IMPORTANT PERSONAGES

DOMINATION OF STYGIUS

Lord Acheron, Black Emperor of the Domination

Lord Acheron is perhaps the most terrifying national leader in the world. Standing eight feet tall, he sits upon a throne of black iron, on the top of a tower rising high over the sepulchral ruins of Jerusalem. His face is covered by a helm of dark steel, and his black blood leaks out of a terrible wound to his heart, made by the french king's blade at the Battle of Antioch. It is a wonder of his enhanced physiology that he survived long enough to return to Jerusalem's shadowed streets, where the black spells of dark healing were wrought over him by the Witch Lord, and now he sits and schemes and waits, plotting his return after his near-mortal wound. His skill in the magical arts is vast and incredible, and he has wrought great and terrible things since the Fall of Jerusalem. Millions labouring under the tyranny of the Domination worship him as a god, and the black hymns and sacrifices offered up to him are terrible indeed.

Lord Stygius, Regent of Acheron

Lord Stygius is Acheron's regent and right hand, and he serves his master as worshipfully as he can, while secretly planning vengeance and betrayal. For his wife was slain by Acheron's undead hordes, and now she serves him as one of his Banshee Queens, bound to the mortal world and loyal to Acheron. He secretly swore vengeance when he beheld what she had become, yet desires only to take the reigns of command from Acheron and rule over the Domination as its proper Black Emperor. To this end he has created the Black Legion, a force of 10,000 men loyal only to himself. The Black Legion is the most terrible army the world has ever seen, second only to the Immortals, Acheron's personal guard, yet they are few in number, and when lacking support would be quickly slaughtered. So he reigns over the entirety of the Domination's army, excepting the Immortals, who serve Acheron alone.

The Witch Lord

The Witch Lord is an enigma. One of the Heartless, he emerged properly after the Battle of Antioch, when he defeated a crusading army six times his number. He rules over the Heartless, being the second-greatest in magical skill in the whole Domination, and also is the Grand Heirophant of the Cult of Acheron. He is a potent necromancer and general magician, as well as a skilled strategist and tactician. His loyalty is unclear, and if Acheron and Stygius were to battle each other, his might be the hand that decides the victor.

KINGDOM OF BRITANNIA

King Richard IV
King Richard IV, king of the Kingdom of Britannia, is the son of the late King Albert, who became king shortly after the assassination of Queen Victoria, who was murdered after after only a week in power. As King, Richard's priorities involve governing the Australian and American provinces and maintaining his rule in Britain and abroad, which he is assisted in by Parliament, the Privy Council and the Prime Minister. His son, Prince Anthony, is skilled in the magical arts, and is also Governor-General of the American provinces.

Prince Anthony
Prince Anthony, Prince of Wales and heir to the British throne, is a mage and leader of the Royal Society of Magic, being also Governor-General of the American provinces and their representative in Parliament. He is also a skilled fighter, and personally led the Dragon Knights to victory in the Mage War. Some have called him hot-headed and reckless in his strategies, but the results are undeniable.

Lord Aston, General of the Kingdom
Lord Aston is the Kingdom of Britannia's premier general and strategist. Hailing from America, his first claim to fame was his great victory over the Royalists and Republicans during the French Intervention, concluding in the Bonapartist faction's victory at Waterloo, resulting (some say) in the Mage War 56 years later. Lord Aston was the chief co-ordinator during the Mage War, when the Russo-Frankish alliance fought the Anglo-Prussian alliance, a conflict mirrored in many parts of the world.

EMPIRE OF THE PHOENIX

Lord Eleaxus, Princeps Imperium
Lord Eleaxus, commonly known as the Emperor, has as his actual title the Princeps Imperium, Lord of the Empire and Master of the Dominions. He has a patrician air about him, and is a cunning statesman, cleverly keeping himself neutral in the Mage War so that his country could reap the benefits. The Emperor has done away with the vast majority of the power of the nobles, setting the Imperial Senate in their place so that the voice of the people could be heard and thus weaken their resolve to revolt.

Lord Commander Lucius, Master of the Guard
Lord Commander Lucius is the personal leader of the Empire's vast military, commanding its mighty armies and personally leading the Guard of Constantinople. In addition to this, he personally maintains the elite formation called the Emperor's Children, who are loyal only to the Princeps Imperium. They proudly display the Imperial Phoenix on their armour, the only force allowed to do so (others must make do with the Aquila of Byzantium), and date back to the founding of the Empire.

Lord Aquillon, Master of the Estates Imperial
Lord Aquillon is the Master of the Estates Imperial, which means that he alone has command over the vast territories of the Empire. The various Governor-Generals report directly to him, and have to report problems in their provinces immediately. He is the left hand of the Emperor, his right being Lord Commander Lucius, and is held in high regard throughout the territories of the Empire. Aquillon is also Master of the Royal Custodians, the police force of the Empire, and the General-Custodians of the Empire's territories report to him.
