Gabilan

Gabilan is a minor villain in the Amulet series.

Amulet
In book three, "The Cloud Searchers", the Elf King hires Gabilan as an assassin to hunt down Emily Hayes and her companions, along with the Elf King's son, Trellis, who has betrayed him again. Though he questions the Elf King's motives for wanting to kill his own son, the only thing he seems to care for is his payment. When he is told he will only be given half, he is upset. Gabilan asks Logi, who gave his payment, if he was enjoying working for his master, to which Logi replied: "It is not about enjoyment sir. It is simply survival. For my services, he allows me to live." Gabilan then proceeds to ride off with his giant bird, promising Logi a better wage "when he is king", implying that he plans to steal the throne from the tyrannical Elf King.
