Ammon is the star of the first book in the prequels, Five the Power Rising.
If I were to choose an actor today to play him, it would be Chris Hemsworth - only with auburn hair.
At the beginning of the book, Ammon is 27 thousand years old - young for Sharians. In Shara, people have lived as long as a million years.
He is 8 feet tall - the tallest of his family. If you've read the Chest of Souls main series, Tasut and Talon are some of his grandsons - which explains their great height, though neither achieved Ammon's full stature.

In this book, Ammon is the wayward son of the Master of Rozan Steading - and heir to the title. He is not known as the brightest apple in the bunch (he is one of 10 children Aaron and Sera had), but is known for following his 'gut' instinct and having a big heart - which is what is needed at Rozan Steading.
When you read of Shara, think of Australia as far as sheer size. Rozan Steading sits on the coast and stretches from north to south. It's a lot of land to harvest and protect. Their family home is grown, not built.
Good thing Ammon loves growing things. He's in charge of enormous trees (think Redwoods/Sequoias) called Family Trees where the names of family are grown into the bark.
Unfortunately, he also enjoys brawling, which he was only too happy to teach to his siblings. Frankly, he's good at it.
The people with 'talent' in this tale are called "Macshara" or "Macs" for short. They are elemental (earth, wind, fire, water) and the main reason Ammon carries such a load of attitude. If he had his way, he would eliminate them for what he perceives is insanity.
To add luster to the tale, Ammon's family has kept a secret about Ammon for millennia. It is a gift from his golden-eyed mother and not a common one. His father left out a few details before Ammon is forced to work at the Fortress in Brissa - like who their allies really are and what the enemy really wants and what they will do to get it.
You'll have to read the book to find out what those are.
