Important Figures
Avalon, Highland Marches, Inismore
Queen Elaine
- Benevolent Mage Ruler: Elaine's relationship with the Graal and the Sidhe has given her shades of this, especially since she appears to be eternally youthful.
- Divine Right of Kings: Chosen by the Holy Grail... err... Graal.
- The Fair Folk: Spent 10 years living alongside them, which makes some of her subjects a little uncomfortable.
- Fiery Redhead: According to the notes to a GM on how to play Elaine.
- Heroic Bastard: She has royal blood, but is a bastard child. However, she was deemed pure and fair enough to be given the Graal. Moreover, she's a good queen who wants the best for her people.
- Hot Consort: Has two: Lawrence Lugh and Duchess Colleen MacLeod.
- The High Queen: She's a good and fair ruler who wants the best for her people.
- Magical Girl Queenliness Test: A rare Western example. Derwyddon had to prepare her for the trials at the hands of the Three Queens, who would test her right to rule Avalon.
- Royal Blood: One of the reasons why she was able to take the throne despite her bastard status.
Duchess Colleen MacLeod
- Conflicting Loyalty: Would love to the Highland Marches rule themselves, but her relationship with Elaine makes that complicated. Her fellow Separatists prefer a much more direct plan.
- Hot Consort: To Queen Elaine, despite being married already.
- Rebellious Rebel: As described under Conflicting Loyalty.
Derwyddon, High Wizard of Avalon
- The Fair Folk: Son of a Sidhe mother and a Avalon ruler.
- Hidden Elf Village: Turned Avalon into one when The Roman Empire invaded.
- Manipulative Bastard: Somewhere between this and Guile Hero. [[Spoiler: Part of why Derwyddon wants Elaine to succeed is so that he can see his mother in the Sidhe homeland once again.]]
- Seers: Was spouting prophecies from his cradle.
Daniele
- Ambadassador: Described as a talented musician, equestrian, and polyglot. As well as "polite and hospitable, dangerous in politics and caring to everyone around them."
- Ambiguous Gender: Dresses as either a handsome youth or in fabulous dresses in court.
- Changeling Tale: One possibility of their origin, specifically Elaine's changeling.
- Doppelgänger: Bears an uncanny resemblance to Elaine, and some suspect may be her sister spirited away by the Sidhe.
- My Country, Right or Wrong: Staunch defender of Avalon... with the caveat that the Sidhe are equal partners.
Jack O'Bannon, King of Inismore
- Benevolent Mage Ruler: Like Queen Elaine, the O'Bannon has access to Glamour, even if his ability is quite exceptional.
- But Now I Must Go:Has been known to abdicate the throne from time to time, with nothing more than a travel sack, his boots, and an "I'll be right back!" And he always does. Reportedly, he's been doing this for centuries...
- The Caligula: The O'Bannon is mad. Not evil... just mad.
- Cloud Cuckoolander: Comes with the territory of being actually insane.
- The Fair Folk: Supposedly the son of a Sidhe.
- Fighting Irish: Killed six hundred Castille invaders before claiming the crown of Inismore.
- Heroism Equals Job Qualification: The Inish figured he'd make a fine ruler since he saved them from the Castillans.
- Oireland: His title: King of Inismore
- Psycho Supporter: To Elaine. He has extended a personal protection to the Queen, and this helps keep Inismore under united Avalon rule.
- Silver Fox: Has thick, grey hair and his character art is quite dashing.
King James MacDuff
- Hunting "Accident": When he lost his son, the two were out on a hunt. One can suppose the assassins wanted to invoke this trope.
- Know When to Fold 'Em: Bent the knee to Elaine when she returned with the Graal because he knew it was the only chance to save the Highland Marches from its civil war.
- Outliving One's Offspring: Lost his son, Robert, during an assassination attempt.
- The Revolution Will Not Be Civilized: Due to his attempts to keep a unified Avalon, those wishing for independence have attempted to assassinate him multiple times.
- Scotireland: As with most of Theah, the Highland Marches are the theme park version of their real-life counterparts.
- Warrior Prince: How he became king.
Jeremiah Berek
- A Father to His Men: Has the loyalty of hundread of sailors and pirates across Avalon, and Theah as a whole.
- Royals Who Actually Do Something: Born an Avalonian noble, now a feared pirate... err... privateer.
Castille
The Good Kings Sandoval, Amadeo and Rocio
The twin children of the late King of Castille.
- Brother–Sister Team: Twin rulers of Castille, though the very existence of Rocio is a well-kept secret.
- Coordinated Clothes: Since they both act as King.
- Distressed Dude: Now that Amadeo is held captive in Vaticine City by the Inquisition.
- Gilded Cage: Amadeo's situation in the Vaticine since he is Rex Castilium.
