Lord Amthyst is a character in the first RuneScape novel, Betrayal at Falador. Amthyst was the elderly leader of the Burthorpe Imperial Guard and personal advisor to Prince Anlaf, the leader of Burthorpe. He was a casualty of the War of 164.

Amthyst was the first Lord Daquarius and his Kinshra men encountered when they charged Burthorpe Palace. Wanting to use the Prince as their puppet, Daquarius had Amthyst executed in the manner of a traitor, being cut into pieces and scattered throughout the courtyard.

Anlaf, already mentally unstable due to The Sybil's witchcraft, believed Daquarius's reasoning for Amthyst's execution. Daquarius claimed Amthyst had secretly been poisoning Anlaf, although this was untrue. Amthyst's position as head of the Imperial Guard was then given to Lord Radebaugh.

After Anlaf recovered his mental health, it is likely he learned the truth about Amthyst and payed him proper respects.
