History Characters / KingsMaker

* CoolPet: The first time we see her in full, she's apparently chosen a ''lion'' as her LoyalAnimalCompanion.

* AwesomeMcCoolname: While his surname is a little hard to make sense of, given that it's likely made up for the setting, "Wolfgang," at least, is an Old German name that translates roughly to either "path of a wolf" or "traveling wolf."

* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: He's a kind, purehearted IllBoy who loves his family and has lived a sheltered life that's made him oblivious to the true nature of the world he lives in. [[spoiler:Naturally, he's killed off at the age of 13, and just to twist the knife even further, the King uses his funeral as an opportunity to remind the people of Goldenleonard to remain ever mindful of the rules of the palace, lest they should face a similar fate.]]

* IllBoy: Downplayed. As a toddler, he was apparently sickly enough to have to be sent away from the palace for years, but when we first meet him, his illness has receded enough so that the only mention of it is that he still needs to regularly take medication for it and can't be outdoors for very long. [[SoapOperaDisease It's also never specified what this illness exactly]] ''[[SoapOperaDisease is.]]''

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Has light lavender hair.

* HappilyAdopted: By the Duke of Ulysses. [[spoiler:Although really, it was one part adoption and one part LongCon revenge scheme.]]

* GoodParents: Sure, he had to [[spoiler:lure Sys out of hiding with promises of a LongCon,]] but all scheming aside, he genuinely cares for Sys, and did his best to raise him as his own and accept him for who he was, strange pastimes and all.

* TheIngenue: His innocence is adorable, sure, but woefully inconvenient for living in his father's DeadlyDecadentCourt. Pretty much the only thing that's keeping him from getting killed is his status as a prince [[spoiler:and even that only goes so far in the end.]]

* BigOlEyebrows: Downplayed, but definitely thick enough to be striking. They're unusually dark, too, in contrast with his blonde hair.

** Arguably {{Deconstructed}} and then {{Reconstructed}}, at least in Season 1. Wolfgang ''tries'' to take an ActionHero approach to his problems at first, picking fights upon witnessing any real or perceived injustice, but he is quickly reminded that this is likely to get either himself or other people in trouble instead of actually helping. And while in later episodes he's in charge of the parts of the rebellion concerned with physical combat, he makes it very clear that he won't stand for causing any unnecessary casualties or deaths just for the sake of making a point.

* DeliberateInjuryGambit: Pulls one in Season 2, Episode 8 in an attempt to lure out whoever poisoned him only weeks prior, by deliberately neglecting to inspect the food for an upcoming banquet, combing through the shipments until he found a poisoned sample, and then playing dead for all of five minutes until someone came forward to inspect his body. He finds a suspect in an unknown redheaded maid… only for her to turn into smoke and disappear into a nearby bottle. Wolfgang [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight remarks far too nonchalantly that it’s probably magic-related and will need further analysis,]] much to Shin’s frustration.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: In the same vein as the Duke of Ulysses, the most we get on Theo's ethnicity is that he was born and raised in Depennia - but we never actually see or hear enough of Depennia to know if darker skin is more common there.

** NotSoStoic: One that occasionally falters, too. As it turns out, internalizing just about every strong emotion that comes your way can have some unforeseen consequences.]]

* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Episode 22 reveals them to be this, as a result of "The Golden Blessing."

* {{Deuteragonist}}: Of Season 1 - apparently he's slotted to become a full-fledged {{Protagonist}} come Season 2.

** NotSoStoic: One that occasionally falters, too. As much as he internalizes... well, everything, there are a few moments where [[RealityEnsues being subjected to repeated sexual abuse gets to be a bit too much for him to bear alone, given that he's only about fourteen.]]

* PlotTriggeringDeath: Before her death, Wolfgang knew that the royal family was somewhat dubious, but had no real idea

* TheCaligula: Dangerous levels of incompetence? Check. HairTriggerTemper with a generous amount of [[AxCrazy Ax-Craziness]]? Check. Sexual deviancy? ''Huge'' check.

* AgentPeacock: Fashionable, pretty, decked out in pastels, and a key part in ensuring that Soohyuk and Wolfgang's plans for a rebellion succeed.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: In the same vein as the Duke of Ulysses, the most we get on Theo's ethnicity is that he was born and raised in Depennia - but we never actually see or hear enough of Depennia to know if darker skin tones are more common there.

* HeroicSacrifice: Ended up staying behind in her home while it was in flames, if only to make sure Wolfgang got out alive.

!Major Antagonists

[[folder:The King of Goldenleonard]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/leo.PNG]]

A tyrannical hedonist who's more concerned with preserving his own opulence and satisfying his more depraved urges than tending to matters of the state. While his apparent lack of ambition should make the task of overthrowing him a fairly easy one, his rather violent responses to any degree of opposition and determination to preserve his identity as the king decidedly do not.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/princes_2_3.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:some caption text]]

Wolfgang's other half-brothers, the three eldest sons of the king. Although they may be only following their father's lead, they also stand as a shining example of the deep-seated flaws of the royal family.
----
* JerkassHasAPoint: The third prince is the only noble not in on the plan to point out that [[spoiler:Soohyuk is using Wolfgang as a pawn to gain back his freedom, and even his eventually becoming king of Goldenleonard is only a means to that end.]] He's not entirely wrong, but by the time he caught on, not only had Soohyuk started to care about Wolfgang as a person, but [[spoiler:Wolfgang was already aware that Soohyuk was using him for his own agenda - it just so happens that he and Soohyuk have very similar goals.]]
* RoyalBrat: All three of them, as a result of their upbringing.

* PapaWolf: Once he discovers the King's less savory pastimes, he takes it upon himself to [[spoiler:poison his wine, unaware of the Golden Blessing's effects,]] presumably out of fear that he may one day turn on Dandelion.