- Half-Identical Twins: How they manage to get around being male-female twins acting simultaneously as ruler.
- King Incognito: How Amadeo and Rocio learned about their country while the other sat on the throne.
- Twin Switch: Amadeo and Rocio traded places as ruler every night before Amadeo's imprisonment.
Alfonso Sanchez
- Try to Fit That on a Business Card: Don Alfonso Sanchez de Ilurdoz, Conde-duque de Anguelma, Capitan de la Gurida de Fronteras y Obispo de Altamira
- Turbulent Priest: Priest and rebel against the Montaigne invaders.
Azra Uziel
- Protest Song: What the Rilasciare would like her to use her popularity for.
- Toros y Flamenco: Azra is a Spanish guitar virtuoso. Err... a Castillian guitar virtuoso.
Cardinal Esteban Verdugo
The leader of the feared Inquisition.
- The Chessmaster: Castille's defeat in the War of the Cross, and their near defeat by Montaigne, were both engineered by Cardinal Verdugo in order to secure his hold over the country.
- Freudian Excuse: He watched his family tear itself apart over the inheritance of the lands because of their lack of unity, explaining his current obsession with uniting Castille under his iron fist.
- From Nobody to Nightmare: Born a casual nobody in a Castillian hidalgo family that tore itself apart only to be sentenced to galley slavery by the Inquisition. Fast-forward 20+ years and Esteban practically rules the country through the terror of the Inquisition.
- The Fundamentalist: He's a religious fanatic intolerant of everything except his own uber-strict interpretation of Vaticene dogma.
- Knight Templar: In two ways; besides the fact that Verdugo is genuinely intolerant of everything except his own uber-strict interpretation of Vaticene dogma, he's also resolute in his desire to restore Castille's unity... no matter how much framing for heresy he needs to do.
- Straight Gay: It's probably the best kept secret in all of Castillian politics. God help you if you find proof of it.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: He genuinely thinks that uniting Castille under the iron fist of the Inquisition is for the best of the country.
Eisen
Elsa Posen
- Dirty Business: Elsa believes that identifying and registering all practitioners of Hexenwerk is in the best interests of her kingdom, as this means she can identify both potential sources of monsters and valuable resources for hunting monsters. Her corps of witch hunters is helping to "encourage" these practitioners to cooperate.
- Lady of War: Frau Posen commands the only Konigreich that was not destroyed by the War of the Cross at some point. Her massive army makes sure it stays in one piece.
Montaigne
L'Empereur Léon Alexandre XIV, Soleil de Montaigne
The Emperor of Montaigne and the chief cause of the country's decay.
- Big Bad: As close to the country has and a major source of the country's decay.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He's an utter bastard of a ruler, but loves his family.
- He genuinely loves his third wife Morella and the two conspire and scheme together to keep their power. They are said to send each other love letters or poems every day. Their enemies spent a lot of time and energy trying to decipher these obvious coded letters, but it turns out that the truth is: there is no code. They simply enjoy sending poems to each other regularly to express their love and admiration for one another.
- Also, while it's been soured by his disappointment over them not having Porte, he has some love for his daughters - especially his youngest Dominique whom he doted on during her entire childhood and who is one of the few persons who can still wring his heartstrings. At least, they are the only persons who are safe from his infamous temper tantrums.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Subverted when it comes to his intense hatred of George Rourke and the ATC. While he would gladly foist Rourke's head onto a pike some day, it's because Rourke advocates for a business free from the control of any government, not because Rourke's a ruthless slaver.
- French Jerk: As the peasants of Montaigne say: "L'Empereur is an angry drunk. And he is NEVER sober."
- Heir Club for Men: Would be willing to put on of his daughters on the throne but of the nine, only two are even remotely suitable and neither of them is a Porte user.
- Hollywood Atheist: He is a nasty and ruthless killer of believers in the Vaticin Church. He also lives in a world where the supernatural is a day to day occurrence.
- Manipulative Bastard: He's actually a lot more on the ball than anyone believes.
- Obfuscating Stupidity: He pretends to be an Upper-Class Twit during his feasts, but is in reality a cunning monarch who intends to continue to rule over his kingdom with an iron fist. Though it's Played With in the sense that, while he's a good schemer and social manipulator, his arrogance tends to make him a poor ruler when it comes to war or management.
Dominique de Montaigne
The youngest of the Emperor's nine daughters.
- Guile Heroine: While she's a genuinely heroic person, she's also clever, and well-versed in court intrigues and manipulations. She competes with her eldest half-sister to become the queen of Montaigne because she wants to improve the life of the commoners.
- White Sheep: Very surprising, given who her parents are. However, she genuinely wants the best for the people of Montaigne, and often travels the kingdom to help them. She's very popular among the common folks as a result.
