Charles zi Britannia
Power - Geass: World of Lies
The current Emperor of Britannia.
- Big Bad: For Britannia, at least.
- Not His Sled: His plan in this story is not to use the Ragnarok Connection, as his brother still believes. Instead, he intends to force Lelouch to enact the Zero Requiem from canon, dying after making the world unite in hatred of him, to bring about world peace in the aftermath.
- Villainous Rescue: Right as Pucci is on the cusp of total victory, Charles arrives to deal with the threat in person, using his Geass to bypass the priest's Stand and kill him with a headshot.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: His main goal is to end deceit and war in the world. His methods, however, involve trying to break his son to make him carry out his canonical Zero Requiem plan, up to and including losing his life in the process.
- What the Hell, Hero?: A weird example (though neither is a hero outside their own mind) where he gives one and receives one from his counterpart from canon.Canon!Charles: How dare you! You coward! You demean us both with this - This mockery of a scheme!
LLBR!Charles: You dare say that while you clung to Ragnarok to the very end?
Marianne vi Britannia
Power - Geass: Transference
The murdered favorite wife of Emperor Charles.
- Daddy's Little Villain: By age eleven, she was already assassinating people on her father's orders.
- Oh, Crap!: Has this expression when the furious ghost of C.C. (the non-evil, canon version) gets ahold of her in the climax.
- Related in the Adaptation: She's Dio Brando's daughter in this story.
- Undying Loyalty: To Charles.
Schneizel el Britannia
Power - Stand: Every Star
The Prime Minister and Second Prince of Britannia, one of the best tacticians on the planet.
- Always Someone Better: Lelouch has never been able to beat him at anything.
- Didn't See That Coming: Lelouch letting himself get stabbed with a sword (that had a Stand Arrow hidden in the tip). His narration admits he honestly hadn't considered that (or Lelouch's subsequent power-up) a possibility.

There's too much at stake! Humanity! The future! A better world, where humans can live at peace! You've robbed them of that possibility, for chaos and uncertainty! Wrrrrrryyyyy! Lelouch!
Cornelia li Britannia

Clovis la Britannia
Power - Stand: The Wall
The Third Prince of Britannia, and Viceroy of Area Eleven at the start of the story.
- Adaptational Badass: Canon Clovis couldn't do anything when Lelouch attacked him except beg for his life. This Clovis gives Lelouch his first real Stand fight.
- Adaptation Personality Change: He is much more confident than his quickly irritated canon self. In canon, he quickly lashed out at Bartley when the "poison gas" is stolen, while in this story he calmly berates Bartley instead, taking the chance to take a few sarcastic jabs at him while belittling him.
- Dishing Out Dirt: Clovis's Stand is comprised of bricks, which are sturdy (Durability A) and strong enough to create vibrations louder than a gunshot when striking something.
- Detachment Combat / Rocket Punch: The bricks that make up The Wall can be broken apart and launched like projectiles.
- Spectacular Spinning: His Orbital Death Storm technique, which has all of his bricks rotate as a Spin Attack, although it also uses 4 bricks on the ground that are all perpendicular to each other and sweeps the floor, which Clovis used to locate the invisible Lelouch.
- Hates Their Parent: When hearing of Lelouch and Nunnaly's supposed death for the first time, he lashed out at his paintings and blamed his father for their death, a scene not shown in the anime.
- Final Speech: After Lelouch fatally wounds him, Clovis comes to regret becoming consumed by vengeance, and begs his unseen killer not to continue the Cycle of Revenge. At the time, Lelouch just scoffs at that, but after going through a lot of Character Development, he begrudgingly admits that Clovis had a point.
- First-Episode Spoiler: Second chapter specifically, but the fact Clovis of all people has a Stand serves to emphasize how different this story will be from canon.
- In Spite of a Nail: He still dies from Lelouch shooting him, though it takes a while this time (and he doesn't know his shooter's identity).
- Starter Villain: Lelouch's first Stand-wielding opponent.

