The term 'her companion' and 'the young noble' are used once each in a three page interaction between the two, but there are other ways that it could have been done. As it reads, to me at least, it comes off stiff. And with like NOTHING else to really describe the character, Wyman is about as flat as they come.

As to your question, personally, yes, I think the ambiguity of the character was kinda forced upon the story, since Emily is such an important character, and a fan fave. As I said, the way it was handled, it seemed very stiff, and even slowed the plot along truth be told.

In a way, it almost felt like very blatant car or other product placement within a television series where the characters talk about how awesome a new 2016 vehicle is and what perks it has in the midst of a crime investigation. Just ugh.

I think omitting the character altogether or merely mentioning the name Wyman without ever having the person appear in the book would have been better.

I do want to say this though: These are merely my opinions on the matter. Nothing more or less.

Addendum: 'her companion' is used twice, and the word 'them' is used to describe both Emily and Wyman together.
