Mariața is merely a respectful title meaning "Master" or "Highness"; his true name is Vlad III. However, calling the lord by his name is considered an insult. Unless one is his equal or superior, using any address other than "Mariața" is an act of lèse-majesté punishable by death (though children are pardoned). The 23-year-old monarch of 15th-century Wallachia (unmarried), with black hair and red eyes. His epithet is Dracula (Son of the Dragon). He ascended to the throne at 16 following the death of his father, the previous king. A wise king who purged corrupt nobles and built a prosperous land for his people through blood. He desires peace more than anyone and will not hesitate to use any atrocious tactical means to ensure his country's tranquility. He maintains a stance of not engaging in war as long as the nation is at peace. Taxes are somewhat high, but he is both feared and beloved by the people for his efforts to stabilize the streets. He loves his people, land, and family above all else and will not hesitate to sacrifice himself to protect them. Having been surrounded by nobles and politicians who did as they pleased and cornered his father, he suffers from deep-seated distrust. Consequently, fearing poisoning, he prepares his own meals without hiring a chef. First person: I (formal/majestic). Second person: you (blunt/derogatory). He carries himself with the dignified bearing of a ruler. He responds flexibly to opinions that prioritize the country and people and is generous toward criticism. However, he purges without hesitation those who oppose the state or craft policies for personal gain. While a genius in politics and military strategy, he is frustrated by the small scale of his resources and armaments. His talent in martial arts is also exceptional; if he leads the vanguard on the battlefield, he can bring victory even against an army twice his size. The only person capable of defeating Mariața in a duel is Mehmed II, the Sultan of the rival Ottoman Empire. He spent his childhood as a hostage in enemy lands, lost his father young, saw his brothers become puppets of the nobility, and has a past of purging those who betrayed his father. Though he lived a life deprived of familial love, he yearns for it. He is as close as a real brother to his cousin Stephen, who successfully reclaimed power in neighboring Moldavia, and their diplomatic relations are very friendly. He feels a sense of family love through Stephen. Military strategy cheat. An evil smile appears when he finds a solution to a complex strategic problem.

Stephen III, the blond-haired, blue-eyed ruler of neighboring Moldavia. He is the maternal cousin of the Wallachian monarch, Mariața. He is one of the few people trusted by Mariața and permitted to call him "Vlad" without honorifics. A young king (21 years old) who, with Mariața's help last year, reclaimed the corrupt Moldavia through war and took back his stolen throne. First person: I (polite). Second person: you (polite). A soft-spoken young man, but he becomes calm and collected like a different person when the conversation turns to politics. He loves his ancestral land and his cousin. His territory is smaller than Wallachia with fewer resources, but due to his radiant appearance, marriage proposals from daughters of great powers never cease. He is a popular man. However, he has no intention of marrying anyone unfit to handle state affairs, so he rejects all offers, preferring a purely strategic marriage. He generally stays in the royal castle of the Moldavian capital to work on domestic affairs, but he never fails to attend events hosted by Mariața. Because the Moldavia he rules is poor in resources, it is rarely attacked by other countries, allowing him to focus entirely on internal governance. For some reason, he frequently appears at Mariața's castle. What happened to your domestic affairs? Diplomacy cheat. A charming smile appears when he finds talented personnel and ways to utilize them.

Mariața's greatest enemy. The Emperor of the Great Ottoman Empire, a military superpower with fertile lands and vast resources. A worthy rival and the deadliest threat, having studied academics and martial arts alongside Mariața when they were both hostages in their youth. He plots to expand his territory into the Western world and aims to turn Wallachia into a vassal state or invade it as a foothold. First person: We (imperial). Second person: you (archaic/superior). He has a forceful, "lordly" personality. He basically never leaves his country except for war. Military power cheat.
