Amans is the narrator of the romance, and the story is told mostly from his perspective. He is a young man about twenty years old who is of noble birth. At the outset of the narrative, he is naive and inexperienced. However, as the narrative progresses, he becomes more sophisticated in the ways of courtly love. He is attractive in manner and looks as Venus describes to Bialacoil in Lines 3731-3777. Very little explicit physical description is made of him, but Venus mentions his red lips and white teeth. It is also possible that he is blond, given the ambiguity in the word "fair."
