into my life, both in childhood and now in my adult life.

(Btw, we at KI were not aware of his passing until a few days ago. It's possible some folks where aware, but at large it was unknown to us.)
