Corwin is the narrator and main character of Roger Zelazny's machiavellian series of books, "The Chronicles of Amber", which begins with "Nine Princes in Amber". Corwin is a Prince of Amber with power over the Pattern and thus has god-like abilities including super human strength and endurance, nigh immortality and the ability to effect probability and mold reality to his own choosing. Like the rest of his family, Corwin is a backstabbing, egotistical, power-hungry cheat and liar even though he'll probably convince you otherwise.
