* KnightInShiningArmor: Geros Lahvoheetos is polite, humble to a fault, unfailingly chivalrous and courageous. Has trouble grasping that wetting himself in terror would only be cowardice if it ''stopped'' him from behaving bravely, which it never does.


Added DiffLines:

* WarriorPrince: Bili Morghun, aka Bili the Axe. Born heir to a duchy but rises to archduke and later prince of his part of the Confederation. A pleasant gentleman to those he finds honourable... but also a very deadly warrior and prone to sometimes brutal judgement, such as massacring rebels by the hundreds to ensure that the consequences of rebellion will be utterly apparent for the future.