Power - Stand: Agent Orange
The leader of the Purebloods Faction, and a fervently Loyal soldier.
- Heroic Sacrifice: Gives his life helping Nunnally defeat V.V.
- Shock and Awe: The loyalty-based strikes of lightning aren't just a Running Gag - that's his Stand firing electricity. The first combat use of it is when he kills P 2 F.
- Took a Level in Kindness: Actually warms up to Suzaku during the final battle against Stand Out, after the Honorary Britannian risks himself to rescue the Purebloods under P 2 F's control (displaying his Loyalty in the process). He promotes him to Warrant Officer on the spot.

A high-ranked member of the Purebloods.
- Arc Villain: Serves as one to the biggest recurring threats in Arc 2, alongside Mao.
- Butt-Monkey: The story is not kind to him, to say the least.
- Sanity Slippage: Wasn't particularly stable to begin with, but by the end of Arc 2, he's barely able to play at being human, with a single-minded focus on killing Suzaku.
- Strapped to an Operating Table: Quite literally once Code-R gets their hands on him. Amongst other things, he's injected with Pillar Man blood.
- Was Once a Man: By the time the experiments are done, he barely qualifies as a human being anymore. Being made to forget his identity (alongside any unconscious limitations he was holding for himself) doesn't help that.
- Your Days Are Numbered: He only has a few days to live after Code-R is through with him. In that time, however, he intends to have revenge on those he feels wronged him, and doesn't care how much of Japan burns in the process.
Others

The elder twin bother of Emperor Charles, and current head of the Geass Order.
- Fate Worse than Death: He exits the story trapped under heavy, immovable debris at the bottom of a frozen lake far away from civilization (or Thought Elevators he can teleport to), with no one knowing where he is or caring to try and rescue him. Eventually, his mind shuts down entirely.
- Hate Plague: His Geass allowed him to drive anyone into a mindless, homicidal rage. Naturally, he used it to wipe out most of the royal family besides his father and brother.

The Geass Trio
Commander, Sergeant, Corporal
Power - Geass: Secret, Disorient, Fury
A trio of Geass bearers sent to interrogate the Kozuki resistance cell in the wake of Stand Out's debut.
- Better to Die than Be Killed / Defiant to the End: The Corporal uses one of the two poison capsules he had in his mouth to kill himself rather than give any information out to Kallen's group.
- Blinded by Rage: The Corporal's Geass, Fury, can inflict this on others that make eye contact with him.
- Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep" / No Name Given: None of them were really given a proper name, not that they were important enough to have one anyways.
- Fantastic Racism: Seems to have disdain for Stand users.
- Commander: Killed Frederick Breedington, did we? Strictly speaking I should turn you in, but if you promise to continue killing Stand users, I think we can make an exception.
- Fat Bastard: All 3 of them were described to be overweight.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: Kallen used a hand mirror to reflect the Corporal's Fury Geass to himself, giving Kallen enough time to put him out of comission.
- Interface Screw: The Seargent's Geass, Disorient, inflicts this effect on others within his range.
- Magical Eye: They're Geass users.
- Powers Do the Fighting: None of the three actually fought physically, instead only relying on their Geass powers.
- Smug Super: All three were very confident in their powers, believing that the power of Geass was outright superior to Stands and felt comfortable lording their powers over Kallen, Ohgi, and Tamaki without taking precautions to outside factors.
- Telepathy: The Commander's Geass, Secret, which functions similar to an inferior version of Mao's: The Commander can perceive secrets of the people he uses his Geass on, but his Geass doesn't give him the direct knowledge of the person's thoughts or opinions, only the things the person has said or done.
- Too Dumb to Live: The Commander makes the mistake of revealing it's lethal to try and have a Stand and Geass at the same time ... when someone is nearby with a Stand Arrow. The Commander realizes his mistake a second later before Lelouch strikes him with the Arrow.
- Warmup Boss: Serves as this to mostly Ohgi and Tamaki, but they're also the first Geass opponents Lelouch and Kallen faces. Their strategy, while effective, was simple as well, with Kallen deducing the limitations of their power within the first exposure to their powers. They also only last 1 chapter before dying.
- We Hardly Knew Ye: They're all dead by the end of their first appearance.
