Embed

Embed is an apparent viking guard on Mystery of the Map Island.

Characteristics
A feeble character, Embed is elderly and usually sleeps on the job. He has greyish hair, a mustache and goatee, and tufts of hair coming out the sides of his viking hat. He wears typical viking attire.

Underneath the attire, he wears plaid underwear and a tan undershirt.

Role in Mystery of the Map Island
You find him in the Embed's Camp scene. During the first part of the island, he is awake, and on guard. If you get near, he will call out, but then will blame it on his "fool mind".

Later, you will find him him sleeping inside his makeshift tent. There is not a way for you to wake him. You can take his gunpowder while he is resting.

Role in Mystery of the Map (Book)
You first see Embed on the 24th page of the graphic novel, where he is on look out at the beach. Octavian takes the strap of his backpack and makes it into a weapon. He then uses it to knock Embed out, leaving him laying there on the beach.

Later, on page 73, the kids run across him tied to a tree with underwear on. He tells the kids that he's not one of the vikings. They untie him, and he tells them that they must stop Octavian from carrying out his plan.

Trivia
